I'm trying to fix a budget for this thing, I'm up to 6k right now and I'm trying to see if it's really worth it. It's a 1983 Mustang Notchback (or coupe) "L"... It's a 4 banger, manual car and I'm swaping for V8 5-speed and upgrading the brakes and interior a little. Because I can get a real clean coupe for about the same price this 1983 would cost me: http://autohebdo.net/result/detailinfo.aspx?ID=19252914&pgno=2&srt=1

if you are using a 351w don't forget you need swap headers.
