my cousin built a brand new 347..all forged paqrts..all msd...and its in a decent 85 mustang with a 85 model 5 speed...he didt relize the cost of racing..so the car is for sale to me for 3000.00 .i plan on buying this car..my question is will that year model 5 speed hold up to the 347..also the motor has 10-1 pistons ..protop line heads and a .520 lift cam..rpm intake..and 750 holley...the motor has never been fired up yet...it also has the wimopy 7.5 rear..what is your guys thoughts on this

If the tires don't slip much, the rear should be the first to break...otherwise, 3g sounds like a good deal.
Buy it after the cam has been broken in and the engine otherwise 'tuned and broken in'.

It would cost a heck of a lot more to build that motor. I would definately grab it while you can

he has 7000 in the car --motor and labor and parts...2000 for the hard core assembly...i gettin it..i just wanted to know about the tranny strenght

trans will go in it when..anyone guess...the 7.5 will hold up for awhile but you can't run slicks at all..drive it while you save for an 8.8 posi unit

buy it just dont go crazy in it until you replace the rear and get new tranny or build up the existing tranny with stronger components. you should buy it drive it around nice and easy for a while and save for what you need to complete work in the mean time.

buy it its a steal! like everyone else is saying dont romp on it till u get a bigger rear and a beefier trans by this time u should have broken in ur car a lil also make sure its tuned in properly b4 u drive it

i cant drive it before its tuned... we just put the motor -tranny in..it still needs finished ..he has almost every thing...it still need little thing..belts , hoses, exaust work...he has no time to finish it and is really tired of spending $$$ on it...but he siad that if he does finish it ..he will not sell it...so i have to get it now..and me driving it easy is problay not going to happen...im just crazy sometimes...i know that the 7.5 in a s10 are a lot stronger than people think..but im not sure about the ford 7.5..but i have seen some 11 sec cars with the ford 7.5 rear..

BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT. Then drive until you get better trans and rear. Then Try your best to twist the axles out of that BISH.
