New to the neighbor hood

Hey ,, I just got my self an 85 GT , it is sweet , needs a bit of work but nothing I am not used to ,, I have an 84 GT which I got for parts ,, I am wondering if I should go to another newer front end ,, get rid of the 4 eye look and go to a larger plastic light style ,, also what are some of the begining steps I can take to get a little more snap out of it with out spending lots ,, I will put lots into it , just not right now ,, it is a 5.0 with a Holley 4 bbl on it ,, so what is everyones opinion ,, ?? I am lookin for guidence ,,
thanks ,,

If you change the front end everyone will hate you

If you don't like the four-eye, my suggestion would be to sell to someone that does and purchase an Aero-nose for yourself.

 

[nb85gt]

Really why ?? I am new to it .. what is the deal with 4 eye ?

 

[Daggar]

Oh... and Welcome to Stangnet! I'll be your host and Tattoo (we call him Strype) will fetch you a drink.

Don`t do it.Total waste of time and $$$.

If you change to a aero nose you will be smited by me and almost every other stang owner. 4 eyes belong on 4 eyes, aero on aero simple as that, DO NOT DEFACE TEH 4 EYE!!! Seriously.... otherwise welcome to the boards and simple mods can include gears, a short shifter, and exhaust to get you started...

Is this all opinion ,, is it just looks , is that what it boils down too ? preference ? is one actually better than the other ?

 

[SteedaGT9150]

Converting a 4 eye to an aero nose is a sin. Why buy the car if you dont like it?

 

[nb85gt]

not that I dont like it , I think there sharp lookin , I was thinking newer halogen lights would be brighter , and a little more modern ,,

[SteedaGT9150]

if you want brighter lights buy bright bulbs

 

[grey5.0beast]

4 eyes are getting rarer and to change one to an ever so plentiful aero nose should be against the law, one is not necesarilly better, its just fact...

 

[grey5.0beast]

plus with the newer ones, the headlight lenses fade, older glass style ones don't turn yellow. so in time the aero would get less bright...

 

[nb85gt]

point taken ,, I will keep it 4 eye , and never change it ,, LOL ,,, what more can I do beside gears , shifter , I have dual exhaust ,I need headers though ,,

 

[SteedaGT9150]

headers, midpipe, pullys, subframes

 

[nb85gt]

Is it better to build or buy sub frame connectors ?? and should I convert the V-belt to serpentine?
