Thread: budget build for the fox body

Tweet

These Fox Mustangs are the 32 Fords of this generation............you can build them so reasonably and they run like gangbusters. Nice that you found a 4 cylinder car, they are not beat on as badly as their V8 Brothers, and the torque boxes are always in good conditon.

Depending on how hard you are going to run the car, I agree changing the 7.5 rear to an 8.8 is smart, I would also box the torque boxes with one of the kits made to do that, and put in subframe connectors. Those changes alone will make the car hold up and take the twist out of the body. Also put in one of those aftermarket clutch quadrants to replace the plastic factory one to handle the stiffer clutch.

Nice thing is, these have been around so long and have been so popular that all of the parts you need are now available used at swap meets and on Craigslist. Post some pictures and update us on how it is going, sounds like you have a good plan already.

well right now its in decent shape. needs a front fender and a paint job. i am gonna clean up the interior as i find the pieces. would like to switch it to black interior.

gonna paint the door panels, cheesy but it works well if done right.

already have the steeda adjustable clutch cable/quadrant kit on the list. and a set of subframe connectors are coming via trade deal.
