new to me that is. It's a 93 Mustang LX. I've been looking for a nice fox body for awhile now. I really like the body style. I wanted something I could cruise with and go to the drag strip as well. This one is a little more strip than street. ok...a lot more strip...lol. But that's ok..most of my cars are that way. It's got a 331 (stroked 302) with cnc ported holley intake and trick flow heads. Cast steel crank with forged h beam rods and forged Ross pistons. 10.5:1 compression. Custom hydraulic roller cam. 1 3/4 Kooks headers into 3" exhaust with Spintech mufflers. 6 pt rollcage. Built Tremec 3550 5 spd. 8.8 rear end with Moser 33 spline axles, 3.73s, Auburn posi, C clip eliminator kit. Coilover shocks in rear. Coilover struts in front. Tubular k member and control arms in front. Aerospace disc brakes front and rear. And much more....lol. I've got a couple little things to do on it before taking it racing. But hopefully I'll get there in a month or so. I found it on craigslist from a kid who took the car on trade and didn't know how much work has been put into it. He gave a shoe box full of receipts from all the parts and work done to it. Dyno sheets from last summer where it puts down almost 400 hp to the rear wheels.

    Will all the suspension goodies and cage, plus the fact it's a manual, that would make a good car for track days more than the drag strip me thinks.

    It's built for going in a straight line....not taking corners so much. You did notice the lack of power steering yes? haha
