Sorry about that. Thought I mentioned I was throwing a V8 into the car in a previous post.

But yeah, originally a 1989 LX 4-banger notch. I'm buying it with a V8 k-member (not even sure if there is much difference over the original 4-banger unit), '90 302 short block (may or may not be blown), and a decent stock 8.8 rear out of a '93 GT. Everything not vital is already stripped out of the car. It was too good of a deal to pass up.

Exactly what I was thinking. Not necessarily streetable, but if you've got a stripper muscle car and want to go REALLY fast at an autocross... it is the way.

350+ hp, weight stripped to 2600ish, 12" wide slicks on all 4 corners... and always breaking something.

There is coolness there. I think E-Mod has always been my favorite. Creativity and big power run wild there!

Sorry Leonard, Cobras running in AP just don't excite me. Maybe when yours is done it will change my mind.

Most CP cars are actually still over 3000... of course, that's still usually 300 lbs less than they were when they started.

The weight limits for some of the cars is much lower, but things like the big 12" slicks, fuel injection, and others add weight peneltys.

Ok...last two stupid questions:

The rules are a bit vague, so here is my assumption. A 3-link torque arm and panhard bar setup is not legal on a Mustang running in SM...right?

Lets say I put a motor from an entirely different manufacturer into my car. Where would that put me?
