The fox bodies should weigh about 200 pounds less than the 99-04, maybe even 300 pounds I would probably build the fox, might not need as much fabricating.

The 03 V6 vert has a 7.5" rear end and the gt has an 8.8". The 7.5" won't hold up long under the torque of your 418. It would be cheaper and easier to use your gt vert.

im handycap and can only drive one car, becuase i use a $25,000+ electronic joystick system (like the one in my van) and cant afford another system.....
sooo i only need one car , but it needs to be solid aka have a over built drivetrain so it never breaks,cus its a long way home in a wheelchair!!!lol
thats one reason spent so much on my 418w stroker, thats hand build by my dad, my motors built to handle 1200+hp, but kept the compresion down an the cam tame.... basicly the motor has room to grow, like twin turbos ,but thats a couple years away, i got to learn to drive with 500+p, an then get use toracing it at the track with the nitrous! BIG CHANGE FORM MY 200HP CARAVAN!!!LOL
Check out the rest of my vans electronics here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/484602/5

that's an awesome setup! (in the van) IMO go with the newer style. Both are gonna have room issues as far as your dissability, but I think those electronics would fit better inside the newer body style.

all the wires going to each of the computers are 20feet long so i can mount them anyware so thats not a problem, but i was thinking under the rear seat, and part of the trunk(i still want to put two subs,a amp,two boddels of nitrous, an the battery)....

terminators are my favorite car ever-- next to the rare roush cobra.plus that color is just amazing..saleens are only nice with a cowl hood and the 1 piece spoiler...

oh and for what its worth, i give you a amazing props for being invloved with this hobby and having a "limiting" condition...

personally, i would keep the fox and the terminator and just wait till you can get a second system for the fox.. IMO
