Posted June 30, 201015 yr I'm sick of looking for a nice Mark VIII, so I have a few ideas but I can't lean in either direction. I love the G-body GMs, but I'm a huge Ford guy so I've always wanted an 85-87 Regal or 87-88 Cutlass and drop a twin turbo small block Ford in it. You can guarantee it's never been done, and well, I just want to do it.Also been digging the 96-97 T-birds lately, and I'm very familiar with them and their powertrain. Building the 4.6 is relatively simple and cheap, so it would be easy and unsuspecting. . . Or should I just wait until I find a nice Mark VIII that I swear I don't do anything to other than wheels, tires, and big brakes, but I know damn well I am going to go crazy on?Dammit.
June 30, 201015 yr im a mustang fan. since i didnt see f-body on there my gm choice would be a t-type or GN
June 30, 201015 yr Admin Maybe I am getting old and have been driving a big heavy 2-door for too long, but I voted Mark VIII.

I want something uncommon. One of the reasons I sold the Stang. SBF powered G-body, nobody has. Boosted 2V T-birds are out there, but extremely rare. As for the Mark VIII, I've always wanted one, but they are hard to find in good condition.

June 30, 201015 yr I voted for the G-body I've had a 79 regal and a 86 cutlass......wish I never had got rid of them
June 30, 201015 yr Author get a mk3.. supra If I'm going to own an import it will be Italian or German, perhaps British, never Asian.
July 9, 201015 yr Author G-BODY FTMFW!!!Putting a Ford motor in such an amazing car FTMFL!It wouldn't be a T-type or GN, so it's not like I'd be destroying the originality. I see enough LS engines in Mustangs, so it's all good as far as I'm concerned. And I'm a Ford guy, so it has to be Powered By Ford.
