just picked up an '85 LX. not in too bad of shape, needs a restoration, but shouldn't be too bad. py paint job on it, but it pulls hard, so I am happy with it. Going to convert it to '90 style and add my DECH kit and saleen wing and 4" cowl hood.

First thing I wilol do is get a nice Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake and carb, then true duals, (1 5/8" headers/2.5" off road H pipe with flowmasters)
!! Why do you find such good deals! What did it cost ya?
OMFG I want your Motor!! I have the same style, I want HO! Do you need some quarter windows from an 89? I have a set.
No I have an '88 5.0L parts stang here, but I will be keeping the quarter windows in it.... I think... dunno yet...
Dam ron, why do you keep waisting your money on rustangs????
Let's get that cougar out of the 155hp range.
Because I keep making HUGE profit when I flip these things.. LOL, I made an $1,800 PROFIT on the '86, which is what I used to buy this thing. I will fix it up, with as little cash nesascary and flip it again, for a (hopefully) bigger profit, then we will be adding a bunch 'O power to the cougy.
PS, I KNEW you wouldn't agree with it LOL.
Another Fox? Man are you addicted or something?
That looks like a very solid car. I'm impressed by the condition of the interior. I wouldn't mind owning that car at all.
Keep it 4 eye for gods sake. If someone wants to buy a 87-93 style stang, theyll look for an 87-93 stang.
Agreed, keep it 4-eye!!
thats what i say. but it's your car
Well at least your gonna sell it,that makes more sense.
Good idea if you can get them for cheap.
Looks like it would make a good beater DD rustang. LOL Even those 4 eyed stangs look good. . Nice buy. it isn't a bird or coug but it is a FORD and a FOX at that.
man you guys are as bad as the guys over on GTAMC.com. They are FLAMING ME like crazy because I am converting to the aero style front end...... PRICELESS!!!! :evilgrin:
Hey look at you Sleepertbi...... er RJ! Looks nice man. 4 eye FTW though ;)
Nice score, LX 5.0s are relatively rare in those years
btw, aero on 4 eye FTL
what the hell does
FTW
and FTL mean? :dunno:
lol
FTW For the win
FTL For the loss..
Yes stupid, very stupid. But I admit I used it !
RJ you go through cars faster then I can have a chance to see htem.. wtf man? at least gimme a chance to see these cars! LOL
haha, well best get up here when I post new additions. They dont last long. LOL.
This one might though. It is fun to play around with, and it hauls ass. Forgot how to tinker with a carb LOL.
I just bought a 88 hatch today,maroon,grey interior,4cly auto,soon to be (2.3 turbo,5spd) bought a wrecked 88 tc also. So what happens when you put both together, fun,fun,fun.
Ok guys you can relax now, the car is staying four eyed. Had a local guy PM me with a front clip off of his bro's '85 GT, so I am getting it and will have fog light holes... Just ordered an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake for it from summit too....
You don't waste time playing with the new toys do ya bro?
well as the saying goes.... Money talks and BS walks. I gotta make this faster then my buddies '86 just to prove a point to him. He thinks EFi is the ultimate thing and carbs suck, so I wanna hear him say that when we line up and I put a few lengths on him. I already think it can do it, but I wanna be sure. Took him for a rip the other day, and he was VERY impressed with the way it pulled, so that is a good start. His is stock with a 93 motor transplanted into it.
So it is getting the brand new Edelbrock Air Gap intake, New Barry Grant 750 carb, just scored a complete flowmaster exhaust system this morning, then a set of 4.10's and my SFC came in last week, just gotta install em. Gotta ripper shifter here for it.... yada, yada. LONG list to go. I am aiming for the 12's with this one.
a 750cfm carb is WAY too big for that motor, unless your putting on bigger heads(i.e. tfs, afr, edelbrock) and more compression. that motor doesnt have enough compression to make that kind of airflow.
Thanks, but I already know that. hell a 650 is even overkill. and yeah I do plan on adding heads and a cam soon too. If I can get the same price on a 650 BG carb I will be getting it instead. this carb was advertised on sale so since I plan to upgrade the motor anyways, might as well go bigger for the mods I have planned. The car wont be seeing the road till next summer now anyways, so at this rate I should have the work done to it that it needs, for the carb.
