I just joined the forum and i am itching to do some stuff. I love when you get money back from the IRS.. its like XMas ( LOL)

Well i have read so many things on the net and i am so confused. I am only a member of this forum for Mustangs because it was highly recommended.

My car has approx about 106,000, 4 spd, compression is right on the money.
(completely stock except rims)

I have located a 1989 Ford F150 5.0 [complete engine] for 200 bucks w/ 65,000 miles on it.
I also might be able to get a set of gt40 heads for about 300 that have less them 40,000 on them.
I am wondering what cam. intake and carb. I am also on somewhat of a budget.
Also I found a Kenne Bell 2.1 supercharger for 500 for the kit. (NIB)

perhaps someone can help me make this decison.

here is what i have to work with:

Did you buy the KB? Save the money and put it elsewhere.

those rims are stock....not for an 82 but they are stock oem 87-90 gt turbine rims and lower the car down some...it looks "red" sittin' up that high

Bobert

Really?! For $500 id be all over that kb.

OP if your going to pass on the kb, pm me the sellers details

If the OP is on a budget, buying a KB is tieing up money that could be used elsewhere and the KB will require more money to make the car operate properly.

If that '82 were mine I'd start at the rear bumper and work my way forward.
First thing to consider is the rear axle.
Need to get an 8.8" out of a later Mustang before you worry about the engine, good running 6 cylinder cars tear uop that 7.5" axle all the time.........
BTW, look for an '86 or later Mustang for the axle, 100% bolt-in.......

sorry I have not replied. I have been super buisy. I picked up the KB and the other engine. Also 2010 dash, center console, and 2 sets of gt40 heads. Yes tinman i was told to get the rear end changed due to the torque the car will be making. So i am looking to do a change over to 5 studs rather then. 8.8 w/ 3.55 gears is what Kb told me when i called them, It will be a while until i can afford the rest of the parts necessary for the KB to be put on. I am switching from carb to EFI so this will be a fun feat to do. Also there is a 85 SVO for sale in my area if anyone wants to know more info contact me.

Why is a supercharger company giving rear end gear advice? There are so many variables.
