Afternoon all. Just a quick intro. A few years back, I rescued a black 86 SVO from a guy who had plans to do a TR6060/turbo 6.2 LS swap and possibly nose swap to a 4 eyed GT set up the car.
Having been around a lot of Foxes, that made my heart sad, so I bought it and brought it back to life. 99K rust free and never wrecked. It was stock down to the cat and air box. It has a 3" downpipe, cone filter, Gnari manifold, EGR delete, ported lower and hollowed upper intake now. Oh and some 95 Cobra wheels.
This makes my second 86 SVO, fifth Fox and 6th Mustang/Capri. The car is not without fault though. It has a weird fuel vacuum issue that I need to sort by dropping the tank, blowing the vent lines out and replacing the tank vent. A second issue is the car falls flat on its face at 5000rpm. On the premium setting, it pulls hard and clean and makes 17+psi but then drops to 12psi at said rpm. The rear is growly and makes locker noises on sharp turns when it warms up but I'd guess that whoever flushed it at some point didn't put friction modifier back in.
All of my pictures are big x huge so use your imagination on what a black 86 SVO looks like. If you have one, go look at yours.
