1989 4cyl what should i do?

Here is my question. I have a 5.0 from a econoline, and 2.3 liter 4 cyl out of my old 89 hatchback. The 89 hatchback was trashed it wasnt even worth fixing but the engine is really nice im thinking about keeping it. I want both the 2.3 and the 5.0 I want to rebuild both but I have one car what should I do should I buy another mustang or should sell one? I am making both high performance. Does any one know anything about making a 4cl high performance?

THere are a few 2.3 sites on the net. For drag either will get you a lot of power, but if your road racing I would go with the 2.3, its a bad little engine when set up right.

Do one project at a time, this is coming from a guy that has 4 projects going right now
