Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I've saved my pennies and waited a long time to be able to do something like this. As said this is a great platform to start off with. They are light and just flat out work at the track.

I like that body style too. I have an sn95 I was going to build but I snatched this one up because I can't build this car for all it has in good parts.

The engine combo will be the lq4 with 243's milled .040, valve job, and hand port work, .040 head gaskets. C/R to be 11.35 and run on pump gas. Victor Jr intake w/ a carb along with the MSD-6010 ignition box. 1 7/8" dynatech headers.

As for the cam I am thinking along the lines of a TRex. I want to peak around 67-6800 and shift no higher than 7k. Either going to go with that cam or have EPS or Bullet spec me one for my combination. Only bad thing is I'm going to have to flycut the pistons. I'll probably call around some machine shops to see if they would do this.

 

LOL Come down and join the Austin guys down here. A lot of Texas guys are buying older foxbodies and just putting LS platforms in them and making them SCREAMMM out here. So fast, so light, for so cheap. It's gonna be a bitchin car lance

 

Nice! At first I wasnt expecting it to be such a nice car. I read the price as I was clicking the link and was like "Thats quite a bit for a. OMG thats a nice car!"

You should put a turbo on it. And then give it to me.

 

That is ******* sweet.

 

Looks like a fun project to me!

 

Wow that is a very nice street/strip car for sure!!!!!!Love the fox bodys!

 

nice thats going to make some ford guys mad when they get a peak under the hood.

 

bad *** coupe, make me wish I never sold my 88 coupe

 

Car definitly has alot of potential. It doesn't take much power to make such a light car go really fast

 

awesome, looking forward to seeing the build...ive thought many times about buying a notch and putting my drivetrain in it
