Thinking about buying a 89 Mustang

[Goolsbymd]

So im thinking about selling the 06 BMW and buying a 1989 Mustang and start stripping it/adding to it, but I know nothing about racing gassers, anyone know of a good site to study up and do homework on them>

Being that I own an 88 Mustang GT and have done a few mods like 351 windsor bored and stroked to 398 cubic inches, a T56 6 speed, 8.8 rear end with 9'' housing ends. 5 lug brakes with disc brakes all around. I laid down 449 horses to the wheel and 424 ft lbs of torque. I can tell you some local places for me but not for you but there is some national sites that are great also. I also just picked up a 1991 LX notch a few weeks ago.

My sign on name is either skip or skip nay on each site.

Those cars are so popular all you do is search 5.0 and hundreds will come up. I also own a 86 with a few mods ther is some good books to read as well. There is alot of aftermarket available I think it is the biggest aftermarket market for any car. The mustang is very versitile. the first mod would be a cage or at least frame conetors for any type of racing you plan to do they flex enough to crack the wind shield.

I always hang on the corral.net set up very similar to this site, helpful advice, good guys/gals, tech articles.

The 89+ is the way to go b/c they are mass air equipped. Yes, unibody since 64.5. MANY companies have subframe connector kits, frame strengthening packages etc. VERY fun cars.
