Hey /o/ I recently bought a 1988 mustang LX roller (no motor no trans) off of craigslist for $950. Any recommendations on what drop in for the tranny and engine, as well as what do with the car in general? Also recent craigslist buys thread.
5.0 coyote and t-56
Drive it on the Fury road and be witnessed.
since you dont mention your budget Im going to assume youre on a tight one
351 or 5.0 from junkyard (whichever is cheaper for you)
T5 trans
heads cam and intake
Id go drift missile/hoonmobile myself but eh
>>14782693
How would I go about turning it into a hoon mobile?
>>14782702
Be a man and put a big block in it
>>14782702
well thats just a vehicle that you use for burnouts skids and all kinds of fun stuff
its relatively light
rwd
and a v8
its basically there already
Id go with a low geared LSD rear end
>>14782648
Thinking of buying this
>>14782693
Wouldn't he just grenade a T5 if he ever started making any power/hooning?

You know that this will have been driven hard right?
Only do this if the boat you have to trade has been previously sunk...
Got this baby for $1200
>176k miles
>Lot of little dents
>Dented rear bumber
>broken tailight
>Top is ripped
>Paint is oxidixing
It runs great though
>>14782693
This right hurr. Rebuild it before to goes in with a good cam, slap an Explorer head on it then a Chinese bolt on turbo kit then blow it up and do it again.
>>14782748
>put a big block in it
Sure would fit easier than that modular garbage.
>>14782648
do something different m8.
t5, lsd, fat sway bars, etc all the normal
but put in a volvo b5234t, 5 cylinder turbo, build it a bit before you put it in
motor can be found fairly cheap, heaps of aftermarket, and extremely unusual
>>14782648
Did you get a clean title?
>>14783757
>paint is oxidizing
FIX IT YA LAZY CUNT
>>14782648
I'd say a same generation 5.0, swap the heads, cam it, swap the intake manifold, straight pipes and let 'er rip. Foxybody mustangs and their respective engines have great aftermarket support, stick to the KISS method and hoon your lil' heart out, champ.

Same conclusion. There's your answer.
Keeping it all stock

4.9L inline 6 from an F150 with twin turbos, bolted to a TR-6060. American answer to the Mk. 4 Supra.

DAT PAINT JOB
>>14783757
That's a pretty damn good deal if it's not rusty. I picked up my rusty 1990 Legacy hoon mobile for a grand with a myriad of problems
>>14783540
Properly drove it like he stole, or trying to blow engine.
>>14782648
26B is the only answer
>>14783855
Why would he swap in a Volvo 3ngine, a huge and very difficult project when he could put in a 351 without even changing the mounts?
>>14783553
Meh. You can break them if you try but they only cost like $50 and you can swap one in 15 minutes.
fiat / bertone x1/9
just picked it up for $800. relatively rust free & rebuilt motor.

You probably could have had a running foxbody for 1200, why would you pay 950 for a roller
