Got a new ride. 85 mustang.

[Nalleywhacker]

Well got rid of the supra a little bit back and picked up this 85 mustang. havent even driving the car yet towed it to the house and tore it apart lol.

Here's a little vid of it running before i took it apart. as you can see the first thing i did was take the wing and the sticker off the back glass.

306?? 302 + bigger heads = 306? nice find, but i bet the rear tires have as much traction as bacon on teflon now. love the sound of the throaty v8's! i miss my firebird now

 

[CajunKenny]

Did I hear rod knock or just valvetrain noise because of the low idle?

I lent a hand on a Group A race team back in the day that ran one of those

1jz swap!!!!! Lol, j/k. Nice looking mustang, i have always liked the look of the 80's mustangs, maybe because my mom had a 5.0 Capri back in the day. Good luck with the car, it would be sweet to see it on some spray.
