Hello all,
I bought an 86 GT with stock motor, trans and rear. The car is stock with approx. 90k miles, car runs well but of course not well enough lol. I want to do some things to the car the way it is to make her run better.
I am starting at the rear and working forward, 4.10 gears and rear-end goin over real good.
Trans/ rebuild/ new clutch 5 speed T5
okay here is where I am getting worried, I have been researching about this motor and speed density, seems I may be screwed lol, what can I do with this motor to get her to run better for now without putting a ton of money in it? AC delete, smog delete, pullies, complete tune-up (wires, plugs, cap and rotor) maybe a MSD coil and MSD 6 box. A good cold air that actually grabs cold air (what is recommended?). Anything else that will make her run better.
Is there anyway to get this machine to run lets say mid 13's to 12.90's or should I start over with a complete different engine and rebuild it with better pistons with reliefs, covert to mass air, better intake, maybe GT40 heads?
Just looking for opinions and people who have worked with these cars and know how to get them to run.
I just bought the car, would like to do a little work now and later completely tear it down, money is also a factor lol.
The more I read the more I think maybe find another motor from a 87-93, convert to mass air and better heads from get go, then I can run a little bigger cam also.
