Fox Body Mustangs

My friend is looking to get his first car, hes looking at a fox body, so i ask you Veeky Forums what are some of the qurks, and is a fox body a good car to buy as his first car

It's a piece of shit with a potential choked, wheezing V8.
If he gets one tell him to 351 Windsor swap

Hes looking at the 2.3 L 4 bannger

Also would a LS swap work in a fox body?

It would work but I dunno how a Chevy engine would mate to a ford gearbox

YES ITS THE FASTEST CAR UNDER 10K

Yes you can LS swap a fox body, but lets be honest here, your fucking friend isn't going to LS swap his fox body. Your friend is going to spend 2k on a shitted out i4 and take even worse care of it.

There's no point to it considering what can be done with ford components.
It has been done.
Any upgrade from a 4 banger means changing out differential and transmission also.
Most bang for the buck, you're an idiot.
215hp for under $10k sticker price. Nobody else could compete with that at the time.

Thanks guys and gals, is there any major glaring issues on the 2.4L i know ford used it alot in the 80s, so i would its kinda bullet proof

Yeah, don't get the 2.4L. It's shitty, it's slow, and it's not fun. Just get a fucking 5.0.
