Hello folks,

I'm thinking about getting a FOX stang to bang out in the new year . Do you guys have any suggestions of years i should be looking at? I have seen that they stopped making the forged pistons in 1993 or 1992(honestly am not sure..lol)? Thanks for the help guys i have been viewing this forum(just joined the other day) for quite a while and it seems to be a great community. I am also torn between an automatic and a manual. I have read that the auto and manual are basically just as good, maybe even better with its consistency. But the manual is simply more fun I have read. I appreciate you even taking the time to reading this guys and I am looking forward to your replies. Thanks

 

welcome friend, get an 89-92 fox because of the forged pistons. you are right in 93+ they discontinued the use of forged pistons. manuals are fun, i have a manual and i love it. if you like autos, thats ok too because your driving a foxbody in which case they all got *****... welcome to the boards, tell us how it goes.

 

find one that has bolt on done to it ..this will save $$$ and time.....me I like the 85-86..the seats are killer..I doubt these wuld have the org. engine in them......just take your time when choosing....

 

I appreciate it guys. Yea its going to be my daily driver im which i plan to give good amount of oumph. I'm gona to get some moderate all motor horsepower then most likely ill slap twin turbos on it. I picked up a MM&FF with a good turbo guide in it for all mustangs so that looks like it will be a definite mod. I also want to get some decent handeling mods. For some background info my dad has two 1966 mustangs(coupe and vert) and a 1968(vert). He is a mustang enthusiast and a member of mustang club of america. I never was really interested in mustangs I was atcually bent on getting an Rx-7 or Supra(non fast and furious inspired) but I think itll be more fun seeing those in the rear-view(after A LOT of work of course) . On import forums the stang owners (FOX especially) always gets a bad name, that has stoked my fire for getting one even more. Just to prove 'em wrong. Of course the sound, huge aftermarket, and mean looks of a FOX stang always stood out to me. When i get the car I'm planning on 300 horsepower as my first goal, and then ill go up from there. Really love the forum guys, and I am looking forward to participating in a great community.

 

gonna take every bolt on there is to get 300hp, unless you go the heads cam and intake route

 

Get anything from 89 - 92 ... 88 and under come with "SD" speed density and its not bad just your going to to convert over to MAF if you start moding ... and yeah 93 dosent come with Forged Pistions

 

if you go twin turbo you won't be using that block ....so build one while ya drive the car

 

i gotta 88 that came stock with mass air... only coz its a cali car tho

 

get a 93 !!!!

 

or an 88 and convert to mass air[sm=goodidea.gif]
