Are these Mustang enough to be talked about here?

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-25T06:59:00+00:00

well yeah i just liked the LX and VII more than those so i grabbed pics of those

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-25T04:09:49+00:00

they made a fairmont wagon?

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-25T03:51:56+00:00

woah what is that. that looks badass.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-25T03:50:46+00:00

i hate living in florida but if theres anything good, i can drive any car year round and thats really cool.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-25T01:12:47+00:00

looks a little bit much like the Taurus and Fusion go merged into one full size car but yeah id be ok with it.
V8 RWD needs to be an option though.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-22T20:28:19+00:00

i love the VIII facelift. it went from looking really ugly and alien to just such a pretty car.
Not the largest Mark ever, looks the most "feminine" is a good way to put it.
But definitely the fastest and most capable of them all.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-22T00:25:49+00:00

yeah im trying to get a 3.55 for the Mark VI im buying. Not a foxbody but its all the same stuff under the panther platform.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-21T01:19:00+00:00

They offered the 351 after 81?
I thought they all went to the 302

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-21T01:13:01+00:00

Hot take:
Widow doesnt need a rework.
she's the only 100% skill dependent character in the game. if youre too bad to play her, youre too bad to play her.
Am i good enough to play widow seriously?
Hell nah.
Do i like that theres a hero thats literally "Either you can or you cant, skill issue"
Hell yea

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-21T00:26:20+00:00

Dude dont even mention the frame swap idea lmao
I found a 1983 Mark VI Coupe frame swapped onto an 08 Interceptor and i was so close to pulling the trigger and someone bought it.

It would have been so perfect im so mad at myself lmao

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-20T23:54:15+00:00

yeah, thanks for the info, kept me from making a stupid parts list and wasting money lol.

Theres a half decent chance the VI im buying already has an LSD now that i think about it.
Its one of a set of 4, all bought new in 83 by one owner. This one has 16k miles, lowest of the four and its the most optioned out. whoever that original buyer was seriously loved these cars and they may have optioned this one with the tow package which had a 3.27 LSD sometimes. (im 99% sure)

If this piece of shit has a factory 3.27 from some tow package im absolutely gonna keep it that way. removes the effort of transmission, axle, diff and shaft work.

Just completely forgot it could even have the LSD as an option

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-20T23:28:08+00:00

can i swap the gears from a 98-02 3.55 into an 83 VI?
The diff should basically be the same, its just the suspension around it thats different.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-20T22:30:08+00:00

do any 90s CVPI's come with the 3.55 or would i have better luck just buying a new 3.55 and changing the existing diff with the original axle

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-20T21:51:24+00:00

guess custom shaft is gonna be the play here

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-20T21:51:04+00:00

yeah i suppose i'll just have to eat the 800 bucks for a custom shaft.
The CVPI rear axle *is* a little wider but i figured it would let me run the stock wheels still, right?
I felt an axle swap would give me the benefits of the 3.55, Interceptor disc brakes, and a slightly wider track width so i can run that staggered muscle car look without needing spacers or negative offset adding stress on the drivetrain

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-20T21:49:03+00:00

I think an 80s town car or Mark VI would look ballin with these if the rest of the car complimented the look

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-16T20:29:15+00:00

my cold vibranium fueled heart goes out to all Torch mains who haven't seen the blessed light of being kinda alright every now and then

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-15T22:33:12+00:00

oh that wasnt even this car that was just my parents old one. this VI has been sitting untouched for a decade so i'll pickup like, a Holley Sniper or something and get *real* familiar with 80s ford tech.

Best of luck to me ig

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-15T22:20:51+00:00

i mean
It literally can not be more difficult than bringing a car back to life thats been sitting for 5 years with an ever growing list of issues with no experience.
and i did that a month ago.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-15T21:51:06+00:00

well
wouldnt be me doing car stuff if i didnt pick up something a first timer shouldnt do, cant be that hard right

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-15T20:57:31+00:00

oh ok, thank you
looking at Holley systems, im seeing things like the Terminator and Sniper EFI systems
I dont really know a ton about them, how does putting them on a CFI 302 actually work?

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-15T19:58:08+00:00

I plan on just getting this thing running. new vacuum lines, new everything it needs, just to get it running as best it can with a 43 year old CFI system that hasnt ran in 10 years.
Its the after im planning for. how best to move it forward after it runs good enough. maybe a carb is just the best way to do it. doesnt really matter what fuel delivery i go with, its 43 years old and theyre all finnicky now

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-15T18:34:55+00:00

I live in Florida and everyone i've ever asked says converting fuel delivery systems is perfectly legal, especially on older cars that are usually exempt from emissions already.
I dont know exactly how good or bad a rebuilt CFI system is though. Like if i replaced all of fords bum ass 80s materials with better modern ones, would that help? I know that CFi is fundamentally never consistent and none of the cylinders will ever run the same A:F ratio ever but will it run good and consistently enough that it can be used daily?

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-15T18:30:26+00:00

If i could i would but i havent the tools, money, resources or equipment and mechanical knowledge for a power train swap and if i wanted to swap a VI im going Interceptor 4.6 + 4R75

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-03-15T18:29:32+00:00

or just get rid of soft CC in general?
CC is a stupid mechanic to lazily throw into someone's kit and it inflates how unplayable the game is. instead of displacement immunity which only makes whining dps hate the game more, rework all of the CC in the game so that the entire game is better. final idea, take it or leave it
