OMG this is the coolest thing Ive seen in a while. We need more pictures.When I found out that a fox mustang chassis was shared with other ford vehicles I wanted to build one. Add to that the chassis hadn’t changed much from 1979-2004 and the seed was planted. A v8 station wagon with a cobra independent rear suspension and a manual transmission. I call it the Daddywagon.
You need to get out moreOMG this is the coolest thing Ive seen in a while. We need more pictures.
I have more than afew build threads out there. Here is 3 of them.OMG this is the coolest thing Ive seen in a while. We need more pictures.
check out this swap article regarding the GT500 in a FoxbodyDoes anyone that's keen on motor swaps know if you could fit the GT500 motor etc in a foxbody? Saw this on Craig's. Guy says car had 37K and was a roll over. Seen terminator and coyote swaps but not this big beast.

Since we're giving tips, you should get to know your audience a little. I own two cars. The first is a 1986 Mustang GT. It's a Dart 331 and 2.2L Flowzilla that refers to dyno queens as "my ****es". The other is a 2012 Cadillac CTS-V that refers in the same way to nearly all luxury luxury cars and considerably more than half of all "sports cars".
The point is.:, I'm fairly well aware of the differences in the drive-lines and furthermore, don't hate on any particular drive-line up to and including the 6.2L supercharged LS.
Now perhaps you guys have a lot of REALLY nice jack-stands that you just never get tired of looking at because that's about the majority of what I see in these "swap threads". Now, if you're trying to tell me that the only way I can get smooth running motor into a Mustang is to abandon the Windsor and shoe-horn some other POS that doesn't belong into the engine bay of a Fox (or other), I will direct you to www.stangnet.com to have a look at their Fox content. Take special note of the cars that are running and those that are mostly immobile sources of frustration.
Examples can also be found on bookface. You're on your own with that one as I don't participate. That was a decision that I made after returning to college to complete my degrees in Information Systems Technology and Digital Security Risk Analysis. Something that was difficult to complete because I was spending all my study time looking at dyno-sheets.
This is a "dyno-queen" that I'm fairly fond of:

So kurt, what is you engine of choice? And what would you put it in?
Keep in mind that I am not a:
Drag racer
Engine builder
Or have much experience past keeping my own junk running
I'm a familiar with a CTS-V. Rides like a typical Cadillac. Still has a pushrod engine, because GM; and they can't afford to design a modern V8. 2012, that would be an LSA engine, which is basically a severely under hardwared LS9. GM figured it didn't matter since only memebers of AARP buy Cadillacs. Had a few friends who were mistaken with what the car actually was buy one, and the engine blew up almost immediately. So you have a car with a pushrod engine and an outdated blower, along with another car with a pushrod engine that was outdated before it even went into production. You aren't making a good impression.

Myself, I like snarly big stuff stick'n through the hood all scary anI don't know, depends on what makes you happy. Do you like a lumpy idle, and a lot of torque, or do you like something smooth and refined, or something in the middle? At some point you have to realize that you will never have the fastest Mustang on the planet. Do you want to go fast, or do you want to have something unique? I currently have a big lumpy pushrod with a ton of torque, hard brakes, massively hard clutch; and I am ready to move onto something else.
Don't mind Noobz and I, we talkevery once in awhile. It's part of the car culture. It's nothing personal.

IDK, it all depends on what your frame of reference is. In some instances, the Caddy can seem like weak sauce compared to other vehicles. What determines what good ride quality is? What you think is "pretty damn good" someone else may think "meh". If your frame of reference is a Fox Body car, then you are spot on.Then you are not familiar with it and certainly haven't driven one or you would know better.
I keep one stuck to the window so it can be seen as I'm driving past.And I've seen noobz aarp membership card
How pretentious of you Noobz, very well doneI keep one stuck to the window so it can be seen as I'm driving past.
Wmeth fixes all the thingsI simply like n/a engines... so rather than a GT500 that pulls ~120hp when it's warm, I think you need to do an Aluminator XS swap... 580 n/a hp's, 8200rpm... now we're talking.
I hope this happens..All of this banter has given me an idea.
I've been wanting to do an N/A Windsor build for some time now. I'd be willing to bet that I could build such a motor and have it run as smooth as a baby's ass and still make over 400 FWHP.
I'm thinking:
Cast crank
forged rods
hyper pistons
EFI after-market ECU
shorties
Full weight forged flywheel
zero balanced
What else?
I'm thinking this might be right at home in the 89.
