I'm Back!
 
Hello again!
I parted ways with my 87 a few years ago and really have missed it. I recently picked up a 97 GT automatic. Got it cheap as it had a dead cylinder from a bad water leak from an intake swap.
And it came with a bunch of goodies!
I'm in the process of installing a 2003 PI engine into it with longtubes and that will fix up the running issues.
Here's a part list of what the car has going for it.

BBK cold air intake,
BBK 75mm throttle body,
BBK Pulleys,
unknown brand of ceramic coated longtube headers,
BBK non catted 2.5" xpipe, I have to mod it to get it to fit the headers.
Flowmaster 40's into 2.25" tailpipes,
Granatelli Fuego tuner,
3.73 gears,
Tokico struts/shocks and lowering springs,
Bullitt style 17x9 and 17x10.5 rims,
Slotted rotors with Hawk pads

I have no idea what to expect for power or what I may get in the quarter so if you have any idea what I can be looking forward to chime on in!

I got the car for $500, engine for $400 with the mentioned longtubes and a Meziere Water pump. ( No idler on it and I haven't figured out how to make it work with my serpentine setup.) $300 for the rims and a good pair of 285/40 17 for the rear. Altogether I have way less than $1500 into it and I haven't had to buy anything besides the mentioned parts, my time and oil for it! \

Its good to be back!

Hey! When you're a newborn you can't talk... it just took me a while to learn how to type! (Yeah that's it)

Ok you guys will be getting tired of hearing this but... I'M BACK AGAIN! Retook possession of my green 97 that I traded off on my diesel F350. Now I have the Diesel and the Mustang! It got ridden hard and put away soaking so I have some work ahead of me and yes it needs a new engine all over again. Nice to post something on here and not be a lurker.
