I've been wanting a foxbody for a while now and I think that I'm getting my first tomorrow. I'm trading my Harley that I built over the winter for it.
It's an 89 convertible.
In the past week the guy who I am trading with has put a new ignition, dist cap, tires, conv top and a few other things to get it up to par with the bike.
It used to have GT40 heads on it and is now back at stock heads, new exhaust, rhino lined undercarriage and interior under the carpet.
The only thing that concerns me is the trans. The guy told me that the trans was built for that car to take upto 600hp because he had big plans for it. He said that 2nd to 3rd needs to be powershifted or doubleclutched.
He's also giving me a set of welds on tires.
I normally would think that would mean a worn synchro but he says that it has been built like that for the track.
What do you guys think? Any help that you could provide would be great. The last thing I want right now is to be ripped off.
