Hey guys just joined! So Ive got kind of an odd one for ya but I need to know which way I should go. Please dont flame me cause I know the purist 5.0 guys will wince at this one... I am an avid car guy and not a newb, been around cars all my life, Im 28 and know more than your average shadetree mechanic, I like both muscle and imports, and appreciate all cars. So I have a DSM (turbo AWD eclipse) thats in the mid 12s that I drive daily, get 22 MPG town, its great but theyre kinda heavy, my buddies 93 hatchback stang full interior/rollbar is lighter than my 4 cyl, imagine that... so what Im wanting to do is a 4G63 swap into a fox body, mated to an R154 trans. It'll be lighter, stronger drivetrain, I have most the parts, ect. What Im trying to find out now is what mustang should I pick up for this project? Im leaning towards a notchback not a hatchback cause I hear theyre lighter, Im basically thinking the lighter the better, however Im already putting down 400whp and its only gonna go up from there... I didnt know if I should start with a 5.0 mustang or if a 4 cyl one was okay, if so Id rather start with a 4 cyl cause it would be a lot cheaper to get and I wouldnt be butching a 5.0, plus I have friends with 5.0s and have a great access to parts (8.8 rears, ect) I was looking at this one
