How's it going everyone. I plan on buying a Fox Body as a project car. I want to pull the engine have it rebuilt and drop it in myself. I have no experience installing an engine so but I'm eager to learn. I've done simple stuff such as regular maintenance, suspension upgrades etc. but have no experience with electrical work. Besides the Haynes manual what books would you recommend? I'd like to find books with plenty of step by step guides with pictures. I'm trying to do a bunch of research and reading first before I shell out the cash on my little adventure lol.

+1 the Ford shop manuals are the best. I picked up mine on ebay also the Ford fuel injection/electronic engine control book is very good..

Amazon.com: Ford Racing M1832Z1 Electronic Fuel Injection Book (9780837603018): Books

searching forums is a huge way to learn stuff, you found this site but corral.net and allfordmustangs are great sources too. read through a bunch of posts so you can wade through the bull and figure out what is pretty much fact and what isn't.
