NEED HELP! WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

[SMOKEDYA]

I picked up a 97 escort for free. Needs a hood but runs excellent has A/C and 110xxx miles and i got 100miles already on a 1/4 tank of fuel.For it being an escort it actually has some pep to it. I also have my 92 coupe 4 banger full power and A/C but the A/C pump is out.The 4 banger also has a 8.8 with possi and 355 gears out of my buddies 89 5.0,steeda alum rear lower controll arms,a fairly new t-5 with a pro 5.0 shifter,brand new stock clutch and fly wheel,centerlines wheels, lowered, a rear sway bar off a 90 GT (4 bangers dont come factory with sway bars in the rear) it has 138xxx miles runs good but isnt as peppy as the escort beleive it or not!So i need opinons on witch to sell! I got the escort to fix and turn it or my DD 4 banger coupe to put a turbo on my 93 SSP coupe. Here are the pics 0f the 2 cars

keep the stang! or at least part it out

 

[tannerc91gt]

It's all about the gas mileage, if the racecourt gets better gas and you already have a stang then I'd sell the 4cyl, there's always people lookin for coupes for 5.0 swaps

keep the stang! or at least part it out

yeah but i really dont want to part it out. or do you mean parting it out by removing all the mods? and going back to stock? peace

Shop it around with the mods and see if someone buys it to swap a 5.0 into it.

If it doesn't sell, put it back to stock and sell it as a stock 4-banger and then sell off your mods.

For a DD, i'd take the escort. You already have a fast Mustang, so why need two? That way it lets you focus on modding the one you have an all you do to the escort is put gas in it

I would sell the stang and keep the escort

 

[5.0Droptop]

sell the free car and keep the stang..

 

[Makdaddymac]

man this is tough, your 4 popper stang is cleaner than most 5.0's......imo i would keep the stang. you never know what could happen and what is more rare. a clean ecobox escort or a clean coupe? 5.0 or not....

 

[Cobra912]

I'll trade you a nice escort for the coupe....................damn too late

 

[LarsD]

I'd sell the scort and keep that coupe. Course I don't like bland dailies either.

 

[SMOKEDYA]

see guys this is a tough call! huh? UGH peace

I would sell the coupe. Seems like a good foundation for someone to swap a 5.0 into. I actually just picked up a 91 escort wagon for 200 bucks which i will be daily driving to school and work. In your case the escort is newer +4dr so I would keep that.

 

[dcurtis]

If I had those 2 cars and had to pick one I would light fire to the escort, that coupe is very nice.

 

[Blandnuts]

Man, I was on top of the world when I had a tracer and my mustang....hint hint

 

[stykthyn]

I dd'd a four banger vert for a while. it got better mileage after the 5.0 swap. sell the coupe

 

[Shaolin Crane]

man if you werent so far i would buy the coupe and do a 5.0 conversion

 

[347_stang]

I don't even see how this is a consideration lol.. sell the escort and keep the fox..

 

[5.0Torx]

keep the fox, sell the free one

 

[SMOKEDYA]

man if you werent so far i would buy the coupe and do a 5.0 conversion

where in cali are you? peace







john

 

[SMOKEDYA]

you guys that say keep the coupe,are you only saying that cause it's a stang?............cause i have a 93 SSP also thats just as clean if not cleaner then my DD coupe.Like i said in my post the SSP will get a turbo added to the 351 thats already in it! peace
