Are you sure its rio red and not vibrant red? I thought the Rio label didn't start until 96?

Always fun to see red's out there!! Good luck, can't wait to see how it progresses.

i know i have to change out the valve covers i had those on there cuz i was planing on using this motor in my 87 coupe and then i got the 95 and its going back into its home i still need the brackets for it, an intake, and a dist. which i hope to have here shortly

Too bad you're not closer, I have an intake for that in the shed. I was gonna swap it onto my 95 Flareside when I had it but never did. Josh, I love your car....don't be surprised if I end up with a twin hahaha.

I always liked those 3 spoke rims on the early stangs. Deep down... I'd be one happy man If i had a 5.0 vert...white with a Porno Red interior and a set of those 3 spokes in chrome. Shit just scream's 1990's!
