dude just buy a 87-93 fox
its not going completely 87-93 so the cost involved is near the same.
Also I would be converting an EFI car to carb.

It is for the state he lives in according to his profile location.
From what I can tell this will be the first time a car like this has been built. Its just a mesh of different years and touches from different fox bodies that I like.
Do you mind if i ask exactly what your plans are for the car? so far i'm seeing an 80' turned into an 87+, 87+ dash, average LX front bumper cover, LX rear bumper cover, T tops(you're opening a huge can of worms there, i wouldn't even attempt a T roof swap unless you're a very good weekend mechanic or full time collision repair man), etc.. i dont see anything special besides the possibility of it being a T top coupe. IMO keep everything 79-86 and find an 82GT/79 pace car front end for it.. kinda like my coupe

Well this has to be the first time in months I've posted in the 5.0 section. I was gonna go over my setup because I think I may have time to build my car this year. I was having fun and all happy go lucky and then I see this crap. Crap. This thread is crap.
Do yourself a favor. Go buy an LS1 and put in the car because the intake and throttle body are both restricted in that car. Then then upgrade the front nose because the 4 eyes catch soooo much more air than the aeros do. And finally the interior. God those little light up car management areas around the radio are sooooo 80's. And then there's the radio. You could probably fit at least one 12 in the back unless it's a vert. And there's the 15 inch rims (or the metrics in 83-84 and I think earlier) and they obviously suck. So change those. Cobra R's are what you should use. And make sure and change the spoiler or luggage rack or lack there of to a wing for down force. Make sure to add ground effects.
Then you will have a chevy powered early 80's POS that was rescued by you and it will handle and look the way it should have. Those engineers in the 80's were morons anyway so don't feel bad.
Good luck,
