So i have been thinking of getting a v8 for a while now, i have had 2 other cars i have been working on one was dsm the other was a rx7 i got the rx7 in the 13's was upset after all the work i did to be so low.. then built the rx7 and was equally disappointed.

So i have been looking online and around my town for a v8 i can get into the 12's high or low 13's. Well the reason im here is to see what you guys think about the car i went and test drove today.

87 5.0
E7 heads with almost everything that can be done to them i.e. port polish. And chromoly pushrods by trick flow, 550 lift springs
A/C delete

arp headbolts, new lifters

Typhoon polished intake

pro products 65 mm throttle body

anderson powerpype

pmas 80mm mass air

36 lb injectors

fmu system and 255 fuel pump underdrive pulleys w/ billet ac delete kit, 10 lb pulley

water pump and double r timing chain new

3 core radiator w/ electric fan

worldclass t5 built by southwest gear 3.73 gears, b&m shortshift

Bbk shorty headers and 40 series flowmasters

It has pony wheels with "ok" tread on the tire and also it comes with a set of slicks (mickey thompson et streets) and skinnies on polished welds.


Guy said he ran a 12.9 ( we are at almost 5000 feet here so thats pretty good for around here i am moving though to san Antonio so it should run a faster time there.)


Thank you for reading tell me what you think


There is also this cari havent looked at but its 2000 less than the previous

96 cobra
leather 5speed
76 k miles
BBK longtube headers
flowmaster
410 ford racing gears

without any time slips or videos of that fox, imma ay hes lying his *** off to you

if the 96 cobra is less money, youd be stupid not to buy it.

So the cobra sold... lame

but i found this guy what do you think?

If my goal is low 13's high 12's would this be a good place to start?

Up for sale is an 89' Mustang 5.0 Coupe, this is an ex DPS Police Car. I bought this car in Dallas, Tx a couple years back and have since a couple thousand hooking it up. My car has the following mods:
-GT40P Heads
-MSD Distributor
-Ford Racing Wiring
-24lb injectors
-BBK Longtubes
-Alum Drive shaft
-Trick Flow Stage 1 cam
-Ford Racing 373 gears
-MGW Short Shifter with Adj Handle
-Flow Master 40 Series Full Exhaust
-O/R H Pipe
-Alum Radiator
-Built 8.8 Rear End
-5 lug conversion

not a bad starting point. But I would suggest you buy an OEM distributor, and toss the MSD in the trunk incase you ever need a spare.

enix187

anywhere is a good place to start, just make sure he has some way to verify the mods he has listed, reciepts and so forth, and that it runs well, see if he'll let you take it for a good hour long test drive (with him or whatever, I always just offer to buy a tank of gas) and see if the car has hiccups, be careful with the test drives though, you can get into trouble if the unforeseen happens

AdderMk2

heres a random one... How much are you planning on spending?

okay so the 89 5.0 i posted last has a 93 cobra motor with all the work done.
I have between 5-6k to buy the car. That one the guy is asking around 5 for it so that would leave me with a little extra the supercharged 87 is 6.

I thinking about going with the 89 with the 93 motor due to not being worked to much like the supercharged one i know that one has been to the track quite a bit.

Sorry for posting in the wrong area i just thought it was tech because im trying to buy the car then find out what i will have to do to get it into the high 12's low 13's.

benjammcd

also the 89 with the 93 cobra motor only has 60k on it not bad i don't think and it already has suspension done too cant remember what he said but its decent.
