    'vert top frame swap

    I'm replacing by convertible's top, frame, motor, everything. The car is an 86 GT. The new stuff will be coming from an 88 (I believe), but if it is later will it still fit? I know they changed the design slightly. The main thing I need to know about is how to swap the frame out. Thanks in...

    Engine build opinions

    I'm rebuilding my engine this winter and plan on getting some new goodies. The 5.0 has probably around 100,000 miles on it (not sure because the speedometer&odometer were broke for a long time, and just broke again). The block and crank are in great shape in my opinion, and I had it verified...
