87-93 Stang
Hey guys,
First post here...hope I can get some input. I've owned several Mustangs in the past years. I keep going back to the 87-93 Mustang. There's something about 'em that I just love! Anyway, my question is this: is it easier to buy a 90-93 and install a tilt steering column from an 89 model, or buy an 89 and install 90-93 front fenders and speedometer cluster (140 mph cluster)? I really like the tilt steering wheel, but I also like the 140 mph speedometer. I plan to run a 17x9 or 18x9 rim, so I need the 90-93 front fenders. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!!

RE: 87-93 Stang
Thanks for the info, guys. I had a 89 Notchback and the speedo only went to 85...I was thinking that all of 'em were like that.
How difficult/expensive is it to swap to mass air on a pre-89? I heard that some 88 models in California were mass air as well.
Thanks for the advice on the wheels, too. I'm just a little concerned on what size of wheel/tire combo I can fit in the front without rubbing too much.
