Ok, im new here, but looking to get some info, im supposed to be going to buy a 86 GT tomorrow for 2500, body and paint are in good shape, interior needs a little but its no big deal, it has a 302 bored 30 over 24 lb injectors, mild street cam, headers,msd coil and 6al box,mass air flow conversion, cold air intake, 65mm throttle body new t-5 transmission with king cobra clutch kit short throw shifter new tires and brakes on all 4 wheels new paint 373 richmond gear also has off road h pipe with 2 chamber flowmasters

is this a good combo on the 302? im thinking this is going to be a decent ride, and what else should i add to it once i get it because the way i am i never stop adding things or working on my cars

its an 86, $2500 he was asking 3500 though, forgot to ask about how many miles, only thing that i will have to fix is the dipstick, he said it wasn't seated right and leaks a little right there, but thats an easy fix so im not worried about that.

other than the things already on the car what would be the next thing i should do without spending 3k on a supercharger to get more power i was thinking maybe a intake and a little later a set of heads

Yea i like the 4 eyes better, i think the front ends on the 86 GT are the best looking front ends of all the fox bodies

Oh no, it's tooooooooooooo late for that. You sir are scarred for life.


As for the OP. Lots of combos and lots of power to be had. Congrats on your purchase. I love the four eye cars.

Nevermind the mods. Mileage should have been the first thing you asked.

That's pretty low for an '86. I think.
