Local guy is interested in trading me a 86 GT for my 400ex.

I have yet to see it but he claims its clean and ready to run. Just needs a clutch cable supposedly.

Anyways 86 is FI right? Does it have the same EFI as the later fox's? It is speed density correct?

8.8 rear? Or does it have something smaller? What was the HP numbers?

Also what would I need to change it over to a 87+ front end?

yes it is a speed density car. it has smaller heads so it makes 200 ponies. the pistons are not fly cut with valve reliefs. it has a 8.8

I decided to research alittle myself and easily found the answers to my questions.

Besides the front end swap. Which I would probably do. No offense to anyone but I am not a fan of the 86 front end.

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to swap to MAF. Could I tune the SD with Tweecer? Because I may get it soon. Been wanting to do some tuning on my 95.
