I have been looking for a fox roller for about a year now on the local boards and most of them are in the 1500+ range, but last monday I found a 1986 Vert with a c4 tranny and a non running 289 in it for $300. I figured for that price if I managed to blow it to pieces in the driveway I could live with it lol. It is pretty rough but most of the interior is close to intact even though the canvas will need to be replaced. Ideally I would love to pull the 289 and put a 302 back in then do a 5 lug conversion. I need advice on how to proceed. My feeling is that I need to wheel it into the garage and take the motor, wiring, and interior out first and do the body work. Then worry about rewiring the car and dropping a new / rebuilt 302 in it. Anyone have any advice and or experience with something like this? Like good places to get fox parts or information on rebuilding them would be great. I can't wait to get started but I want to do it the easier way the first time rather than the hard way.
Heh I have only had it a week and as soon as the wife found out it didnt run she wanted me to sell it lol, wait till she finds out I plan on putting it in the garage ...
