thinking what to do, any input?

[benjammcd]

So i have been thinking of getting a v8 for a while now, i have had 2 other cars i have been working on one was dsm the other was a rx7 i got the rx7 in the 13's was upset after all the work i did to be so low.. then built the rx7 and was equally disappointed.

So i have been looking online and around my town for a v8 i can get into the 12's high or low 13's. Well the reason im here is to see what you guys think about the car i went and test drove today.

87 5.0
E7 heads with almost everything that can be done to them i.e. port polish. And chromoly pushrods by trick flow, 550 lift springs
A/C delete

arp headbolts, new lifters

Typhoon polished intake

pro products 65 mm throttle body

anderson powerpype

pmas 80mm mass air

36 lb injectors

fmu system and 255 fuel pump underdrive pulleys w/ billet ac delete kit, 10 lb pulley

water pump and double r timing chain new

3 core radiator w/ electric fan

worldclass t5 built by southwest gear 3.73 gears, b&m shortshift

Bbk shorty headers and 40 series flowmasters

It has pony wheels with "ok" tread on the tire and also it comes with a set of slicks (mickey thompson et streets) and skinnies on polished welds.


Guy said he ran a 12.9 ( we are at almost 5000 feet here so thats pretty good for around here i am moving though to san Antonio so it should run a faster time there.)

96 cobra
leather 5speed
76 k miles

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

cobra dude!

 

[benjammcd]

only thing is i have been hearing that the 96-98's have been known for a lot of issues and are weak rear end and tranny but thats just from a few friends..

why do you say cobra though?

 

[Cobra912]

87 hatch, notch?

depends what you are planning on doing with it. Fox for racing, cobra for DD

pictures of said vehicles?

 

[wythors]

The T45 is a weak point on the Cobras. The rear end is the same one that is in every other Mustang with an 8.8.

Cobras are a blast. My wife's 96 with a 2.1 Kenne Bell put almost 400 to the rear wheels and started and drove like stock.

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

wait does the notch have a blower?

I would say the 87. It sounds a bit expensive but, it does have quite a few mods. If your looking for a track car its off to an ok start. I would swap out the heads for some AFR's though.
