Yeah buddy no prob-

I believe the auto 85 came with CFI and I know the sticks came with a carb- so if that car has an efi motor in it it is not original.

Also, if it has a 3rd brake light in it then it's an 86 (which is identical) that did come with efi

alright if it was an 85 it would have the CFI-302 v8 right? with around 180 hp?

Correct- And RARE. did it have an air filter on the top of the motor?

 

[85-4eyedfreak]

yeah an it said 302 HO EFI on it i belive

Are you trying to figure out what year it is by the engine?


According to the statistics the '85s (the 5 speed/4V carb versions that is) were down 10hp from the '87+ engines, but there's a billion things you can do for almost free that can easily make up for that.

Filter on top is an 85- Last year of that. Nope. You misread it I bet it said CFI. Look at it again. Was it an auto? Which really doesn't matter cause it could have had a tranny change. My buddy does it with the stangs he buys.

Take pictures of it before you buy it and post them...


We'll save you from any trouble

[85-4eyedfreak]

It may not be very quick but it can be made to be quick, and, 85 - 86 are both "one off" years. I miss my 86 everyday. Definately unique and you don't see many anymore


Just don't go putting a newer model front nose on it

 

[85-4eyedfreak]

oh heck nah thats to much work to put a new front end on it besides i wear glasses an they call them the 4 eyed freak so we will be one happy couple...
but what would u recommend as the first upgrade
