93 Modfox

[rtusnake]

Getting everything together to start on my modfox project. I was going to do a 2v motor but went ahead and bought a 4v drivetrain. I like the cobras more anyways :jester:. The plan is to use all the drivetrain from the parts car and put it in the fox. I believe I'm going to do the irs but may change my mind before then.

[QWKSNKE]

woohoo. been waiting to see someone do that on this site :nice:

[QWKSNKE]

oh yeah...

Good lawd that 99 is tore up!!

[qkjuicedpony]

Fun.I wish I could have kept that red 4v Coupe I just got and sold.With a few mods it would have been a pretty quick car

[waypastcrazy]

That will be sweet and pretty durn fast.nice stang too. Mod mod motors are the best motor ford made besides big blocks! big bocks! Big blocks rule!lol. (qwksnke)

[rtusnake]

Yeah i've never dealt with big blocks or any other motor for that fact lol. Not looking foward to the wiring but it should be easy enough

[waypastcrazy]

Yeah i've never dealt with big blocks or any other motor for that fact lol. Not looking foward to the wiring but it should be easy enoughjust pay attention to the details.if they ever make a mod motor big block want nothing on the planet catch it but they will outlaw it before it hits the street.it still gona be sweet build for ya tho. What's your time frame roughly.

[rtusnake]

Hopefully once I get started I can finish it in a couple months. I'm still collecting parts now and waiting to finish the 03 before tearing the 99 apart. Thinking about doing the flordia 5.0 gauge cluster to make the gauges easy.

[yellowSVT]

clean fox!

[klu408]

Lookin good!!!! That wiring part would scare me!!!:banghead:

[SvoBrown]

Nothing like having 2 projects going on at the same time. Then getting ready for a third that dwarfs the first two.
Some nice rides you have!!!!

[89five0Gt]

I would have never guessed that was a 4 banger. That thing looks good. It will definitely be a fun car once you get done.

[Evol393]

That 32v is gonna look sick in that little fox.

Cool project, Michael. :metal:

[SlowJoe]

are you using the dash and console out of the cobra? if not how much?

[rtusnake]

No. Once I get the car in the garage I will let you know

[Doc_G]

how are the seats in the cobra? If things go the way I want them to, I'll be needing some new ones for a 91 fox body.

[rtusnake]

My brother said he wanted the seats. I will make sure he still wants them tomorrow

Hey......this car looks familiar!!!!:metal:

[blue90lx]

Is the 93 an automatic or 5 speed? And if its a 5 speed what ya gonna do with it and the bell housing?

[rtusnake]

5 speed. Going to sell everything I'm not going to reuse

[sccapri]

What K-member are you planning on using, stock or aftermarket? AJE and TeamZ both make a nice one for the swap.

[rtusnake]

Aftermarket. Probably going to do team z or racecraft

[Doc_G]

Sooo... did you find anything out on the seats?

[justang5.4]

thats awesome, keep us posted on here how everything goes I'm swapping a 5.4 navi motor in my 87gt

[blue90lx]

Let me know how that 5.4 swap goes. I have a buddy that's doin the same thing to his 86 gt.

[sccapri]

I swaped the AJE for the TeamZ, it was more turbo kit friendlier than the AJE was.

[rtusnake]

Sooo... did you find anything out on the seats?
Sorry, forgot. My brother said he was getting them

I swaped the AJE for the TeamZ, it was more turbo kit friendlier than the AJE was.

Still have the aje laying around?

[sccapri]

No, it went to NC. but I'll keep an eye out for one. If you get a AJE get a newer one with the bolt on motor mounts. TeamZ has a nice few options on theirs too.

[sccapri]

Here's a kmember on corral. Not sure if it the right one or not might be worth checking on. http://forums.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1100177

[SlowJoe]

thanks robbie 256-310-9400

man i got dibs on that:slap:

[Italian LX]

Awesome project, Mike!

Thinking about doing the flordia 5.0 gauge cluster to make the gauges easy.

Have you looked at the ones from MC Machine? When I bought mine, they were only like $5 more and they are made out of aluminum instead of the cheap plastic plates that Florida50 uses. Also, the idiot lights, turn signal, and high-beam indicators are also macined into the plate -- nicer than the plain colored bulbs that the FL50 ones use.

If you ever want to see one in person, let me know and I'll meet up with you some day.

[rtusnake]

Thanks for the link brian. Never heard of them, but they do look like alot nicer setup. I would like to check them out one day when you get some time :chug:

[Italian LX]

Well, due to the recent incident with the coupe, it may be a little while before I can bring them by to show you. :(

Cant wait to see the final outcome. I would think it should be a quick car.
