whats new group. Im getting back into the street car and drag racing after years of dirt track. So working on finishing up my street toys and was wondering how the grudge racing sceen is around iowa. i got a friend on east coast and its a big time thing there. ive been away from the street sceen for awile "red 82GT with black hood if anyone remembers it" and wonder if there is any action around these parts anymore.

Welcome to the forum! What part of Iowa are you from? Not much of a car scene around CR.

Lets see some pictures of the car. Always loved the looks of the 82 GT's.

Forget the Windsor, put an LS in it!

Saving the 6.0 for the nova project. My fords stay ford powered. But a 4 cam 5.4L sounds fun if they didnt bring such a premium. I have 2V 5.4 i thought about droping in with the msd mod 6 controller and a cheap turbo kit.

I was more or less kidding. Anyway, look forward to possibly meeting you!

2v 5.4 still kick some decent ass for what they are. It should have been the base engine for the mustang.

Welcome.

I buy the company vehicles for scrap price when the buy new truck/van and rotate old out. Theres a 2wd 4.8L chevy tryck and a 05 5.4L van getting close to chopping block soon so if ur wanting a 5.4L ill cut ya hell of a deal.

If you come across a 5.3 from a Chevy I would be interested.
