Ok just bought an LX with 95 Cobra motor and trans pretty cheap. Body is nice I want to clean up the engine compartment the wiring looks like its been butchered has bad parasitic draw going on. Im gonna clean up the wiring and want to add strut tower brace does anyone know which will work with 95 cobra engine not sure if the 87-93 steeda 3 point would work and want to do a cold air intake



Wiring Nightmare I'll be dealing with.

neat car but yes that's a rat's nest. Not sure about the strut tower brace but as far as the cold air goes you may have to use a shorty style like what you have already. Something like a JLT. Due to your 95 intake in a foxbody. Could you swap out the upper intake? Then your options would open up.
