Question 1986-1993 Lx Mustang Identification?

I have a 5.0 93 GT, so I don't know very much about the Lx 4 and 6 cylinder models.
I have the oportunity to get a LX for free that has been sitting and slowly sinking in the weeds. It was locked and there are no keys, so I couldn't even get in it to open the hood. It has the same wheels as this link AutoTrader.com . It's dark blue, body is in good shape, hatchback, single exhaust , so I'm thinking it's a 4 or 6 cylinder. And it's an auto trans.
Is there a link for LX Mustangs (4 & 6 cylinders ) that tells how they where set up, as far as, rear ends, transmissions, identification by year.
I would like to gut this car, put in a 347 stroker carburated, and make it a full drag racing car. I don't know if it would be worth it if I have to change the whole rear to an 8.8. Change the K-member for the 347?
At that point I may be better off finding a 5.0 with out a motor, which might be a better starting point.?
Has anyone here had any experience doing this with a 4 or 6 cylinder LX?
Any help would be great!
Thanks

Look at the VIN in the dash thru the windshield to see what it has. If it has single exhaust it's no 5.0 though. Those nasty wheels were on the early 80's mustangs and maybe into the mid 80's too. You have to switch over so much stuff from a v8 parts car(rear axle, all the brakes, harness+computer, etc.) that it wouldn't make sense from a $ standpoint when a 5.0 LX can be gotten for next to nothing. But if you like the car and it's solid...
