    Should I Buy This? 86 Foxbody 5.0

    Hoopty is right. It is best to get something that you can rely on to drive while you are fixing the fox. Even if it doesn't need fixing, at some point you are going to want to upgrade it, and you will need something to drive in the mean time.

    Should I Buy This? 86 Foxbody 5.0

    There is no way to know. I drove my Wife's 67 Mustang 300 miles the day I bought it. It made it, but come to find out later once I got it on a lift it shouldn't have. lol Piece of advice. If you are going to drive an old car, have a AAA account. They have saved me a tow bill more then once.

    Should I Buy This? 86 Foxbody 5.0

    $4K for a stock unmolested car fox isn't a bad deal IMO. I have bought two foxes in the last 13 years. First one was a car that had been modded, returned to stock, then modded again. Second one was about what you describe, had a couple of mods (cat back, hurst shifter, CAI), otherwise untouched...

    So I Drove The Lx On The Street For The First Time In 6 Months (bonus Pics Of New Garage)

    I want to move to 18x9's for more contact patch. It would be nice if I could do 10's, but I am not sure the room is there in the wheel wells.

    Depends if it widens my track width. If so (which I think it will) then it will limit my wheel and tire options. Something I don't want.

    Yeah if I go with the 8.8 it is going to be a pretty basic setup. I am thinking new diff (truetrac or traclok, not sure which yet), 31 spline axles, diff cover. That's about it. Otherwise I'd rather just do a 9". Still weighing the options. I forgot that I was thinking about putting a Cobra IRS...
