    Round 2, Just bought my first Foxbody

    :nonono: When's the last time you saw a Mustang that stock and that clean driving down the street? In 1990, it would have been no big deal, but today that's a rare animal he found, and the consensus seems to agree. I happen to live in the Northeast and cars like that simply do not exist here...

    I have a lead locally on a PA Pro Comp C4, recently freshened up, with converter, driveshaft, and shifter. The story is this was "Procharger's original test tranny" and that it is rated for 800 horsepower. What do you guys think about that trans for my application? I had a C4 behind my...

    Huh? :scratch: OHHH. That picture above is a file photo from the ebay auction that I bought the engine stand from. That's not my motor. Nice catch though, Mike. :nice:

    Post pics of how your foxbody currently sits

    393notch that's definitely Long Island! Looks like Shirley/Mastic or something. I recognize some of those cars from LIStangs.

    I just don't get it.

    Mike, how do these pics make you feel?

    Build Thread Want To Blow 5 Years And $50k On A Foxbody? Step By Step Instructions Inside!

    Man, that looks incredible. May I ask what you do for a living? I don't know why, but I always look at the attention to detail people pay and it makes me wonder about how they make their living. I'd say accountant or design engineer based on what I see, haha.

    Round 2, Just bought my first Foxbody

    If you have that tacky blue window tint removed for some nice new black 20% tint, it would really set the car off. I'd also go with chrome Pony R's from Mavromont, but I'll stop building your car now. SO jealous.

    Round 2, Just bought my first Foxbody

    You knocked it out of the park in the second round. Very nice find. Congratulations! How much do you want for it? :D

    I know you know that I know that you know that I know that you know. :D Just messing with you a little bit.

    Alternator - Headlights dim - UD Pulleys

    :nono: Brian, very surprised that you'd even hint at running a 180* thermostat. You know as well as we all do that 195* is the optimal operating temperature for the 5.0L Ford.

    Where can I purchase a 302 r block from?

    I agree wholeheartedly that a DART is a better base to start from. If I came across a DART 347 when I was shopping for a short block, I would have snapped it up in a second. For me, the R was more than enough to satisfy my power goal. It'll handle what I throw at it and probably laugh and beg...

    Alternator - Headlights dim - UD Pulleys

    When I had the stock 75A alternator on my old notch I disconnected it from the accessory drive belt all together, coupled the pulley to the drive of a Milwaukee 18V power drill, and hired a Mexican midget to sit in the engine bay and hold the trigger of the drill while I was driving to spin the...

    Where can I purchase a 302 r block from?

    Why all the R block hate? Jeff runs 10s on an R block with literally hundreds of more horsepower potential. I plan on making 800 horsepower through my R347. Different ways to skin a cat.

    No problem at all man. I appreciate you keeping an eye out. I was sorry to hear about your calypso hatch getting wrecked but glad you and your girl made it out okay. There's always another car. Good luck finding a new one! :nice:

    Alil confused...

    If I remember correctly the hangers are in the same place, but someone may come in here and correct me. I'd be more worried about the exhaust manifolds matching up. It really is a crapshoot with exhaust fitment anyway. Any exhaust shop can make it work and will have to make modifications...

    Alil confused...

    You'll want an H/X pipe for a 99-04 2V. Any exhaust shop worth a damn will be able to make it work fine. I prefer the sound of an X pipe on mod motors and H pipe on pushrods, but it's all a matter of opinion. If you're going to drive this car on the street more than the dragstrip, I strongly...

    Thanks man! :D Stupid update, but I got a pretty cool engine cradle from Roush-Yates. Not bad for $50 on ebay (powdercoated black and everything!) and I'll be able to bolt the transmission up to the motor with it on the stand and out of the car, then drop the whole thing in as one assembly...
