    new car

     



    i can't belive im typing this, i bought a ford!!! for $350 i am not whining. 2.3 4 banger 4 speed. already have a 5 speed set up ready to go from a circle tracker who strips foxbodies and bashes them up and prefers the 4 speeds, and sells the t5's. it does need a fender and a little body work to the right rear wheel lip other than that good shape, shock towers are not messed up, front subframe is in good shape as are the torque boxes.

    but a FORD!?

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Resistance is futile, you will all own Mustangs sooner or later


    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

    lol!!!!!!!!! you guys crack me up, i bought it because it was cheap and through my travels have learned a 2300 ford is an indestructable little motor. all the circle trackers around here use there in there 4 banger classes in mustang's, capri's, pinto's , you name it. they take a lickin and keep on tickin.

    i dont buy rice-grinders i buy american used or new i keep it domestic. and besides.........a 347 stroker would be mighty nice in them fenderwells!

    glad to see your feeling a bit more lively pat

    I think you should put a 283 in it.
