Where is the best place to start? I was thinking 302/auto package... car has a 4.30 gear in it already and a set of Centerline Convo Pros on it.
What would be the best engine/trans combo for this car I do have a bunch of 5.0 blocks and stuff floating around..

The 85 Mustang 302 4 barrel in stick only, you could run an automatic 302 with the CFI fuel injection, but its a throttle body system, not aware of anybody using that setup. A 86 Mustang had multi port EFI, and was available with an automatic, but has a smaller throttle body a oddball, 1 year only cylinder heads and pistons. Even the 85 4 barrel heads are a 1 year only casting.
