Hey guys. I'm making a transition from Chevy to Ford. So please bare with me if any of what I am saying is noob like. There is a guy selling a 88 GT Mustang. 5- speed, It has a 306, cammed, claims the bottom end is forged, still has all the EFI components. All suspension has been redone, Cobra R rims, Autometer water filled gauges, 5-lug conversion, very clean interior. Anywho, the car has a nice miss. Idle it's no issue and at WOT it's no problem at all. But cruising speeds it's a killer. I want to know if this is something I should dive into or not? Here is a list of some parts and pics. Thanks for any help at all!!!

Oh, he also claims that before he parked it for some time, it ran fine?

Mass air conversion
MSD distributor n wires
Ported heads, intake, and BBK throttle body
Full exaust, Long tubes, X-Pipe, Flow masters
Full suspension. Tubular Rear upper n lower control arms, Moroso trick springs front n back, Lakewood 50-50's n 70-30's, All new bushings in the front end, Frame connectors and welded battle boxes

Most of the time a small problem like that results in the sale. Usually cause they couldnt figure it out!

That could too further ur disliking to our cars!

Oh boy.

ported heads, I assume stock?? and it has an intake.....all that and 36 lbs inj...wtf...overkill, with 36's it'd better have some boost too if it has a 255 in tank and a helper inline

Injectors are way to big for the supporting mods! Unless the car is supercharged or turbocharged!

lol, nevermind, just saw the pics of the motor..lol = stock motor with a cai, buyer beware, don't take his work , ask for proof/documentaion of work to motor....if you get the ole , ummm, well I don't have that....= run!!!!!

Looked at the pics so that is out of the question! Sounds like whoever was building that car had forced induction in mind sometime down the road!

God that Hood is so ugly with those little cobra like scoops in it.

Thanks for all the input guys!!The owner DOES have a turbo kit for it and did have plans to turbo it. He claims to have over $7k in receipts for all the work that was put into it.

So the injectors could be the issue then? I just wanna know if it's worth me getting into it or not.

I agee 1986GT, hood would need to GO if I were to buy it.
