I'm going to try to get a Fd this summer for a little under 10 and fix it up. For this amount I will most definetly have to get a rebuild. What I want to know is if when I get the car is it possible for me to go for a street ported rebuild if the car is bone stock?. Will I have to get any after market pieces in order for it to work properly?



I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks

if the car you will get is nto drivable make sure u look over the interior, some times when u buy a car like that and then make it run u find mucho other problems, if that doesnt bother u then go ahead, but i think u can find a fd cheaper then that if its in non running condition. u pretty much get what u pay for for a few exceptions.

Yeah I got mine for 12, and it has a new engine, tranny, and it was street ported. I did have to drive cross country for it though. These cars are going to have problems unless you get lucky. I love working and learning on mine so it didn't matter to me. But if you dont have the time to work on yours then you might want to buy a toyota

Thx for the advice. I want to just get the street porting done

when I have the rebuild so I don't have to bring the car in twice.

Yes I will gradually fix it up. It shouldn't really be a problem for

me to find one for just a little under ten. I want something that

needs some work, not a total overhaul situation.



Buy a toyota lol, funny guy Joe.

Not without some fuel delivery/control modification at the very least.
