    All im putting in my car is a 302. Lets see a cleaner engine bay, better handling and steering, oh yea its worth it. You can run any power brake booster you want, dont have to worry about hitting the shock towers. And too if one ever wanted to put a twin turbo setup on it at a later time theres plenty of room for that:evilsmile

    alright well i definitely want to upgrade my suspension but i dont know that i can afford an aje or mustang II cuz the aje is 2400 without brakes and i kind of need brakes... and the mustang II appears to be somewhat spendy too..so any other ideas?
