Yes I know we have a Fox body section here but that place it pretty much dead. I know you guys in here have had them in the past or still do. So here goes.
At the end of this month I plan to pick up a friends 92 LX notch. I have always loved them but never owned one. I've owned a Terminator and SN95 Cobra though so I'm not new to mustangs.
I knew about the forged pistons in the OEM engine because back in the 90s my friends used to spray the piss out of em. LOL. Lately I've been reading up a little bit on the platform. Seems the general consensus is the block is the weak spot. Then I suppose the cast crank is next. I am buying a very low miles near stock car. I don't want to make it stupid fast but I would like it to be respectable and quick. I'd like to have it do 120-125 mph trap speeds in the 1/4 mile. Can I get there reliably with the stock block with a turbo or small centri? What RWHP would that take? 400ish?
This was a good read.
