Well I decided to swap from a '93 Hatch to an '88 Coupe. We are swapping everything and selling the body as a roller.

Little history. I started with a 4 cyl. '93 Hatch. Picked up a wrecked/totaled '92 GT(Tree fell on it). Stripped it down and put everything into the Hatch. I'm talking brake lines, fuel lines, brake booster, wiring harness and etc... the motor was bone stock until I put iron GT 40's and explorer intake, BBK long tubes (which are for sale), and full 2 1/2" exhaust

6 mos later we built a NA 347 11.0:1 compression with stage 2 ported twisted wedge heads, Keith black stroker kit my buddy had laying around, older Anderson B4 cam, and a Edelbrock RPM II intake. TKO 3550 tranny with 3.73 gears. Car went 11.70 @ 121 MPH on BBK lowering springs and MT ET streets.

Now we are swapping it all into the coupe. Not that happy about the hood, but it's growing on me.

Yea I decided to go all motor as I didn't get mine tuned right when I had the 302 SC'd in my old coupe. I blew head gaskets all the time. Sounds like you have a very nice collection. Bows!!!
