Just bought a Foxbody!

I can't wait to start modding it! Does anyone know where I can get a good fender and hood for cheap?

Have you checked any junkyards yet? Or are you looking for an aftermarket hood?
I know A1 wrecking (out on the end of grand) has like, 8 or 9 foxbodys chillin there

I just want factory ones. I will check A-1.

Nice. One of my favorite stangs. Is it the 5.0 model??

Yes, it's a 5.0.

Sick. Wouldn't mind owning on my self. I know ijust said I wouldn't mind owning a 5.0. I know its a ford but 5.0 are just sick

sweet nik and i arent as alone as before lol

whast your plan bud?

I'm just going to turn it into a reliable 12sec daily driver and thats it.

I have a Right side fender for a 91-93 fox. I also know some one with a stock hood for sale, its straight. I also have a HPM driveshaft loop for a fox.

I need the hood and a drivers side fender.

ok ill see how much he wants for hood.

If you check out A1 will you see if there is a good right side fender?

no i am still a die hard bowtie guy. but i do like some fords mostly cobra's, saleens and 5.0s

you could hit 12's with a 331/347 with good heads, cam, intake and the supporting fuel system correct me if im wrong sam. Or a S-trim

And Gears.

just a good 302 will get u 12s/
my combo went 12.70s with 9.0 comp f303 cam and trickflow 170cc heads . 3.73 gears

just depends how aggressive u want to get

so a 10.5 tcomp 302 with alil more cam will easily get u sum mid 12s

Stock motor, 150 shot and drag radials will get you 12.80's.

Is that the route you're taking with it?

Yep!

Cool. Winter project I'm assuming? Still working on the transmission in the s197 car?

Yep, But I havn't had a lot of time to work on it. We are building a house and a shop and it's taking a lot of time. I will start working on it again in a couple weeks.

stock heads, trick flow intake, small E303 cam, stock short block, and a 150 shot I hit 12.20 and ran out of Nitrous a the eighth mile mark. Is it auto or stick, efi or carb, year, GT or LX? I have a stock hood for on too.

What is that shit me and AJ are here too dam it. Now you are going to make me cry Sam Hay those arn't tears

in my defense i havent seen u in a year lol

This is true, maybe we'll have to make that change nest year if your track is up and running

sure hope so bud , we need more foxbodys up there , usally just me and josh cole , nik showed up a few times also , but its pretty slim for fords up there lol

It's an 88 LX 5.0 auto. I need a front bumper cover and drivers side fender too. I found a hood already. How did you like the E303?

The E303 worked pretty good, I ran a set of 1.7 bolt down crane roller rockers with it to get more lift. The 1.7 took it to .528 lift from a .498. There are better cams out there but I was running the stock pistons and was limited on lift size. From 87 to 92 mustang 5.0 have forged pistons in them already and that is why I didn't change them at the time. I don't know if you know much about the EFI in this year Mustang so I'm not triying to sound like a know it all but you will have to convert to mass air on yours if not already done. There are many differnt ways to do that and the thing you will need is a A9L or a A9P computer the L is for a manual and the P is for a auto and usaul easier to find. you can allso change this in the computer tune. Now you can find the mass air wire inputs at the computer pretty easy and run your own wire to a mass air sensor. You can buy the mass air sensor macthed to injectors (it works but isn't ideal, I ran like this for a while and had drivablity problems at low rpm) or if you are going to be tuning it I would get a tweeker or quarterhouse from moates you can make your own tube and run a newer 2005 mustang stock mass air sensor.That is what I am going to run and AJ ran on on his setup too. AJ put together a quick tune from the tweeker for my old setup and it drove like it was factory, but ran like a raped ape. You might already know this stuff but I thought I would throw it out there if you didn't. If you need any help or any questions on these kind of cars just post it and I am sure one of the fox guys will pipe up. I know a little on the tuning but AJ is the brains of my opperation for sure. Just wait until you see his new setup. Heres is a pic of the mass air tube we made for AJ's car to show you what I mean.

I wouldn't waste your money on the parts to convert to MAF, unless you can get them for very cheap. I would buy one of these setups...

No. Right now I am running a mail order tune on a moats j3 chip and am running an fmu and wideband to add fuel to fine tune. Kind of a band-aid setup but there were not a lot of tuning options in Coeur d'alene. But I am thinking about getting the megasquirt setup. There are several other options I am looking at as well, but none of them are gona happen till my car is done(which may never happen). Honestly though, I think I will just do a sct chip and have Brett tune me.

Oh alright I gotcha

all the reasons i love a carb lol
screwdriver and a timing light , done ...

there is a ton more involved in tuning a carb. it actually takes more time to tune a carb than efi. you have vetures, jets, metering rods, a pleatera of carbs to choose from, vacuum vs mechanical secondarys and of course your timing and many other items that play a factor. along with timing you have to either dial in springs and weights (hei) or your msd (might suddenly die) box or mallory. the bad thing about a carb vs efi the carb cant sense a weather or temp change where efi can. Efi is much superior and more consistant. ill use jason gto as a test mule here. we had a 122 ci maggie on it, made well over 500 rwhp, and under normal driving intown he was getting 22-25 mpg in town. it had 3.46 gears, coverter locking at 45mph and over 4200lbs with driver. id like to see a carb do that intown.

but to each his own, i myself would stay with a speed density. they seam to be a bit more responsive than a maf set up which can be laggy. mega squirt makes some good stuff, but i would almost bet with bretts tuning expeariance that his stock ecm will suffice for his goals.

oh geez .. i was messing around lol . for drivability in extreme conbonations i agree, but a carb is still simpler . and your right it cant sense weather changes ,
but u dont need a bunch of computer skills to tune your car , u literally need just what i said , and u can make um run pretty decent

ive seen alot of guys constantly talkin about gettin there car tuned , especially the import guys seem to have a difficult time , u hear about it constantly , when u live in a place like this with limited options , it makes tuning efi difficult ,

and it doesnt take more time chris to tune a carb , it is just different than efi

well, i have done both, carbs still serve a purpose, and i like the qudra toilet. i actually learned on the qudra jet. very complex compared to a carter afb (aka edlebrock). i will say that if i didnt under stand how a carb worked i would not have picked up tuning as easyily.

yeah ive tuned quadra pukes , as i was taught to call them , had a few love the sound of there secondaries opening up , im a died in the wool holley fan , holley type carbs, especially the new proforms , quickfuels , and hp holleys are a joy to work with ...
never a fan of the edlebrock. take a quad over them anyday

There is no way. u'd blow that motor and watch the pistons fly out of the hood. hopefully its not a completely stock block...

are you high? stock cast pistons in a carb style engine will do a 200 shot with enuf timming pulled. a efi engine with forged (doesnt matter if it detonates they just dont fall apart) pistons will hold that 150 shot with ease.

Like I said before I ran a stock lower end and stock heads with a 150 shot for five years and I wasn't the easiest on the motor. The nice thing is that the 5.0 has TRW forged pistons stock. I'd be more worried about the stock AOD in the car The motor is just fine for something like 150 shot. Getting into the 12.8 zone should be fairlly easy to do with nitrous and a couple of other little things.

ok really ?i have a bone stock shortblock in my car. its a 88 302 with factory forged pistons , stock rings and replacment beaarings, i ran over a 100 nos runs on her over 4 years and a total of 486 runs at the track plus all the weekends i drove her ,

ALL STOCK PARTS CRANK RODS PISTONS AND RINGS
on a 150 shot outta the hole , it would go 11.20s at 118mph

and it still lives

i have the log book ,video , and a 2 handfulls of timslips if u need proof

Thats just what I thought!

Anyone have any used long tubes for my budget 5.0 AOD? Sam? Or any other bolt on performance parts.

k well didnt mean to piss u off.. im just iffy with nos. watched my uncle destroy his 350 with a 75 shot, so thats where my doubt was from. srry guys

I don't think you pissed anyone off. It's all good!

Didn't piss me off, I just think its funny when someone says nitrous people instantly think it will destrory a motor.Tuned in right and with all the safty stuff it is just as safe as a blower or turbo, maybe even safer.

I think Cole still has some long tubes.

Let me know if he has some? I think I bought your buddies hood to! Maybe, it was on craigs list.
