Ford vs Chevy Build-up
 

Just about to pull the trigger on a 1990 Mustang GT convertible, 302 auto. Any glaring reasons not to pursue this? Natural class will be O/SA with a factor of 220hp. I'll be pulling the trailer behind me in the morning to go look at the car...if it's in decent shape it may be following me home. I'm open to all critics or supporters on this one.

Lord, look at my post count...this is not the sign I was looking for lol. :eek:

Just found an even nicer '89 model for less money...less weight and lower hp factor too! :D

Definite supporter here. Nice looking car. Did it follow you home ?

HandMan,

building a convertible body is the next best thing to a removable bed:)

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
 

Hmmm...something looks fishy...a chevy guy saying he's going to build/race a ford and his post count is the sign of the devil....coincidence????

LOL!!!

That's just proves you're coming from the dark side to the "right side" LOL!

So..did it follow you home?

That is crazy isnt it lol! I'm just trying to make certain this is a viable combination before I take the plunge...on paper it looks like I could get one of these cars to run well under the index (13.15) for far less money invested in our '67 E/SA Camaro.

The '90 model is located nearby...the '89 model pictured above is somewhat further, but it is completely unmolested and original and cheaper to boot ($2500 obo). The '89 has a slipping trans, but that is of no concern to me...I have yet been able to contact this party tho.

The only pic I have of the '90 is this interior shot...this car has a blown airbag, but no wreck involved supposedly. Again, this would not concern me as it would be deleted anyway. Of more concern is the shape of the body as that is where the real work would be for me with either car.

Jump in, the water is fine...................far less $ than a Camaro and race for the same purse, do the math. You could invest the left over $ in shoe polish, you will need it!!

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
 

Still unable to contact the party with the '89. Headed north right now to view the '90.

85 was the last year for a carb in these cars, Are you thinking Stock or GT? The 85 302/210 can run a 4bbl. The Blueprint sheet says "F/H" which I think is Ford/Holley.

Stay with the Camaro ... you are so close to racing. The Muscrat would be starting from $cratch !

Re: Ford vs Chevy Build-up
 

He's a build addict looking for a new project now that the Camaro is about done (again). As for cost, go back through this thread. The Chevy has broken some big bucks parts that aren't supposed to break like Moser rear ends.
