[QUOTE="ford5.0forlife, post: 12058738, member: 42428"] Not the threadjack original poster, but that's just my personal opinion. I'm slighted because my fox has always been a nightmare car. Still is. Last year it took me 4500$ just to get it running after it sat for 2 years with just needing a trans. I bought the Maro for 3000$ so i didn't care the trans went on the way home. (Don't race in higher gears like someone said, took out OD and 3rd with it) You can't get a foxbody in decent condition for under 5k now like you used to. Plus even with a N/A 302 based motor you aren't showing up bolton fbodies. Of course you could put a block splitting 700+lift 347 stroker, but realistically Fbodies are the best bang for your buck now mostly due to the buy in is now even or cheaper than fox's (at least in this area). Fox's are still cheaper to build, but you can't find a good condition one around here for less than 10k. The reason the car is more fun is instead of waiting for something to break like a fox (again, just MY opinion), you can just wait for oil pressure, and beat the crap out of these motors. And if you've ever driven a healthy stalled auto car on the street, the 1st downshift at 30mph is truely satisfying. My stalled auto mild H/C 331 88gt was more fun than my stick 357. [/QUOTE]
