1984's are not on the list.
If you are going racing it's better because they are light, Any SBF screws right in, no air baggie,
No 8.8 either but they are quite inexpensive around here........

i put 1991 because it's mine

but i like the body style on 1989-1993's might not be the ideal car for racing but it does have MAF and 8.8 and all that good stuff

Though I own a 90, I love the look of the 85/86 front end. Probably just 86 'cuz that is F.I. But I woulnt say that it is the BEST fox body. Mybe 89 is being the fact of MAS and no bags!! But even 90 - 93 nothing to remove the air bag!!

he means fuel injected..... 87-89 are the best years because they dont have map pockets, and they dont have air bags.. they can easily be converted to mass air

I am not too happy about your poll because you started at 87 and the foxbody starts at 79 and goes all the way up to 93 so do it right the first time buddy.
