Stock looks....+ engine and suspension upgrades=win

TommyHotWheel · 11-04-2010, 10:32 PM

The list I am planning is...sub frame connectors, upgraded torque boxes, lowered 1.5 inches, poly bushings, new K member, and then some interior and I wanna pull the engine and toss in a 347. I will not be touching the body, I want a sleeper look. The 85 was the last year they used carbs on Mustangs, that was one of the reasons I was worried about cutting in to it. As for the wheels, I have the parts for a 5 lug conversion, I want 17s, like the Saleen style or the FR500, I want handling. I am really still on the fence, but if I can figure out what needs to be done to upgrade it and return it to stock, I will start. Hey OSP...I may not sell ya the 'Stang...but I have a Tiller...carbon fiber baby.

Go ahead and mod what's underneath, but don't change the wheels or add ghey body kits to it.

Agree with this.

If you want any dart stuff, let me know I'll put you in contact with somebody... I know ownership.

Dart would be nice, I have a buddy that works at Rousch and a friend I made down here races dirt track...he gets parts from the Nascar scrap guys. A nascar spec 358 would be The SHIZZZ! But thats down the line.

Well if you need... PM me

TommyHotWheel · 11-05-2010, 03:30 PM

Thanks Gas, but engine work is last on the list, I will be rolling thru Detroit next time I come up and hopefully getting a tour of building 50 or the Livonia Campus. In the meantime, I have my eye on a suspension package and there is a set of 17 inch wheels that would look great when the disability check finally gets here...

Engine & suspension should be first & second on the list.
