(Remember, that is how they see it.) However, these are people who aren't going to be drag racing them every week.
Good Luck with your project!
Sorry, I should have made that more clear. Yes, I meant it purely as a value statement. People see the car changed "that much" from original and their imaginations go wild...was it in a wreck? Did it catch fire? Has it been a drag car it's whole life? At least that's what usually crosses my mind and I consider myself to have a pretty good knowledge of mustang values.
There are fewer and fewer of these out there, I just like to see the nice ones at least stay with the FI. At least let me give you this advice so that you dont make the same mistakes I did. Leave the FI fuel lines and as much of the rest of the OE FI parts in the car or save them. It's easy to tell yourself now that you'll never go back so you don't need that crap, but you could change your mind!
