I love the notchback. I get 25mpg with the 2.73's.

Long story with the water. I did not realize I was leaking from like 4 different places till it was too late. After I stopped running it and took it home and opened it. It was bone dry. I was like freaking out that I killed my engine. It was a bad first time at the track. I never really ran it again since.

What's a better daily driver than a '94 6-banger?!! That's just what I'd get while I built up my Fox 5.0L!

3.73's, with a very heavy foot, and cruising at 80mph+ I get typically 22-24mpg on the highway. City is a different story, especially when sprayin it

Why not just find a fox to build up? There gonna be alot involved with converting that v6. I would pick up a notch and build that, and keep that 6 banger for a daily driver until the fox is done. JMO though. Wait, maybe you could pick up a 5.0 notch, take out the 302, drop in the 351, and put the 302 in the v6

Everyone does the 93 and earlier build up. I have everything planned for my 6. This is going to be a super charged 351W AFR heads and either edlebrock or trickflow intake. Here where I live people have 460s and 351's int their 93 and earlier stangs. I want a notchback because I have always wanted a 5.0. How much does a decent 91-93 nitchback run?

Its hard to say man. Down here in south fl theres alot of 5.0's running around, I got mine for 3500, 63k miles. The interior is perfect, hell the ashtray cover still works and all. It has 2 small dents on the door and a small dent in the rear quarterpanel, just before the bumper. It was also painted 2 years before I got it with a B+ paintjob. Overall the car looks great. Marty (Crazy Horse Gt) told me they go for 5500-6k up by him though so ya never really know.
BTW - Sounds like your 6 banger is gonna rock when its done! Good Luck - John

Why not a hatchback? or why a notch? i wanted a hatch but got this notch, im happy with it since it's light, but the hatchbacks just look cool....just wondering, yea down here the notchbacks are'nt as common as the hatch, also one in good condition will run 6000+ here, give or take a 1k.

There is a million hatchs around here and not that many notchs. I like them both. I want a 5.0. I will try and NOT soup it up. Just a shifter and exhaust. What do these run stock? Low 15's?

That's how I started out too. But I believe the coupes will pull out a mid to high 14 with just that. Mine pulled a 14.4, stock.
