Thinking out loud guys,

Im wondering can a HEATSINK used on SN95's be used on a foxbody?????? I understand the differences between connections, But im looking to relocate my TFI, If i dremel off the 3 fins and the 3 foxbody TFI metal connectors are lined up and connected properly, can it be done???
Has anyone on here ever do this??? and do the Bolt holes line up??????????

Just make sure no matter what you do, you use a real ford tfi, NOT aftermarket.

Hey Thanks for the reply Bud.
I already bought one of those TFI relocating mounting kits that come with heatsink, TFI and wiring for my foxbody. My problem is that, Im want to mount it on the passengerside strut tower where the EVR sensor goes. Thing is the heatsink for the foxbody is too BIG!!! I seen online the heatsink for the SN95's and they are much SMALLER! So i have all the wiring needed, i wanted to see i anyone on here already did this project, dremeling the SN/95's HEATSINK to make it work, It seems the bolt holes for the heatink may be in the way of the TFI, the 3 little PIP sensor spades way also be in the way. I have only used Motorcraft TFI's and Performance Distributors DYNA-MODULE TFI's with great success.

Yes, you can make your own, I've done it. The harder part is what you do on the distributor. I gutted an old TFI & used it as an adapter. Got a junkyard harness & made an adapter cable so I can swap back to the original setup at any time.
