proud new owner of a 1989 mustang lx 5.0 coupe

[KingBlack]

picked it up a few days ago and the vin tags are in place, body id PERFECT doors dont sag, not twisted etc....the interior is gutted and im pulling the body panels next wseek to have it sand blasted. gonna drop in a k member and more than likely coil overs....will post pics soon.

ive got a afr headed 306 but seriously considering a 347 or 408...if i can get 20mpg highway with a t56 on the 408 then thats what im going with...let me know if you guys have any suggestions

I have an afr 306 too, and while she runs pretty friggen good, one of the biggest mistakes I made was not at least building a 331/347 stroker.

yeah good point. research tells me that the suspension and k member will make full usage of the 306, but also take advantage of its extended powerband being it runs a victor efi intake kooks 1 7/8 header and jesel valvetrain

20 mpg with a 408 is very nice. You got any pics yet?
