hoody-hoo im the first reply...
honestly...
i am a mustang fan i had 3 of them back when i was in highschool but i detest the body styling from 74-86.
of course as everyone knows the aftermarket is as broad as for a honda... ford 302 and chevy 350 will prob never fully retire.
i think that a 302 is a good starting point and will prob build another ford someday myself.
but basically i would look for a 87 lx 5.0

jesse NO WAY!

for 1) its an 86. you have to AT LEAST swap on an 87 upper plenum to make it break into the 15.5s

2) its an auto.. yes true the C-4s are more consistent etc.. but it WILL get old.. trust me..

3) 2900 is ALOT for an 86 auto.. you can find a nice 88+ LX with some work for 3000
