Just another mourning message another dead SVO

A 302 is a 302 no matter how you slice it















Then here is the 91-93:




1991-92
16 x 7 inch wheels introduced in '91.
Generally, the '89 through '92's are considered the best for adding engine modifications. The combination of stronger block, MAF, better heads and forged pistons (pre-'85's and the'93's had cast pistons) make these easier to modify and more reliable.

So I'm looking to find a 1991 or 1992 5.0 donor car (something that runs but's been in an accident cheaper )
strip all the electrics and and the motor and tranny (well if it's an automatic because that's what I want) replace all the gaskets and bearings and seals, find an oversize special ring kit(so I can keep the forged pistons) use the ridge reamer and hone the cylinders on the 5.0. Reassemble, Of course I should also clean all the injectors and stuff as well.
and just slap it in the 86 then get an SVO spoiler and hood and find an old style pony and bolt it on the inside of my front and presto I got one unique and powerful mustang. Take the breaks, exaust system, crossmember (or do I have to jack that off an 86 thunderbird or Mustang 5.0 :s) and presto I got my car with one hell of a rebuild that will last for quite a few years
Two reasons I'm doing this
#1 I want to keep my car (it's my first) and I want it to be unique
#2 I figure if I rebuild I eliminate other people's problems out of the equation, which I would get if I just bought a 91 or 92 used that doesn't have the accident damage and just drive it.
Does that sum it about up or am I forgetting something?
thanks
