Thread: What do I want to do with this 63 FALCON?

Tweet

And I was going to voice an opinion for a Fox Body donor... It can be rather cheap to do, give a good amount of power but still get decent mileage and if she doesn't like it, You can get out if it cheap and easy.

I think all of us would vote out the spool. Only one place to use that, on a dragstrip. I wouldn't even sweat posi at this point. Give her something to try before you go in to deep.

I agree with all this sound advice so far... Sounds like it is pretty much where I think I want to go with it. Might put a mild cam in it to help it lope a little and sound meaner than it is. Throw a chain through the hood so her brother and nosey little boy friends cant get in to fiddle with it. LOL There good kids, they just have to fiddle with things they know nothing about... makes me nuts. Now if it was a rice burner it would another story!

Think I will pick up one of these Fox Body Mustangs in a few weeks and see where it goes. So what do ya think auto or 5 speed?

My son who grew up with a hot Fox body Mustang convinced me that the takeout OEM 5 speeds are mostly grenades waiting to explode. Just about all of the were driven hard by kids who were big on abuse, and once overstressed they stress crack and continue to degrade. If you're going takeout package the 302/AOD is a nice package, and a shift kit really tightens them up a bunch.
