okay so i recently aquired a 1984 mustang with the carburated(spelling?) 302 5.0L v8 engine.i plan to build this car up to start learning drifting in.it is my first rear wheel drive car and a lot of my friends drift so i have always been fascinated.i want to build up a near perfect drift suspension...money is and also isnt an object.i mean i dont want to chince out and just buy new shocks and some lowering springs but i also dont want to spend multiple thousands of dollars.i figured a nice coil over kit or something along those lines but i am having a hard time locating stuff for my car...alot i find is for 1986 or 1987 and newer mustangs.so any help is greatly appreciated!also,i have been quite baffled when searching for a turbo kit or a supercharger kit for the stang...everything i have found is either not for carburated(spelling?)or not for the year of my vehicle so any help on that will also be appreciated.thanks in advance

I doubt anyone here drifts. Talk to your drift buddies and see how they set their cars up, I do know they keep the chassis stiff, so a roll cage and sub connectors are a must for lat support. You do not have to go coil over, just change your springs to what ever they have. I beleive they run pretty stiff there are well.
Is this a road car as well?
You can keep it N/A, would be better for wieght, just get a bigger cam, and higher your comp ratio, heads, intake, long tube headers with some 4.11 gears will get what you need, I am thinking.
