Hate to always be the one that brings this up...but, with any car - especially Mustangs, after the first year or so on the road, there will almost always be some modifications. We are 20 years into the cycle for the early 4-eye Mustangs, I seriously doubt if there are any "stock" foxbody Mustangs left.
Add in the fact that you can mix 'n match most 302 blocks, heads, intakes - means you need to know your stuff when its time to go "yarding".
