My silly ideas:

Volvo 2.9 Turbocharged I6

or

Ausie 4.0 Turbocharged I6

Plus a T-56 6speed

I am acspoogeulating parts for a car I do not own and do not know when I am buying as of yet. I am thinking of stuff to do to the future white 88 XR7 like black or 20th anniversary wheels, black grille, black and or gold striping, rear wing dark tint, HO upper intake, and maybe a T5 conversion.
2003 Marauder 300B
1996-97 Cobra wheel straight but weathered (For Sale)
84 TC manual shifter handle no  (For Sale)

BTW, I had a 1988 T-Bird Sport way back when. I found out that it was totalled shortly after trading it in. It still has the ignition switch recall to date.

Special thanx to EricCoolCats for showing me to this site.:bowdown:

I think that prism-patterned tape you can put on the window trim would look very sparkly on my car, once I get it painted. I also think a nice graphic for the back window and a graphic kit on the sides would give it that white trash look I'm going for. I may not be able to resist rhinestones around the door handles.

Stupidest thing I ever considered was buying a moonroof equipped Sport. Gave me a big hard on when I first found it...now I absolutely detest it, pretty much the whole f*ckin' car  me off.

#2 would be tearing it all apart, throwing a HO, T5, and TC 8.8 into the rather gutted shell, driving it just enough to crave even more power, and then not having ANY motivation, time or money to finish it.

Yup, gotta love a 20+ year old car that nobody other than ourselves like, that has little to zero aftermarket support, and is pretty  lame compared to today's automotive art.

Where can I find another Fox??? ;):rollin:
'84 Mustang
'98 Explorer 5.0

The T5 swap....without changing the rear gears (2.73). I dont know but im 51% sure that the car can pull his heavy ass at 1500 rpms at higway speeds (60mph)......i never seen a Fox body car with a T5 and the 3.8....

Thats whats currently in my cat, only with a 5.0 H0.  Its a dog at low speed but can still bark the tires.  Cruising on the freeway is a breeze.  I have a 8" w/ 3.73s in the garage that I never finished building.
My car is a gravity hybrid.  The gasoline engine gets me up the hills, and gravity gets me down.
