    Hello the name is Matt I'm 26 from the North Hills and me and my dad recently purchased a 90 GT with some goodies already on it. Some of you may know the car cause JC Turbo posted it on here http://www.steelcitystangs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18085 We're lookin to do some suspension and possibly stroke it to a 347. Its supercharged and were both new to this and trying to make sure everything was done right and working properly so any help would be appreciated.

    Hey bud. Good looking car. With the 5.0, now this is my opinion on everything if read and talked to, the 331 is actually a better stroker for longer life that what the 347 is. Like i said, thats my opinion and others might argue but I was in the same position as you with my 1990 GT.

    Thanks for the advice... whatever we end up doing as far as stroking it will be a good ways down the road. I planned on researching it through and through and tryin to check out other peoples set ups and what seems to be working the best. Right now we're just gonna do a 5 lug conversion and make sure the car was done right and running right. Thats the big problem when you buy a car that you didn't do the work on... you don't know how it was done or the quality of the work.
