I personally am a fan of the clevelands.
Before I had a life changing experience in the late 90's
I had a 87 coupe with a 72 ho flat top from a torino with 70 4v closed chambered heads and 5speed.
It was not the fastest car around but was a whole lot of fun!

This whole thread sounds like FUN raised to the 3rd Power!

Car is being final sanded and should have paint in the next few weeks. Engine and trans is together, headers delivered but need to be coated. I need to install the new rear, springs, shocks and control arms.

sg86coupe February 24th 2014, 8:42 pm

which trans are you running and why did you pick that one?
My t5 is about to dye, trying to decide what trans to get.

dfree383 February 24th 2014, 10:39 pm

It's got a 93 cobra t5 for now. Should live as it's on street tires and it's a low compression 351c 4v engine

I'm running it because I have it and I'm being cheap.

dfree383 April 7th 2014, 6:01 pm

Awhile back one of the Mustang mags built a car and used those wheels but they had the rear ones widened which was super cool!! I can't wait to see your car on the road!! Again a very sweet car! Very Happy
