turbogrill Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) Hi, Someone local to me is selling is caged 4 cyl 1992 mustang race car for pretty cheap ($3900). What would be the correct path to make this a fun and competitive chumpcar? 1. Convert and claim Cobra? I think it gets you to 250pts. 2. Claim the V8 and build it? I think this is at 150pts. So plenty of points for heads and cams. 3. Swap in something else? The starting swap points is 225, not sure what model that is, looks like the swap calculator is wrong. (Has some info) ) Edited December 30, 2022 by turbogrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need an intake as well, so the points rack up. 50 for swap, 25 for intake, 25 for headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, if I ever bought a second car it would be a reliable seat time machine to bring up new drivers. Durable, robust, cheap/plentiful parts, common tire size, low fuel rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
