Why so low compression? Forced induction I assume?

nah, E5 heads had a 70cc combustion chamber. TFS heads that are going on there are 61cc I believe, so it should turn that 14.4 into a 12.?? Depending on cam.

You got a good looking car, very clean under the hood. Heads will definitely make a difference.

Man, I love the 4-eye. I have special feelings around the LX 4-eye cars. We have an '86 coupe naw that's pretty cool but I'd love a GT carb car one day.

1985 GT UPDATE: The cars engine is in pieces becaust im trying to figure out what heads to go with. I have purchased an FRPP 9 way dual roller timing chain, new roller lifters, TFS1 cam, and still awaiting heads. Cash is pretty tight so its looking like some windsor jr 1.94's with the TFS valve springs to match the cam. That should give me 12s with a little head work. I havent fired it up in a month!! Ive been going thru stang withdrawls to say the least... I miss my baby!
