RE: 86 GT?
well... i know its overpriced. but I've found its hard to find good stangs for good prices around where I live. Plus, eventually I want to do a 351 build, so I could care less about how much power it has stock. If i get another stang, all I want really is good paint, good body, and I'm really starting to lean towards a 4-eyed... and t-tops would be cool.

RE: 86 GT?

its 200 hp, and its not CFI,its the same FI on all 87-93 stangs. its got cyclone swirl cylinder heads and flat topped pistons, so youve got to notch them to get aftermarket heads. in 87 they changed the heads resulting in the 25 hp boost...

RE: 86 GT?
5K is too much for a 86.
Unless its a really clean body.
86 motor is no good with its flat top pistons and crappy flowing heads. 7.5" rear
if you're going to do a 351 swap, get a late model 4 cyl.
if you like 4 eyes, then i dunno, get an 85 GT.
Unless the body is super good (show) dont pay 5K
its too much
