Who here has installed or has the 2013-2014 5.8 installed in their foxbody?

What k-member, headers, x-pipe did you go with?

I don't know if anyone on here has done it, but I do know on Facebook there's a guy Jeremy Morris here in NTX, owns Reaper Garage, and he had done it a while back on a notch.

@95steedamustang might know what all is needed as well as far as forum members go.

Reader's Rides: The Holy Trinity Fox Body Named "Venom"

Swapping a V8 engine into a Fox Body is nothing new. However, installing a 5.8-liter Trinity engine with a Kenne Bell Mammoth blower is!

I didn't realize he had videos of it, but that is the one Jeremy built.

Thank you for the help. Jeremy is booked up. I just purchased the Trinity 5.8 swap kit. I’m hopping to have it completed by next year.

I have not. Sounds like something I would do though. lol

I did find this though, maybe it will help:

5.4L dohc in 86 GT. Which headers??

hey guys i have a 86 GT and a navi motor and im trying to figure out what headers will work or what mods i have to do to a set to make work? long tubes or shorty? any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you

It does not appear that anybody currently sells LTs that I can find however, the shorties appear to work and I found a private sales thread from a dude that made his own LTs from a set of shorties. It was a one-off and many years old so I did not bother with that sales link.
