Wassup people, I have a 1982 LX Mustang that I'm restoring. I coverted it to the 87-93 GT model and I'm just about ready to drive it regulary, but I kinda have a problem. I have the rare inline six engine that i kno absolutely nothing about. It runs good now, but I want it to have a little bang to it....what should I do??

That engine is not rare. There isn't alot you can easily do to it. There is a member here that has some experience with these engines but I can't remember his name. The intake is cast as part of the head so you will need to do fabrication to run anything other than a 1 barrel carburetor, there are camshafts available and there are companies that make a header for it as well. Nitrous is always an option too.
