1993 Fox Body

[Merritt5]

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 , 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.






The swapped hood



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.

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.

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.
