That nose doesn't look like an 86 nose. I'm not too familiar with teh SVO's but I know it's not an 86 GT nose.

We went out to Lakeland to look at it today. I shit you not, this car is beyond clean. Every Mustang he has is mint and clean (66 convert, 03 Mach, ect ect). It needs a few odds and ends, but not too shabby for an 18 year old fox.

I forget where I saw that SVO (AutoTrader?), but I almost convinced a friend of mine to buy it. Nice car!

There is a new aftermarket aluminum head for the 2.3 Ford. It is $1600 though but hey it will make more power and thats good right?

Yes I believe it was an Esslinger head.

Good news. "Financing" came through. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up before the weekend.

Heh...I don't think I'm going to dive into a cylinder head just yet. The only thing I'm changing in the immediate future is installing a set of either Koni Yellows or Tokico Blues with 1" Eibach progressive rate springs. Then open up the exhaust with a 3" downpipe and single exhaust...and perhaps a MAF conversion and FMIC. But whatever I do, all the original parts are getting stored.


Now my next task at hand is getting rid of the Focus. Once I put it back to stock the stalling problem will go away (it has to be the horrible exhaust leak at the collector, its the only thing I haven't fiddled with yet). So if anyone you know is looking for a newer beater, or a first time car for a teenager or whatever...please let them know. I'm only asking $4900...Blue Book is approximately $5300.
