true.. but i have have been serching for more than 1 hr on google and cant seem to find any place that sells stuff for a 82

88BlueGT

I have two 5.0's and they are both 87-93 so Im really not familiar with anything older than 86's... maybe wait for some 4eye guys to chime in

there are many cars i have found for sale but they are all not what im looking for
.1982 manual 500$
1989 auto 1500$
1991 manual vert 2000$

i think i will end up getting the 89 and 82 and make one car out of them

5.0kid

i would go with that 89 auto. its got efi n its an auto. Did i see that you only want to spend 5g on the car because if thats true you wont be able to make it into the 11's. 12's yes but i doubt 11's with only 5 g

q8stang

no what i meant was im spednig way more than 5 gs
and i know autos are quiker than manuals but is the stock auto any good? is there a company that rebuilds them?

88BlueGT

get the 89 auto. Pull that auto out and slap in a bullet proof C4 in there. If its a drag car, thats what I would do 100% hands down. Check out redneck racing, you can get a C4 built for 700hp, custom converter, transbrake, the works for $1200 bucks. Plus it makes the swap easy if you already have an automatic.

if you dont mind me putting in some insight. A small block doesnt have the potential the big block does. I hate guys anymore say they make 800 horse with a tt or s/c kit. I just think its fake power. BTW 750-800 horse for a bbf can be done with stock block, stock crank and possibly stock heads n/a pending on which you go with. But one thing ur going to want is suspension. People dont realize how important suspension is. It can make the differene between a 10 and 9 second car. jmo good luck

fake power? lmao OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK. I understand having a thing for NA cars but "FAKE" power? :/

Oh yea and btw, I'd love to see one of these big block fords making 800hp NA stock headed cars.

yeah for what your after i would go with the 89 also.



and it sounds like your lookin at the same car i am as i had talked to dave the owner of the 82 earlier and he sent me some pics and the car is pretty rough needs a bunch of body work and interior is not so good and the motor looks alright but said stock rods and cast pistons so no nos for it.

but man i am lookin at this same car and just had to sell my other fox because of medical bills and i was wanting to pick this up for my winter project for the money you say you have to spend i would look for a newer fox for your future thoughts...........................plus i want this.
