Default Hey guys, Just picked up a 92 Gt. I'm New to the 5.0 forum

But Have been on the S197forum for awhile. I just got... well a few months ago anyway I got this 92 GT. 331 stroker with Trick flow heads and intake. Not sure which one of either.
Maybe someone can tell me where to look for #s and find out. It came with a Tremec TKO 5 speed and HD clutch. 30 lb injectors and in tank fuel pump. 8 point cage, race seats and set up with 150 NOS shot.
I just got done installing battle boxes. UPR upper and lower adj. Control arms. FRPP drag springs front and rear plus dual air bags in the back. Lakewood drag shocks on all corners. Car is pretty much gutted from behind the front seats. I also installed all new door pins, door and Hatch seals plus new sunroof seals. Got a set of M/T ET 28x11.5 x15 streets on the rear and M/T 26x4"x15 sportsmans on the front. Full MSD Ing. But an old 6al it looks like.
The rear is a moser 31 spline full spool with c clip elim. 430 gears. Alum. DS. and Loop already on it.
Any thoughts on what else to do other than UPRs front K and controls. I got a $Great$ deal on her. Plan on giving to my son to use for track nights and street class racing at the local track.

Thanks...it does and is sweet..esp for what I paid. with very little rust $4,800 plus I have put about $1,500 more in it with the suspension, new tires $700 alone, door and hatch seals and such. Battery dry cell, cut-off and other little crap that suck money away. So I have under $6500 in it right now. Took it down the track for the first time sun. Ran a best 7.7 1/8 mile on motor only. Got some tweeking to do before we spray!
Got some more plans for customizing the interior later. My son is 21. I have him doing most of the heavy work on the stang. He has been putting a lot of work into it lately. Must be thinking he might get it since I have an 05 and a 66. .......He's right!

At least a 12 flat I would hope. I would like to get in the mid 10s on a 150 shot of spray.
