any good stang forums?

[projectnitemare]

I'm looking for a good stang forum to find some info on fox body mustangs. I just acquired a 90 LX original 4cyl with no engine or trans in pretty nice shape. I couldn't argue with the price....free. I have a 302/c4 combo I can drop it in right now but I'm looking to go 460. The problem I'm having is I'm used to the orginization of TRS, its kinda hard to find decent info on the stang forums.

i dont really see much info on here really. corral.net has a lot of good info if you search around. 460 is not really a good idea IMO unless you wanna spend a puntload on it

there are millions of them, i used to be pretty active in some, but over winter the ranger has taken priority, and this website is one of the best ive been on.
in my own opinion, the 460/fox combo it kind of overrated. 351 is probably the coolest motor you can put in one. i have a '85 gt, '91 Lx, an '07 and we just sold our 2005 about two weeks ago.(too many, if there is such a thing!) the first thing you probably want to do is brace the crap out of the frame.... subframe connectors(weld in) strut braces and what not, then go from there... if not you will have tons of squeeks and rattles in the car later on.... and it gets annoying!

what do you have? obviously a gt with juice. any details?

I already know the body needs braced pretty well. I'm making my own subframe connectors, torque box plates, ordering strut bar, link bars and so on. Really what I'm after is what stuff is good and what is junk so I know what to make and what to buy. I have pretty much any V8 and trans combo at my disposal. I already have a well built 351 in the Ranger that I know would push a decently setup stang into the low 11s. A similarly built big block would easily accomplish that and the fact that nobody in my area has a BB stang is all the more motivation.

i think jc pony parts is somewhere close to you. some where in Pa. the best place on earth to get parts! i would also look in 5.0mustang and super fords magazine. the first like 10+pages are full of awesome stuff. summit and jegs are pretty good too. i would just stay away from cheap stuff. oh, and shop around! you will find the same stuff from different companies at way different prices! i bought a few parts that the company bought from a nother public company, shipped directly from that store, but over paid about $50.

those gt's were my favorite... the gt40 combo is pretty much what im looking at, in my 85 gt. i want to keep it street and "somewhat" stock. my wifes '91 lx, is going to be a flat out race car(NOT REAL FAST, JUST ITS SOLE PURPOSE).... dont know what were going to stuff in there yet, definatly a small block, 347? we just sold our 2005 two weeks ago, and right now our '07 is the only one on the road!


oh and forgot about mustangs unlimited!!!! very good.

That's CJ Pony Parts (think it is cjponyparts.com)...they are between Harrisburg and Hershey. Was there about two months ago when in te area for work. Picked up a nice set of V8 badges for the 358W Ranger.

Here is another guy in Indiana, PA http://www.mustangmarks.com/ Not much of a website but has a good selection of parts if you call. He's a little goofy but knows his stuff. He even has a mid-80's BB Mustang that's been featured in a couple magazines. His place is about 20 miles from me.
