The project has a LOT of potential as an SM car. There's a lot of people who say a Mustang can't do it. I don't know. Most of the naysayers aren't considering anything other than V8 power. That won't cut it for this project because of weight and balance. 2500 lbs and 350+ hp is a 'lot', but that's roughly what the CP guys run (and they're a bit lighter as well). The key is putting enough tire under the car... who thinks 315's/335's will fit on a FOX? I'm thinking I can have the car simi-competative for the 6k Talking about for the Porsche (plus porsche's are SM2 -- ouch! turbo miata's).

My house should be done in a couple of months, so that's when I'll get started.

Craig, where have you seen old foxes priced for that little? It sure isn't in auto trader.....

Anybody know the weight difference between 79-86 vs 87-93 Fox bodies?

Dave, how far out can you bore/stroke the 2.3's?
