I started to redo my 85 GT, 5 speed, going to keep it stock, I ordered it new with a carb as I didn’t like the injection system at that time. It was build Jan 18, 85. I was told that they stopped producing carbureted mustangs in the fall of 84 unless special order. It would be nice if I could substantiate that but it is still fun to drive.

As far as I know, all 5 sp GT's in 85 came with a carb. And the AOD came with fuel injection.

I am doing same with my Fox... I actually "unmodified" it as I restored it, so it will be pretty much all stock when done. For pure driving exhilaration, newer stuff is just tbetter...

Keep as close to factory and buy another to fox rod!.....lol! Really you need to decide what you want. What is the purpose of the car. Sounds like you bought it to drive and enjoy. So I say build it and enjoy. Just my opinion.

What he said. Set the stock parts aside and you could still go pretty wild with the vast assortment of Fox/SN95 components available out there that don't require cutting up the car.take all the stock off and mod it how you want. just don't toss anything out. if you want it to be stock again down the line, then you still can.
plus, if you do go that route, you get two projects for the price of one!
