Taller tires...Comment

tires could be gotten away with. Be careful with tall gears or big air (high hp), the two extremes.
those chassis spanning 70s to early 90s.. need to respect a lot, or be a good welder. Not to get uptight over, that is millions of cars beyond mustangs.
I actually like the mustang v8, they had to concentrate on a lot of cooling, and be economical. A lot of little chassis out there make a home for them.

aod and the 302 in front of it from a late model fox... you can't put decent heads/cam on a 255, bore is so small the valves won't fit. It will feel like a completely different car.

If you two want fast you have the chrysler 300 and the chevy truck. Nothing wrong with the little 255 for driving around with the top down. Did I really say that out loud? Really though it's good advice, non that I could follow but , still good advice.Previously HoosierL98GTAComment
