This morning I saw a 1980 hatchback Mustang, interior useable as is, probably a 4 cyl, for a reasonable price. I will have to see it without the frost to make sure what shape the paint and under carraige are in for sure, but the body looks really good. Just a little surface rust on lower rear passenger fender lip from gravel. I am thinking about putting a 351 based stroker block in it, leaving it whatever color of bronze/ brown it is, good mufflers, brakes, and an 8.8 (or bigger) rear end. Add subframe connectors and rear control arms too, and at least 15" wheels for sticky tires. Who would think a stock looking, 4 cyl., 4 eyes would fly?
Questions 1. I do not know the best auto tranny that will fit in a non-computer controled Fox, but I doubt an AOD would take it. So what auto would go behind the 351 based stroker? I know about the manual options if it has a pedal.
2. This would be a big money pit and I should keep dreaming, right?
