86 5.0L

im young and starting college(and have a job) so this might take awhile to finish but.....

I would like to have a good daily-driver(but be able to lay the smack-down when I choose to ) HAS to have A/C, seeing 115+ temps out here no modifications to the inside(tearing the carpet and rear seats, etc) or outside. Under the hood would be a completely different story and hopefully some five-O experts can help me out, this is what i've compiled so far:

and....

Theres a 5.0 racing class here in Mexicali(Hugh city right across the border in Mexico) that im gonna start participating in, only limits are how deep your pockets go, and its only 5.0 Powered vehicles, doesnt matter if its a miata or F150 crewcab

and finally am able to start work on my 5.0.



Above is what I *think* is my finally list,[8D][8D][8D]

If you plan on doing alot of mods you should consider converting to Mass Air. Converting it is easier than dealing with the problems that will show once you start doing major modifications.

yep, mas air is the way to go.

But i would go with long tube BBK's instad of the shorties, you'll be much happier in the long run. Sound better to.

88BlueGT

Nah, I would keep the shorties. Also, LT's are not as loud as shorties. I had MAC LT's w/ a MAC Pro-Chamber and American thunders and my SLP LM 1's are almost just as loud alone as my whole setup that was on my 88 GT.

That sounds like a pretty good list of things to put on your car. Good Luck!

i like the longtubes better myself. I dunno, they sound a lil different to me, i dunno...ears must be goin out on me....

88BlueGT

^^ They do sound deeper..... but just not as loud. Heres a soundclip of my 88 GT

MAC LT's
MAC Pro-Chamber
Flowmaster American Thunders

BTW, disregard the loud whistle...

It did sound pretty nice though

88stangaruu

Hell, when im riding through neighborhoods dogs come running up to me. Damn BBK TB's

haha, sounds sharp man.

88BlueGT

Yea, that was my 88 when it was together and running...

Heres the beast now...

I just baught a really nice 10 X 20 tent last week so I can continue to work on it again. I have the whole interior, body, new rad support, fromt bumper, doors, rear bumper, hood, etc. etc. etc. So I got LOTS of work to do lol haha

samseed101

Just to add my $0.02....

I'm not sure I'd go with 3.55 gears. I would chose between 3.73 or 4.10. 3.55 just doesn't seem worth it... but that's just me. I'm already wondering if I should have went to 4.10 over my 3.73.
