My '85 Turbo Coupe 5.0 Reply #15 – September 10, 2009, 06:34:59 PM I love it man, I do however agree with the many others who are saying you need to at least go to an HO setup. A 5 speed will take this car a LOOOOOONG way. Quote Selected

My '85 Turbo Coupe 5.0 Reply #17 – September 11, 2009, 12:31:32 PM I guess we have similar tastes in cars McFord. I think you're a full frame Torino guy too. I downloaded some of those "After" shots of your bird as my template. I just got a line on the 15" phone dial wheels too so I'm gonna shoot for the same factory look. Cheers. Quote Selected
