in this thread i will document the progress of my new build. the car is a second owner 1990 GT with 14k original miles. i picked it up with no motor or trans. it does have a tubular k member and a arms, flaming river rack and 5 lug conversion with axles and gears. the Drag Lites and M/Ts are brand spanking new also











the motor is being built as we speak by Bennett Racing and should arrive next week. it is a Dart block 347 making 510 hp and capible of 1,200 with power adder. very similar to the motor in this link except with Ford Z heads and RPM II intake.

the trans is a TKO 600 built by D&D performance with a Zoom stage 3 clutch and Ford Racing bell housing and billet flywheel







the fuel system is Aeromotive




today the 75mm throttle body and egr spacer came and tomorrow i should get a PMS, meter, 38 lb injectors and power pipe from Anderson
Ford Racing

 

Anderson Ford Motorsport 95mm velocity meter, 38 lb injectors, power pipe and an Anderson PMS

 

Kick butt. What are you gonna throw in there? And it looks like your going for a full-on drag, is that the case? or will it be streetable?

 

it's getting a 347 stroker and yes it will be streetable. in fact it may never see the strip

 

I believe there is a special place in hell for folks who keep 347 strokers off of the strip. lol. Looks like it'll be a fun build. When I'm done paying off my car, I'd like to get a fox and build her up.

 

yeah but the thing is, it's a 14k mile car. it is what most foxes aren't, tight. i don't want to rag out the torque boxes and twist up the body

 

Well whoever you picked it up from was definitely thinking like me here, I think. Something about the beefy tires out back and the skinnies up front scream drag track. lol.

 

oh yeah, those were just bought new for this car by me lol

 

imho that is the best body style mustang
something about it just make me....lol

 

put my springs in yesterday. big big difference!

 

very very nice.... i'm trying to get my money right to buy a decent fox body..

 

update on the build. the hood is back from the body shop



and the motor has been delivered. 510 hp dart block 347 from Bennett Racing

 

I ******* love your Fox man. Can't wait to see more progress

 

Nice . Clean car and a sweet drivetrain setup. You're gonna have a lot of fun with that thing.

 

How the hell did I miss this thread. I love foxes and yours is super clean, nice buy on that one. And OMG I love that motor setup.

 

I love Fox bodies. Your build makes me want another one. Great job so far keep us posted.

 

I love the car! However I struggle with the thought of how that intake is going to clear, even with the cowl.

 

That intake should clear a stock hood the cowl will have plenty of room. The 347 shares the 8.2 deck height of the 302.

 

Thats gonna be a sick *** car.
I want Dyno sheets, Vids, etc.....
Or Ill hack your int3rw3bz.

 

This car looks great! It's the perfect example of what a fox should look like.

 

What a gorgeous Fox! Definitely the best interior I have ever seen in a Fox/Notch Mustang. Paint is gorgeous, too. I can't wait to see how it all pulls together.

 

500WHP N/A?!

 

Can I drive it just once? Car is gonna be awesome!!!!!!

 

i've used the RPM II with a stock hood

no, it's 510 at the flywheel n/a

 

Stop posting and get that "monster" running. We need vids and updates!!!!!!

 

well i got the flywheel, clutch and scatter shield installed tonight (pics upcoming) and found out the AJE k-member motor mounts will not fit a Dart block so i guess i have to contact AJE and see what's up. that 347 was ready to slide in this fox like a fat lady in a hot bath tub

 

 

i got a hold of Anthony at AJE Racing and the motor mounts weren't correct for my application so i ordered new mounts. they should be here in a few days

 

 

Where we at? Is that MONSTER breathing yet?
