it's all cool, but i want to find out where it stands as of right now, and see what kind of improvements i can make on it and plus i want to maybe kinda restore some back to the orignal color blue paint.

plus i had to get a older mustang because i'm in a car club and they wanted me to get a car that was over 20yrs old, but for 12 second car how fast would that be in mph? i kinda wanna dress it up nice but yet i want it to outrun most the stangs around town that are V-8 powered?

how's this for an idea.

make it look like a Pace car. there was a pace car that was a turbo 4cyl 2.3L. it has silverand black color with orange letters to signify the pace car status..

making a pace car clone would be cool as hell and being a 6popper would make it even cooler

that supersix website has alot of neat things but, the 3.8 blocks looks longer then the 83 mercury cougars? and plus they kinda expensive too.. got any websites for the 4bbl carbs that would work for a 83 mercury cougars 3.8's

i found the 4bbl and manifolds for the 82-88 so i'm gonna assume that will work for the cougars engine since its suppose to be a 83 year model engine

3.8 blocks were physically the same size from 82 to present regardless of what vehicle it was originally in.

Morana's manifold will fit your engine. check out his cams too and headers for your car

why would you not? you can't beat that price. and you don't have to have emissions done in most places because of the year
