You're right. Never thought of that one, and it is the most obvious. Pick up a four cylinder car because they aren't run to death like the v8 cars, and the torque boxes won't be ripped out from hard launches with sticky tires.

We bought our '84 Capri for $ 125.00 and the body was mint, (some girl had owned it) but the engine was blown. Nice thing about these cars is that every 302 part bolts right in, as the platform is the same on 4's and v8's.

Glad you called my attention to this most obvious choice.
