Good god. 8 or 9? Damn hoarders

I wonder what the a9l market is going to do in the future with all the great aftermarket Controllers out there now.

Well... so far we've accounted for the tubular gt40 intakes and now the missing A9Ls.

I told you guys it wasn't the Russians.

until they are truely plug and play, there will always be a market. Even your simplest MS setup requires some special know-how.

Even if just for concourse restorers. True attention is really beginning to get paid by collectors. We are here to observe the "snap" between throw-away cars and "holy chyt, we need to hold onto that one".

Recall what happened with the Nova and that car didn't reach even a 10th of the Popularity of the Fox.

In the end, I think we will have a much larger number of nice examples (restomod or otherwise) versus previous Mustangs. Not just because of production numbers but because it seems like folks are collecting more and earlier.

Hi All,
I have a an ‘88 5.0 LX 5speed.
Still sporting the original speed density computer.
Can I install a stroker short block using stock or upgraded heads while using the stock cam and still keep the stock injection and computer? Anyone done this and is it worth the effort?

I use a Microsquirt with my 347, and it’s tuned using speed density. I ditched my whole MAF system on my ‘89, and the Microsquirt is only $499. You have to splice 3 wires for a Bar sensor, and the rest is plug in place of the stock ECU. Super simple.

Many years ago I decided I wanted to get a 70-72 Nova. I searched for over a year before deciding it wasn't worth it.
