RE: finally decided.
Yea, 400 on the spray is what I'm shooting for, approx 300 and some change off of the bottle, only problem is gonna be the possible 450 rwtq on the bottle, there is my big problem because of the tranny and rear end, thank God it's a mod that will go largely unused.
Yea, $3500 is a decent price.
LX Sport is the stripped down version of the foxbody mustang. The LX Sport looks just like the 2.3L LX, except it has a 5.0L instead of the 2.3L, the GT has the body kit and interior upgrade.

you think i can find a 89-91 fox in decent shape for about 3500? and whats the diff between the lx and gt? and how strong is the rear end?

First pic is an LX, second is a GT. They have the exact same performance, just different looks. The tranny is good to approx 450 rwtq, the rear end is around 300 rwhp, maybe a little more.

Well it can handle much more than that, but if you rag it out, then 300 is about the limit, but 400+ is possible, you just can't dog out on it, but get an Auburn, Eaton, or Detroit when you do your gear swap, and you're good to go.

Well if it means anything to a few of you guys, sometime hear in the near future I'm gonna buy me another 94-98 V6 just so I can do the M-90 swap and polish out the engine bay. It will not be for at least another year, because I've got to finish off the GT first. I've got just a little bit left on the loan for the car, and I wanna get the Saleen body work done first, but after that, the V6 will be comming.
Why another 94-98 you ask. Well, that's easy, they get decent mpg, I like the way they look, and the urge to swap out an M-90 on a sixer is killing me. I'm preferably looking for a 94-95 model because of the cheaper insurence, but I've got some time on my hands to think that one over.

btw, average with just a m90 and GT take offs (needed for backpreasure) is around 200 rwhp, and 300 rwft/lbs
just skiming the rest, 89-92 for 5.0s cause of forged rods and pistons as well as an MAF
