'88 Fox with a 403ci engine - ????

The seller says simply "it's a 400 bored to 403".
I found this odd, as 403ci is not commonly spoken of.
He honestly doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about, as when I asked about the suspension setup he simply responded "it's got all kinds of stuff". The most info I got is that it has 3.73's out back. The rest is all spotty info. He bought it 3 months ago from a gearhead. I guess I'll pass on this one.

It's amazing, yet by looking at it, the car seems legit, with a horribly informed seller.
If it's 3.73's there's probably no 9" back there. It's probably still an 8.8 (which is fine). If it's "bulletproof," it's either spooled or lockered.
This car looks like an 11sec. car. I wish this guy had better answers. I miss my 11sec car and I'm looking for something inexpensive to hold me over until I can afford something nicer.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I'm gonna definately pass on this one.

Also, I must confess, I'm not a total Newb to Stangs, as I did own a '93 LX 5.0 5sp (NOTCH! - bought it in '99 from my little bro who was the original owner) and drove it for a year without modding it at all (I wasn't into modding cars back then). The car only had 10K miles on it! Please shoot me!! Hehehehe.
