    Worst mistake ever in my life!!!!!

    It is not that much of a difference stock for stock as the highest is 225 and the 86 is 200? at least with more torque than the 215hp 270tq 85gt. They are not ideal I will give you that. Stock e7 can be had cheap(maybe not in your parts). I cannot say if porting is worth it or not but if you got...

    engine swap

    I was just looking for an answer. The question...... I understand about the negative issues with the 86gt engine and have a 85 gt engine also. Would it be worth the effort to swap the bootom end of the 86 for the 85 keeping the heads on the 85 and putting the FI and stuff on the 85. So basically...

    Aside from MAC, does anyone make a true bolt on 3" cat back?

    I was going to say same as above unless you plan big hp in the future the 3" is likely to hinder performance rather than improve. A nice mandrel bent 2.5" is all you really need. But there are ones out there, likely pricier but out there. Goodluck .

    Check out the new avatar

    That is one bit of information I had never learned. I wish someone had taught me that when I was about 13. I will be sure to educate all I can in regards to this info. I am glad I read this thread. Going down with one in the brown.

    Help a Corvette guy out... What's faster?

    No one disputed your point. The last comment on the hp ratings change said they started testing "with" accessories. I do remember reading something about 1/4 mile times and the 85 gt carbed was actually said to be quicker. Not that all is true but I remember it caught my attention cause it...

    Got this for free

    Sorry to thread jack but if the above is true, the one from my soon to be gone forever do to rust, 85gt would be up for grabs to anyone interested because my "new" 86gt just happens to have the same one. And good score! Those wheels are tits compared to some of the others offered on these...

    30mpg in the stang, possible?

    As for the "Acetone" users...... if you believe it is working all the power to you but I saw on Mythbusters...yah Mythbusters and they tested various so called "fuel savers" Acetone (in their test) on a carbed mid 80's Cutlass did nothing, zero, zilch, actually may have decreased ( by fractions...

    The new 4 eye!

    As I posted a while back I am the new owner of a 1986 gt. The car is all stock and I bought it to replace my project 85 gt that due to rust issues I have decided it is better to either sell or use it for parts. Anyway I have done my homework when it comes to the 79-93 Mustangs over the last few...

    My "New" 86 GT!

    I am in Hamilton. Due to unforseen events this car may be for sale. I have an 85gt too that was my project, then the 86 was bought with the idea I could save alot of time and effort and part out the 85 as the body requires serious rust repair, more than I can handle. Now they both may need to...

    Well if I was Bob, that $1 bid would take it. As I stated this is bone stock and I plan on some upgrades so anyone with parts that would be beneficial to me and you want to get rid of please let me know.

    My "New" 86 GT!

    I did not mention the price as I wanted to see some ballpark numbers to see if I lucked out on this one. I figure it was a good deal. I paid less than 3k Canadian and then some. I will say the real price after a few people give me a few estimates. Condition wise overall for a 20 year old 5.0 I...

    sweet as hell mustang at the local car show

    WOW 8000hp that IS cool. I bet you could really spin the tires on that car! Does it have a turbo?? It must to make that power. Do you need to run premium fuel for that? I bet it cost lots of money for gas!!! No?? Is it a big block? I bet it is. I thought 900hp was a lot, but 8000? that is crazy...

    where do u work!

    If you want to do physical labor, working with your hands etc (rather than desk type jobs) learn a trade. There are many skilled trade jobs out there that you can take an apprenticeship and earn while you learn. Pipefitters, millwrights, carpenters, ironworkers, boilermakers, mechanics...

I have read at least 5 comments (not just in this thread) tonite saying the threads should be in talk not be in tech....but this IS talk! If the mods have since moved the...

    I just worked 16 days straight 12hrs per day and for the one 7 day period sun-sat i paid $1793 TAX. This is Canada for you, for the total 16 days I paid $3793 in tax alone. But I did take home $5600 cash so I guess I cannot complain.....hell yes I can, the taxes we pay here are ludicrous, plus...

    chrome cobra's? 450 a good price?

    What is wrong with 16" ? Why do you say stay away because of that? I still think that 400$ for nice rims and new tires that can make a huge improvement on the looks of a car is a pretty decent amount to spend.
