    My new foxbody 2 weeks later

    This is the foxbody me and my wife bought a couple of weeks ago for a strip/serious street car. Me and my son stripped the paint off of it and shot it with primer for a black paint job that we will do here soon, it took two weeks working on it a few hours every day to D/A it and block sand it to...

    stage1 on 1986 fox drag car

    Thanks again, monday I am going to check out a couple of junkyards to see if there is any decent looking motors to freshen up and build. I am still thinking a 351 based engine would be nice.

    stage1 on 1986 fox drag car

    Thanks, I think the wheels for this car will be weld draglites, latemodel resto has a weld wheel/tire package that I'll probably buy for it when I get the money. I think the engine will be a nice aluminum headed 306 with a tubular K member, 2600 stall convertor, new paint, 8.8 rear end, 3.73's...

    3.73 gear install

    I installed my own and it wasn't overly difficult, you just have to make sure it is done right, compressing the crush sleeve with the car in the driveway is kind of tough, I used a cheater bar and alot of force to get mine started. Good luck.

    stage1 on 1986 fox drag car

    We bought a 1986 mustang last week for 500 bucks to make a street legal drag car out of. We took our 95 to the track and could only get 15.2 out of it so we decided to get a car we could actully make fast for a reasonable amount of money so we bought an old foxbody. The car has good sheetmetal...

    Initial startup problem.

    GT40P heads??

    Say what you want about the P's but I can tell you from personal experience they made a huge difference in the midrange and topend on my car, granted I already had a Cobra intake and headers/exhaust but the gain is definately there if you have the supporting mods:)

    oil change

    I would just stick with what was being used in this case, Castrol is pretty good oil.

    Headers?

    I like my BBK's, they bolted up perfectly and work fine on my car.

    Gt40 heads and Cobra intake

    Do it, you will make noticable gains from making those mods. I installed GT40P's and an intake off a 94 Cobra and picked up alot power all the way around from it. The car is a fun to drive street car from the upgrades.

    Any ideas for enging miss/cutting out

    My stumble that I had on my car that took me forever to figure ended up being a sparkplug that the ceramic section was cracked, I know how many hours of my time and how much money I spent throwing parts at it. It was only a 2 dollar plug:rolleyes:

    Dynomatting the 'vert floor?

    I'm pretty sure it is called "peel and seal", it is in the roofing section at Lowes.

    Dynomatting the 'vert floor?

    I did that to mine using some insulating material that came in a roll from Lowe's hardware, all I did was cut it into sections and used 3m adhesive spray to glue it down. It made a noticable difference in sound reduction from road noise and exhaust drone.
