I have recentley purchased a 1987 Mustang Gt like I had told you all earlier. Here in a list of what I have for it so far.
D N' D motorsports 331 stroker W/
forged rods, forged pistons, forged crank, ARP studs, high volume oil pump, canton oilpan kit, custom cam and lifters, manley pushrods, Holley Systemax upper and lower intake manifold, 76mm mass air meter, 70mm throttle body, egr and spacer, ford racing valve covers 24lb injectors, msd distibutor, 3pc march pulley kit, Mac cold air intake, polished water pump, energy motor mounts, spark plugs, ford racing spark plug wires, mass air conversion kit
Tremec TKO600 5spd manual transmission
3.73 gears
short throw shifter
energy transmission mounts
Headlights clear corners w/ stock replacements

The part I need some advice and help on is suspension
Then I can start interior which by the way I need some opal grey stock replacement seats mine are broke they lay all the way back and I just want some stock replacement ones they dont have to be perfect but they have to be decent. Thanks guys -Ryan

depends on if you want road race suspension, drag race suspension or street suspension..there isnt a huge dif but would help you do descide on parts..

for the rear:lakewood traction action liftbars and lakewood upper control arms eibach drag launch springs and 50/50 drag shocks and for the front tubular k member a arms and coil overs with 70/30 struts this is if you want drag race

any heads????? and why do you have a forged crank in a stock block??

mustangman87 · September 13th, 2007, 06:36 AM

Yeah I have aluminum heads and Its not a stock block sorry it's a dart block

ryans88gt · September 13th, 2007, 05:16 PM

I think you should drive it around on the stock suspension for a while so you know what you will be missing...

Lakewood lowers are OK, but you'll need to reinforce your torque boxes if you plan on doing any hard street driving. They don't allow much torsional movement and will eventually cause the lower boxes to break. It'll hook up in a straight line though!
