Hey guys, i currently own an 86 LX Hatch, 4cyl little car.
Im planning on taking everything out, fixing the floor. replacing what needs be replaced, fixing up the body, and repainting it and all.
I was thinking of putting in a new engine.
the 302 5L from ford.

With that i would need the fox body conversion kit right?
Also i know i would need a new tranny, (T5) i believe, and a new rear end....
What else should i be looking into getting while im doing a total car restoration? any help would be great.
Thanks
