    Re: The Project Fox-Body that I just got...

    OK well I know my next project after I get the bills cleared away. I was going to save for one of the factory five cars but I think I'd get more satisfacton from resurecting a fox. Damn you both for posting pics.
    Let's flip a coin. Heads I get tail, Tails I get head.

        Well... I have finally decided to get ballsy and post my intentions for the car...

        perhaps if the interest keeps up, I will continue the thread on how the process goes..

        The car is intended to be a street legal drag car, meaning it will have two seats, the interior will be gutted, and it will have a fuel cell as opposed to the standard gas tank.

        PLANS:

        Engine

        331 Stroker
        Standard Bore at 4.000", Forged Pistons
        5.400" 5140 Forged Rods

        Comp Cams Magnum Alloy Pushrods
        1.7 Aluminum Roller Rockers
        130# Comp Springs
        Manley Aluminum Valves, Standard Size (GT40)
        GT40-P Heads, Polished Runners
        GT40-P Intake, Polished Runners, with One Inch Spacer
        BBK CAI
        75mm Throttle Body
        42lb Accel Injectors
        14 gallon Poly Fuel Cell
        BBK 70 psi In line Pump

        EXHAUST

        Stainless Shorty Headers
        Straight Pipe, 3" all the way back

        INTERIOR
        10 pt. Roll Cage,
        Driver's and Pass. Alum. Racing Seats
        G-Force 5-Pt. Racing Harnesses
        Custom Aluminum Dash panel
        Autometer Sport Comp Tach, Speedo, Water Temp, Oil Press., Voltmeter, Fuel Level, Fuel Pressure Gauges
        Toggle Switch Board
        MSD 5.0 Ignition Kit (w/ billet Dist., Street Fire Coil)
        Optima Yellow Top, relo'd to trunk

        Drivetrain
        ZOOM Stage 3 Clutch and Clutch Quadrant
        World Class T-5
        Alum. DS

            Dang, poor guy, he should be retired. Instead you are making him work.....LOL

            The nice thing about 5.0 Fox body and engine is that there's so much stuff you could do it. It's like going to a caddy store and you choose your poison.

                                pretty much. I'm so wrapped up with everything, I'm always busy.

                                I'm actually getting ready to start a second job.

                                im onw those kids that's too busy for video games.

                                but stick with the video games. they make it easier to save money.
