thanks guys, im excited for it to be here, its stressful having something you paid for not in your possession for a few days, but i have faith itll be here safe and sound. im contemplating dropping a v8 ford 302 engine with a t5 trans, one of the other guys at my work has the engine all apart out an old fox body that had 20k on it, he said 100$ takes it, its efi but id probably just throw a carburetor on it. im just not too sure if i want to jump into something like that and or devaulue the car. but although im going to restore it right, it doesnt mean that ill be taking the body off the chassis. i simply want it rust free and of good running condition. throw some new shocks and brakes on it and a real nice paint job.

so opinions

keep it classic with the inline 4

or "stop being a wussy and throw that v8 in already!"
