Yes, I'm never going to build another car with no a/c. I'll be pulling the dash and replacing the heater core and dash harness and inspecting all the hvac stuff while I'm prepping for paint.

Nice. I know that's one thing my wife doesn't like to be without. Besides, you can always run a short belt at events to bypass the compressor if you want just a little more out of the engine.

Nah, when I run I always go asis, save for slicks. Everytime I've dragged dedicated service its been without changes to the suspension or even tire pressure. Road course days are different however, would be nice to do a whole road course day with the a/c on :)

Nice find. I would love to do a fox body... trouble is, its a ford and I can't own a blue oval... Is she going to be daily driving that thing?

The plan for the build is to be able to DD it if she wants to, at the very least something that is comfortable compared to the 87, I'm working a deal on a set of afr 165's for 400, hopefully it works out, nab those heads and a cheap s-trim and I'll keep it around 450rwhp

And as far as blue oval, my 87 has no ovals ;)


Think of it like this, 2850 with driver, n/a 450rwhp 52/48 50/50 weight distribution and by all account is me built, no ford crap left over

Yea, I have seen other pictures of that beast you have there. I may have to get one and do a heart transplant to a 351 or something. I love how they look, and the IROC Camaros to me are blah, nothing to be stoked about. But I have always been more about the motor than the looks of a car. My neighbor had a FOX built like yours a while back he wanted to sell for $3,000. He was having some fueling issue that would be easy to trace... I should have bought it from him. It was hooked up with everything he just got tired of it... Even had narrows in front and BIG ass tires in the back.

Oh mine couldn't be further from a drag setup, 275's all around blah blah blah, I'll admit the stock motor is a joke, go with an ls3 and don't look back.

LS3? Naw I would stay with ford stuff. Maybe a 5.4 for a GT500 or something. I'm not much for swapping different maker's motors into other cars... I think it almost ruins some of the character or something I dunno just a weird personal preference.

With the interview that the CEO from GM had... I might be getting a fox body alot sooner than I thought. Or a new 5.0

I'm going to hold off on a new 5.0 for a while, I want a c5 something fierce
