1988 Ford Mustang LX Hatchback 2-Door Additional Info:

Here we go! So i never got a chance to put this bad boy on the road. I recently lost my job, and I have to start doing away with some luxury project cars. This car started as a 4 cylinder and I did all the major upgrades that any mustang or muscle car lover would drool over! THis car hes been Garage kept since I started the modifications. I have kept ALL the receipts and documentation of everything modified in and on this vehicle.
Here is a complete list of everything done to the car from day 1:
- Brand new Production 5.0 Engine block casing from Ford Racing
- The engine is fitted with a PROBE racing 347 stroker street fighter internal rotating assembly. Forged Pistons with H beam rods.
- 3.4" stroke Crankshaft
- 7 quart Moroso Oil Pan
- Melling High Volume Oil Pump
- Full ARP studs in Cylinder heads, Crank studs with Reinforced Stud Girdle,
- Comp Cams Camshaft with 5.65 lift intake and 5.75 lift exhaust
- Ford Racing Hydraulic Lifters
- 1.7 Ratio Full Rocker Aluminum Rocker arms
- Dual Comp Cams Springs.
- Cast Iron GT Cylinder heads ported, polished with larger valves (I dont remember the specs) higher compression ratio.

- Brand New headlights and Windshield.
- Original LX Rear Tail Lights. Clean no sun damage.
- Moroso Electrical Mechanical Safety Cut Off Switch Installed and mounted in rear.
There is well over $15,000 invested into this vehicle. It is so close to being track ready. It just needs someone who can give it some TLC and has a few extra bills to clean this monster up. If you have any questions please feel free to ask by calling me at 917-573-0504
