Greets all!
I've been browsing here for a few weeks now and just recently bought a silver '85 GT. This is the third fox and second four-eye I've owned (without a doubt my favorite front end)...I REALLY miss the '81 Ghia 4 banger coupe I had back in the early 90's and just wanted to get back to simplicity.
It took a little while of searching, but I finally found this carb'd mustang with manual everything - needs a few things...dash pad, new guages (I'm replacing cheap aftermarket guages with Autometer Elites) but waiting for MC-Machine to get more two vent panels.
Otherwise, from the PO and what I could tell, currently has 3.73 gears and LS (haven't lifted it yet to see if it's an 8.8, but the LS leads me to think so), Weiland Stealth intake, electric fan and electric fuel pump - didn't these have a manual pump originally? No boss for manual on timing cover so I'm stuck with electric Previous owner said the engine was rebuilt less than 100 miles ago - tend to believe it as all gaskets look new from what I could tell. AC has been removed and I plan on removing the PS for a manual rack one of these days.
Oh well, enough about this for now, it's good to be here, looks like a lot of great info on this site!
