So what your saying is you made a bad mistake with dumping money into the foxbody so you are just going to dump more money into it?? That doesnt sound like Live and learning to me that sounds like a money pit and before you know it you will have a 45,000 foxbody that runs 11's!!

If I were you I would get a stock 5.0 longblock back into the foxbody and use it as a daily and then get what you really want as a fun car!! something that when you look back on it doesnt seem like it was a big mistake!

I know what you are going through.. My 98 V6 firebird made around 450hp but like a idiot I kept the stock 5 speed and stock rear end in it and they kept breaking. Bought my firebird for 11K , dumped around 12k into it and traded it in on my WS6 for 4,000.. It was fun but when I look back on it I am still paying for it 6 years later. If I had to do it over again I would have just got a LS1 car to start out with.
