    My Big Block Fox Finished Product...56k Warning

    I asked Daggar to move this old ass thread over here because it provides some good build up info/pics/changes and some challenges i went through. Any questions please post them, don't PM me b/c my box is almost always full.

    Power Steering from 5.0 to Big Block

    The stock bracket will work if you make your own mounting plate and spacers like i did. I'll have to take a pic of my current serp. setup next time i take the car out to show how i made everything work with a CSR E-waterpump, stock 5.0 P/S pump, stock 5.0 crank pulley, and a summit racing...

    flowmaster..what the best...

    loud, go with 1 chamber flows or outlaw race series. The super 44 was meant as a smaller replacement for the super 40s for the smallblock v8s. I have the super 40s on my fox with tails and its sounds pretty sexy.

    Read this post about Mustangs on a Dodge forum. Called us RICE

    People ask me whats the 7.5 fender badge for, i tell them its my 0-60 time. Don't get me wrong i don't play favorites, i own 3 icons of the old big 3. Would i buy a 4th gen. F-body (LTX or LSX) over a mustang, sure would (unless its an 03-04 cobra). I've met a lot of cocky mustang and...

    Stoppin in to say hi...

    I know chevy bashing when i see it lol. But I really like the car as a DD. Its already beaten down its fair share of cocky mustang owners :p And i've beaten down my fair share of camaro drivers too. I don't play favorites, i own one of each lol, Ford, chevy and dodge.

    Big block swap

    heres another teaser lol, I have a full 3" exhaust with E-cutouts, H pipe, flowmaster super 40s, and SS overaxle tails. Cam is hyd. with 234/244 @.050, .562/.588 lift on 112LSA, it thumps pretty good. C6, manual VB, ratchet shifter, 3000 stall, etc., etc.

    Stoppin in to say hi...

    After tuning and cam swap, RRs, etc. I lost oil pressure, was at 40 psi cold start, then 6 psi hot idle, then 1-2 psi hot idle after driving it around a little. Can't find a damn thing wrong with it, no noises at all, and it runs very strong. I decided to pull it out and do a stock rebuild on it...

    Cheapest way to 270+ hp

    don't forget tuning, it will make a world of difference with those kind of mods mentioned above.

    Stoppin in to say hi...

    I know i haven't stopped in for a while just came by to see if anything new was happening on here. I've been pre-occupied with my new chevy :) pulling an LT1 out sure sucks major ass lol. Sold my old built 5.0 motor/trans/etc. for $1000. The 466 is still running great after 3 years of being...

    Made a quick vid of my 408 coupe tonight

    tuning will make a world of difference, night/day type. My Z28 ran so much better after tuning from the cam swap that it was a HUGE difference.

    cam choice for the 5.0L ranger

    Street/strip cruiser, the motor has stock compression, made 243rwhp with the stock cam through a built AOD with stock stall, i have a B303 in it now, but want to change it to either a TFS 1 or E303 because i really don't/can't want to change or afford to change to a bigger stall. Eventually i...

    460 question

    I'd stick with small blocks... ... ... ... Nah, j/k, theres nothing like a BBF foxbody for street fun. Use www.460ford.com for all your big block needs.

    Go for the bigger one....

    First post in forever

    i had a moped once. I stretched and raked out the end along with stretching the whole frame :) , added highway foot pegs, made it a rigid suspension and had the loudest most obnoxious exhaust system ever made. It was awesome, i miss it lol. I just can't seem to leave anything stock or stock-ish...

    Next project: Turbo 5.0L Ranger in the works

    I'll post pics of the truck tomorrow, and since the truck is a 3.0L V6 with a manual tranny, it'll make it that much easier to use my fox floor shifter from the stang lol, pretty much all the parts that came out of my mustang when it had the 5.0L are gonna be re-used, so this should be a cake...

    Next project: Turbo 5.0L Ranger in the works

    well, first, we just want to get it in the truck and running, then plumb the turbo after a summer or two of N/A fun. A B303 cammed ranger would still be fun :) If you could give me your uncle's email address, it would be great to ask troubleshooting questions incase we get stuck on something...

    Next project: Turbo 5.0L Ranger in the works

    My friend gave me his 95 ford ranger for free and its in almost perfect condition. We are putting my old 5.0L from my mustang in the truck, stalling the AOD to 3,000 rpms, putting in a TCI VB, and putting in a new set of lifters (since one collapsed, hence my 460 swap). I traded my exhaust...
