advice?
ok i need some advice...im am looking into buying a 1985 mustang gt....the conditions are as follows:
carburated 302, engine has lower end knock after if gets hot, might actually be a wrist pin noise. body is in fair condition, the doors are a little rotted has 8.8 posi rear end with 3.55 gears good tranny 5 speed.
for $650, is that worth it? and will it be expensive to get the engine diagnosed to see what the knocking is?

RE: advice?
For that price, who cares what shape the engine's in. As long as the body is true and straight and not much work is needed to get the
body up to snuff, you can always buy a crate motor and have at it. Central Coast Mustang sells a very inexpensive long block that is way more powerful than an '85 mill. If the body is in good condition, buy it for $650.00, you won't lose money. Best of luck!
