Ok as you all know im debating on selling the t-top still. but heres the delimma. ive done everything major to the motor on the 86 except change the heads and cam. but in order to do so i have to tear down the block and get the pistons nothched or just drop in a newer 87+ motor. but i wonder if doing all that work and spending all that money will ever make it faster then my 96 cobra if i were to put the same amount of money into it. so does it sound worth it to go through all that trouble?

thats true. i take pride in saying that I built my motor as opposed to someone who bought theirs. does anyone know where i could get a good 5.0 motor and probably a tranny to?

MPP*formallyt-top50* should have everything you need, give him a PM. I might even be selling my forged internal 331 bottom end soon.

If you enjoy building, find it rewarding, an have the time/money, by all means do it.

If you have other priorities in your life, or lack patience, buy it and have instant fun...

100% gratification that way without the pride though [patriot]
