1993 Fox Body
 

Figured its time to start a thread on this car.

Picked this car up last year for around $1200. The guy before me swapped in the 5.0 and 5 speed, along with a rear from a 98 stang. Had a little brake issue and need to fix a few small issues.

I completed the 5 lug swapped and upgraded the brakes to sn95 components.

Someone added stop leak to the motor :bang:, so I swapped out the heater core and radiator, then flushed it for days!

Here is a few pics from when I picked her up.

Here she is with new shoes! They are 18X10's with 285's on all four corners...and I do get a slight rub in the rear

Also swapped that hood with the ugly scoop for a stock one.

And how she looks now...This was on a trip through the tail of the dragon

Also installed a solid steering shaft after the old rag joint broke on me. Its always a nice feeling when you hear a pop and gain some slack in your steering. :lol:

Next on the list is subframe connectors and possible some Datsun Z flares.

Future plans:
For the rear, I a plan to design a 3 link setup and add a panhard bar.

For the motor, I have a lq4 and t56 that I have sitting in my parents garage...along with a 4in crank. So I am on the fence about swapping it into this car or saving it for another project. Decisions decisions

I dig it! Is the 98 rear set up any wider...it's not IRS is it?

Looks good, much better with the new hood.
:thumbsup:

Nice! Car looks to be in rather good condition overall. I'm happy to see 5.0 Mustangs and 3rd gen Fbodies get some attention.

I say go stroker LS and have fun. I also vote for 93 Cobra spoiler. Love that spoiler.

It's a solid axle. It is slightly wider, but I believe it's mostly from the axles having the wheel speed sensors.

SN95 rear axles are .75" wider per axle for a total of 1.5" if I remember correctly. You can change out the axles and use brackets from North race cars with the SN95 rear brakes to get the narrower width. I basically replicated the M2300K kit on mine with the exception of staying with the narrower rear.

Fun project! Great cars, with tons of parts available.

Yes! :thumbsup:
