Default looking to go to the dark side

i was originally a big Chevy V8 guy even though the family was fords, went to dodge high performance 4 banger SRT-4 then to a (current) 2009 Subaru WRX, after dumping 37 K into the car including the original price I've come to sinces, I can either make my 11.5 Second subaru reliable by putting a 7K tranny behind it or i can by a 12 second mustang for 2500-6K if i wait for a good deal. kinda a no brainer being that all I'm doing is taking value out of the subie and its perfectly happy so long as i don't do a 7k clutch dump. time to buy a new car just wondering if you guys have any recommendations as to what to buy my boy from back home just bought a caged 82 gt with a fully built 307 that with slicks is running in the 12's for 2400 on motor. this is exactly what i want but wanted to know what to beware of and what i should look for. any info would be great thanks guys

Welcome! Sounds like a decent plan you have. It'll probably take some shopping around to find the right deal, but it makes good sense.
