    Thinking about geting a fox 5.0

    I'd pick 5.0L over DSM any day of the week, unless we're talking about wet-pavement 60' times lol... I have a pretty quick DSM ('90 Eclipse GSX), and it's been decently reliable, but there are plenty of horror stories. Not too hard to get into the 12s with a good driver and little money...

    AWD fox?

    clutches aren't as easy on AWD cars. I sold my Mustang a few years ago, and just got an AWD Eclipse recently. AWD is fun for a little while, and fun in the snow. That's about it. I had 10X as much fun in my Mustang than I can in my eclipse. It understeers like a FWD car, even with a decent...

    Shopping list for 2.3-5.0L Swap...?

    I'm picking up a 2.3L mustang that's in great shape soon, to do a 5.0L swap on... I already found a complete engine with harness, ecu, etc, and an AOD tranny (which I'm selling when I pick it up. The car is a 5-speed, and I'm putting a T-5 from a 5.0L in it's place...) the engine also comes...

    Thoughts About White Fox Body's?

    Yeah, white the dirt and stuff doesn't show up as bad. makes a good DD color. I had an oxford white '88 NOtch, and my fav color for Mustangs is white now.... Doesn't attract police attention, either
