What to look for on a 1979–1993 Mustang

  • Plastic dash cracking — virtually universal on cars stored in sun
  • T5 transmission grinds 2nd gear and is overwhelmed by big-power 5.0 builds
  • 8.8" rear axle housing flex (fixed by aftermarket girdles / weld-in tubes)
  • Lower control arm rear bushings deteriorate — contributes to wheel hop
  • Smog pump and EGR failures common, often deleted illegally during builds
  • SVO turbo wastegate diaphragm failures — verify boost holds
