Consider an LX coupe (with the 5.0 package) instead of a hatchback. The coupe version is 80 to 200 lbs lighter, depending on the model and has a more rigid structure.
For the record the Fox chassis was introduced in the 1978 Ford Fairmount........not the stuff of performance cars. The Fox platform was used in mustangs from '79 to last year. It was also used for Lincoln Mk VII and Continental, T-Bird, Cougar, all from about '82 to 88
That means if you roll a '78 Fairmont and last years Mustang, upside down, they will look remarkably similar.
However, the mustangs got better year after year, so go for the latest one you can find, which still has the 5.0 pushrod engine.
