Mustang 92' LX Questions / 83' For Sale Cheap

[wildneg]

Well, my question comes from a purchase I'm about to do. I have a 83' Mustang right now I paid a lot of money for. I don't know if I got ripped off or not. It seems pretty damn fast, and I just can't seem to keep it cool so an every day driver isn't going to be made out of this car. Everyone says its the block, that it was bored to far over? I really can not tell. Some of you might remember me from before always trying new things on keeping it cool.

Well, I have a 351 Windsor sitting in my garage. I have not sent it out to get anything done with it yet. My guess is, I'm going to get it all cleaned up and have them stick a 408 stroker kit in it. I'm guessing as a everyday driver, that shouldn't be to bad either? And I want to either convert my 83' into Fuel Injection (Holly System Max System?), or buy one semi stock or all stock and build up on it?

My question comes, should I keep the 83' and build up? Its probably not emission passable, has no heat, everything was stripped out, its geared only for racing. So this probably is not a good everyday driver. Its carb'd too. So there is a lot of things I would have to do. Upgrade to fuel injection, put in heat, all the controls, and motors for the heat. Rerun some hoses from the radiator, and so forth.

I have a guy that will sell me his (He bought it, insurance is way to much). Its a red 92' LX pretty much stock from what he knows. There are about 130k miles on the engine. I am going to go test drive it today and see how the tranny is. That will be rebuild regardless. With a heavy shift kit.

This 92' has everything on it and is emission passable no doubt. Would it be easier to upgrade the 92 -> 408 stroker with the holley injection kit, or the 83? I would just like to have a nice driveable street machine beast.

I even know a guy that has a Novi 1000 that he is willing to sell me cheap. I'm hoping to start this, and be done before summer again. I am going to take $200.00 from each paycheck to try getting all this done. We'll see how it goes.

But for anyone interested in buying my 83', its for sale. I'm selling it AS IS. The body is in nice condition, its a factory 83' T-top'ed mustang LX hatchback. It just gets hot and never cools down once you drive. I have tried everthing. You can have it all as is. I bought it for $6,500, willing to basically sell at what ever cost. Hopefully at least the amount the 92' is going to cost me. It is beef'ed up and is pretty damn fast. The 92' is going to be costing me $2,600. Anyone really interested can e-mail me kevin@chs.com or call me (708) 822-7733. I will be more then happy to put up pictures of anything you want a pic of. Underside, inside, moter, wheels, frame, etc. Thanks!
