Alright Tony, as a PA boy, with another PA boy over here in the UK, come on over to England and do an on-location video of “Stay Tuned.” Hell, I’ll even pay for your airfare. The English engine/Foxbody combination has me intrigued. That said, we are just a couple of Pennsylvania boys and a British mate, with Foxbody Mustangs doing the impossible over here; restoring, rebuilding and drag racing with the logistic pains of being overseas.

Sox drove a 1963 Chevrolet and then a factory-sponsored A/FX Mercury Comet in 1964.

That single tube in the motor mount, I'd add a second tube underneath. The single tube looks like it's almost horizontal. Not a good situation. Amazing that it fits, and they make a bell housing for it? Nuckin Futz. Great works guys. Can't wait to see the next episode.
The T-56 was used in aston v12s from at least ‘99-‘06. Dodge, Cadillac, Chevy, Ford, Pontiac, and Holden have used this transmission from the factory in their cars. It’s an incredibly common transmission for “sporty” cars and trucks.
Please keep that chain hoist, my father was a expert old school machanic, i remembered his shop always had a chain hoist taking out engines ect, great memories i had listening to that sound , brought back huge memories as a kid watching him tear into cars , he had no fear to fix them . My father was awesome and i see that in you! Never change buddy ok!!@
Thats basically two ford v-6 put together. And basically a ford v-6 bellhousing bolt pattern. So not too wild, unlike what you guys are doing. Can't wait to hear that thing rip. Best car channel on CZcams!
I will agree 1000%. I am so sick of LS swaps. And right behind that is body swaps. Taking an old body and sticking it on a modern car. Whatever happened to guys building their own chassis ? I just don't see the enjoyment in that. Maybe because I have built a few complete cars myself. Small block Chevette, 4x4 Elcamino, Mid engine VW van, Rear engine Ford Courier pick up, These were all complete hand fabricated chassis. No sticking a body on top of something else.
Right? Don't get me wrong, I understand why people do LS swaps. Easy to find and easy to make power with but they're everywhere. That's why I'm wanting to go with a 8.1 swap in my obs Chevy. Not unheard of but still not an LS swap.
A tip for clearing tunnels and bashing sheet metal in, use a 4x4 as a chisel and hammer it on the surface, it will make a lot more room in a cleaner way, with almost no hammer marks. That thing is gonna be awesome.
I was one of the "it's never going to fit" crowd. I can't tell you how happy I am to be proven wrong - this is one of the best hot rodding projects you've ever done, Tony & crew! Unique always wins when everyone else is doing the same old, easy-peasy engine swaps and builds.
I was right there with ya. I know how tight those engine bays are to begin with. They still have a lot of hurdles to jump. At least they have the main one cleared.
@@MikeAnderson-uj3oo Even though they have some massive issues to deal with, I'd say the remaining hurdles are next to nothing (though I would have tried a K-member that supports coilovers in order to hack out the shock towers for throttle body clearance). If there's a bellhousing, there will be a flywheel and clutch, and the remaining bits to make it workable are nothing in comparison to the job they just achieved. Plus, since they had to low-mount the rack, they should be able to avoid the bump steer issue by using the later spindles - relatively easy issues to overcome. The only thing I'm concerned about are engine mounts. I don't trust how far out they're cantilevered, or the thickness of the mounting plate. That's the only obvious point of failure that I'm seeing at the moment.
@@earlbrown They can hack the core support and install one slightly angled, C4 Vette style. They can go full Porsche and run a pair of radiators on either side of the fenders - and given Tony's experience with a 996s - including having PowerKraut on hand as a reference - doing that wouldn't be too difficult either. So many ways to make this happen. The intake is the only concern I still have. Does the "other" intake bolt up as the internet claims it will, will it drive the build cost way up, and will it provide the clearance necessary?
This brings me back to wrenching on Fox bodies as a daily hobby! Having all the 5.0 mods, there’s no way we would have done this back in the 80’s/90’s. But with the “modern” engine swap options, this just makes crazy sense. (Emphasis on CRAZY) Fun to watch all your project videos!
Fun fact, the reason things seem to good to be true on availability for conversion parts is because the 6.0 v12 from Aston was a ford design utilizing the 3.0 duratec v6 block as starting point. They literally duplicated the casting end to end to make a v12
no, the block is completely different in design with deep skirt and no girdle. it has its own bellhousing the reason it has a magnum upgrade bellhousing is because it came with a t56 from the factory.
This is what engine swaps were back in the day to see what crazy combinations they came up with. Hot Rodding the old school way love this. Shove the biggest engine into the smallest car 🚗
These Aston V12’s are bullet proof. Have many clients with 100k miles on them. Only thing they are known for is going through plugs and coils. We’ve been using the Amazon coils successfully and they are 1/4 the price.
I've owned several Ford era Jaguars. The biggest issue I encountered on almost every one was the wiring. Mechanically, they are built tough. And yes, I do know I'm talking about Jaguar. Like Jeremy Clarkson said once, an Aston is basically a Jaguar in a party frock. In the situation you guys are in, you will no doubt be using an aftermarket, stand alone, wire harness. So you will be able to eliminate all the issues they are notorious for. I will be honest, I really had doubts that you we're going to shoehorn that monstrosity in place. Good job boys. And Tony.
Lol that's me right now I have a 197,000 mile jaguar XKR from 2002. The engine is incredibly solid but some wiring harnesses for the throttle body are corrupted so I have to replace them
Tony's bro his body language is like nope, this ain't going to work or fit. If I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. Crew stabbed that thing in like it was stock.😮
A line I used to use a lot is "I hate when people tell me something is impossible, especially while I'm doing it!" While crowded, that would still fit on a T-shirt.
I dont know if Ive seen a better looking swap in a foxbody, those intake runners and the way it sits down in there looks amazing! I also like the history between the two companies which has even carried on to newer care like the front grille of a ford fusion looking like an Aston, etc. it all makes perfect sense to do this swap, while also making none at all, thats what rodding is about. I cant wait to hear this thing roar and see how you tackle to tuning, electrical.
Simply Stunning! I absolutely love this build, Tony! I can’t say enough about it but I’ll try. This embodies the true spirit of hot rodding, just like the vets did on the dry lake beds after they returned home from WWII. Speaking of “dub’ya, dub’ya TWO,” as my beloved grandpa used to call it, I’m reminded another well known Mustang that benefited greatly from a British V-12 swap, the fighter aircraft that served as inspiration for Lee Iacocca’s original Ford Mustang: the P-51! Not sure if you realized it, Tony, but you just stumbled upon my dream custom build with significant historical heritage. I instantly envisioned a bright silver paint job with air brushed panels and rivets in a direct nod to the P-51D, with an old school olive drab interior with stacks of aviation gauges, levers, and canvas or leather bomber seats? My imagination is running wild with names like “LOW LEVEL ‘STANG” or, since it was the Rolls-Royce designed engine that completely transformed the Mustang into a real world beater, just straight up call it “MERLIN!” One last thought- if you route the exhaust out the front fenders to resemble the aircraft, paint some nose art of a dark haired, bosomy pinup girl in knee-high socks and not much else, name her “SIMPLY STUNNING” as she is on my tattoo and you can consider me at the top perspective buyers. Please! My wife may divorce me but I’d go into debt for the opportunity to own this direct link to aviation and automotive history. Don’t call me crazy, just crazy enthusiastic.😂
Ya, needs a bigger baseplate to spread out the force and 2 more supports. maybe after the headers are figured out then rework the mounts. awesome build!!!
Yeah that base plate was a little scrawny looking. I'd put a thicker longer plate bolted where it currently is, with an extra part sticking forward. Triangular gusset under the arm to the plate hanging out over that space . Maybe some back support.
Hey Tony and crew. Watching from my Las Vegas home. I suggest the name Foxy Martin. Being 57 years young a lot ...A lot of my friends had fox body Stangs and fixed them up and they won most races against most Chevy and Pontiacs with ease. Have a great weekend, we all enjoy your content and conversation!
South Bend Clutch might be able to match up a clutch set, they told me they have a cross reference of what works with what and can provide a solution for whatever your trying to accomplish.
A friend of mine just finished rebuilding one of those motors, inside they're just 2 V6 Mondeo motors... But they do go well and they do sound awesome...
What a cool project! Not to give you any bad ideas, but Nobel has done wonders strapping turbos to this engine's V6 sister. Just an idea! Call it the Asstang 😂
HellYeah Tony! Let’s see what the Aston Mustang can do. Fun projects like this keep me coming back. Gotta think of a clever James Bond name for it. Beer and a Slice Time! Ready to Stay Tuned🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
@@StayTunedTA I grew up watching Powerblock TV and Stacey David would always have like a cart with all the new parts they were putting on the project that was totally product placement. Throwing the old parts off the bench is the final Powerblock TV touch
I don't understand why youtube dosen't suggest different videos more I had no idea about this channel till the collaboration with Derek but I'm glad I found it eventually
You shouldn’t have had too widen the trans tunnel on your 83 s10 to do the 350/350swap cause I didn’t have to when I did mine back in 2012 the only thing I had to do was notch the floor because I decided to slap a hurst ratchet shifter in it since I had line lock and a trans brake
I had the same color, same year fox, had some “mechanic” fix the struts as I didn’t have welding experience (it came out about as bad as yours), I had to sell it after putting a ton of work into it because I had move out of my apartment after getting dumped. For a split second I thought this was my fox that yall ended up with when I saw those strut towers haha. I will own one of these again, sick video !
I went the opposite way years ago. Long before anyone was doing engine swaps. I put a Chrysler engine - transmission and rear-end into a British sports car. Four wheel disc brakes. Six Konis. All braided lines. One reason I can appreciate your work. Great episode. My new favorite thing to look forward to on a Friday. Worked on my BMW, came in and watched this.
@@stephencurry8552 oooh. I really didn't expect that. Wasn't expecting it to be an XJS either. Honestly, glad I asked. That's awsome. 😎 Any chance you've any footage of it?
you guys are great!! I have a tedious and frustrating job to do on my truck today and every time I need I break so I don't start throwing things, I come in and watch you guys grinding away on this project and it gets me motived to go back out to the garage and endure more punishment.
This build is insane! I can't wait to hear, run and how it drives. FYI I have a question for you. But I have a DR appointment. Ill ask once I get home. GREAT GREAT work your doing. 👍👍👍👍👍👍The number of the thumbs is a hint...
Tony and his guys are BADASS , V8 Porsche , Sike clone p/u , 55 Chevy , drift car , sleeper Lincoln and now a killer Mustang !!! . I think BANGERS & SMASH would be a great name lol . Cheers 🇨🇦
Considering how "crammed" the v12 was going to look in the foxbody, it fits perfect! Heaps of room for headers too, QA1 makes things easier thats forsure, definitely keen to see this build take off like the awd s10 👌🏾
I think I ordered that car your working in 1989. It had a special anniversary badge on the passenger side dash Ang a removable sunroof. Brings back memories
delusional, it needs brilliant exhaust they developed the system many many years ago. or the brazillian secret weapon exhaust that successful on doing that recently
Thank God you've chosen a manual transmission ! EVERY CHANNEL GOES WITH THE AUTO TRANS ! In a few short years the stick will disappear into the night...thank you for putting up a fight ! WHY NOT THE "TKX?'
If I can fit a 572 BBF into my 1991 mustang then this is a piece of cake. 🍰 Your big TV days have come full circle doing your own video creations now is cool! Ford figured out the magic secrets of big engine power back in the day as piston diameter volume like a 4.500" bore is key to all top performance builds and why the V12 isn't capable of big power without a power adder like a supercharger. 😢
That’s a FoxTon of motor in there . “full of pizza and full of hope” is my motto in the garage as well lol should definitely be a shirt with like the new hope Star Wars font and count me in for one lol .
Right on QA1 Tubular SubFrame!! This one is gonna be Rad! Fun!! I agree with Fox & Martin. Also with a revisit in about 4 months to a year with hop upgrades. Sweet Bridgeport, we use those at QA1.
I've a suggestion for naming this project. The Aston Hammerstang. I had a good chuckle when Tony was wailing on the trans tunnel and spitting rust snow. We've all been there! This thing is going to be Flippin Cool, and that is a FACT!
That is one nice, "Mostly Adequate" V12 install! I worked on Astons for a few years. I feel your pain. But you will LOVE the way it sounds when yer done!
As tight as it is for headers you guys should look up swapping out that rag joint for a borgeson u-joint. Was into Fox Mustangs back in the late 90's/early 2k's. Even wrote tech articles for a local Mustang website. LOVE what you guys are doin'!
This is going to be epic! This channel needs to get to 1,000,000 subs. One of the best car shows on youtube.
Easily the best and most unique.

@@3xeplodng_3agle_studios No, it is a 1965 TR-4
@@stephencurry8552 oooh. I really didn't expect that. Wasn't expecting it to be an XJS either. Honestly, glad I asked. That's awsome. 😎
Any chance you've any footage of it?
@@3xeplodng_3agle_studios No, just photos. I have had no need to video anything.
you guys are great!! I have a tedious and frustrating job to do on my truck today and every time I need I break so I don't start throwing things, I come in and watch you guys grinding away on this project and it gets me motived to go back out to the garage and endure more punishment.
This build is insane! I can't wait to hear, run and how it drives. FYI I have a question for you. But I have a DR appointment. Ill ask once I get home. GREAT GREAT work your doing. 👍👍👍👍👍👍The number of the thumbs is a hint...
Tony and his guys are BADASS , V8 Porsche , Sike clone p/u , 55 Chevy , drift car , sleeper Lincoln and now a killer Mustang !!! . I think BANGERS & SMASH would be a great name lol . Cheers 🇨🇦
Also a great name. Good idea 🍻
@@djk91lx28 hahaha thanks , I also thought maybe Toad on the Road lol 😆. Cheers 🇨🇦
@@mikepoint4717 you sir are far more creative than I. Awesome names.
That engine is the size of the car! It’s going to be so cool. 👍 You will have to remove the 5.0 badges and get some V12 badges to take their place.
Dude! Awesome project, love every bit of it. Been following since HRG, you rock and I love the raw youtube stuff!
Doesn’t look out of place. Shocked it looks so good. Intake is so sick
Considering how "crammed" the v12 was going to look in the foxbody, it fits perfect! Heaps of room for headers too, QA1 makes things easier thats forsure, definitely keen to see this build take off like the awd s10 👌🏾
You got to love Tony always doing the hard ones love you guys the whole crew you guys are awesome always doing impossible and making it look easy
I think I ordered that car your working in 1989. It had a special anniversary badge on the passenger side dash Ang a removable sunroof. Brings back memories
guess I started watching this before and am now coming back to you guys where you're doing the trans tunnel massaging...I'm hooked now, lol
Love it!!! Can't wait to hear it rev out... Definitely needs X-pipe no muffler 🤪
Damn right , x pipe , and maybe some black widows
Mufflers and electric exhaust cutouts Sleeper style !!!
delusional, it needs brilliant exhaust they developed the system many many years ago. or the brazillian secret weapon exhaust that successful on doing that recently
Thank God you've chosen a manual transmission !
EVERY CHANNEL GOES WITH THE AUTO TRANS ! In a few short years the stick will disappear into the night...thank you for putting up a fight !
WHY NOT THE "TKX?'
more gears more better
Manuel harder to steal !!! LOL😅Hot Rods should have manuel and grocery getters need auto !!!JMHO !!
You mean hotrods with manuals and grocery getters named Manuel?
😂@@MacPoop
@@jasonbirch1182 If you like stick, get a Manuel?
Its impressive to watch someone who knows what they're doin.
Wow it fits, can't wait to see the beast in action.
Thank you for preaching a bit of safety Tony
Yes sir cram that motor in there!
imagine how fun (and frightening) a v12 would be in a Grumman LLV.
Absolutely killer in the best way!
2:02 One of the best "dad" jokes I've heard in a while!
Ooooh man, this is gonna be sweet. Cue the pizza!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
They need to keep track of how many pizzas it takes to finish each car. Obviously the more pizza, the more difficult it was.
If I can fit a 572 BBF into my 1991 mustang then this is a piece of cake. 🍰 Your big TV days have come full circle doing your own video creations now is cool! Ford figured out the magic secrets of big engine power back in the day as piston diameter volume like a 4.500" bore is key to all top performance builds and why the V12 isn't capable of big power without a power adder like a supercharger. 😢
DB5.0
Going to be nuts!!
YES! V12 POWAH!!!
Let's go!
I love when you put non-traditional motors in caes. This car is going to turn some heads with the sound. Keep up the great work!!!!
Y’all are truly living out your dreams. Wild car builds. Pizza and cold snacks with friends. Then making money from it is the cherry on top 🍻🍻 Gents
That’s a FoxTon of motor in there . “full of pizza and full of hope” is my motto in the garage as well lol should definitely be a shirt with like the new hope Star Wars font and count me in for one lol .
I support this tshirt idea
Right on QA1 Tubular SubFrame!!
This one is gonna be Rad! Fun!!
I agree with Fox & Martin. Also with a revisit in about 4 months to a year with hop upgrades. Sweet Bridgeport, we use those at QA1.
This is crazy ! Can’t wait for the results
I've a suggestion for naming this project. The Aston Hammerstang. I had a good chuckle when Tony was wailing on the trans tunnel and spitting rust snow. We've all been there! This thing is going to be Flippin Cool, and that is a FACT!
Right on, thanks for watching!
Asstang
My favorite build right now! Awesome ideas guys I love your way!
If I didn't see this video with my own eyes. I wouldn't have believed it. Fox body with a v12. Bravo gentleman.
“Gota come out to beat the tunnel up” should be a Valentine’s Day tshirt 😂😂😂☠️
Those old Bridgeport mills are so nice to have!
Those sounds were rad!😂 almost as rad as the silicone bushings getting punished onto place
You can see the excitement. Can’t wait for the next update. Even though I’m a big soccer Mom fan!
This is so much easier just watching you guys do all the work. 😂
You guys are crushing it the shop is saved!
CZcams has been recommending me some of the wildest builds lately
This is one of the sickest swaps ever
That is one nice, "Mostly Adequate" V12 install!
I worked on Astons for a few years. I feel your pain. But you will LOVE the way it sounds when yer done!
Those frigging tunnels are so tough. That’s why we cut them out. I’ve hammered for quite a long time and moved the tunnel about 1/2”
As tight as it is for headers you guys should look up swapping out that rag joint for a borgeson u-joint. Was into Fox Mustangs back in the late 90's/early 2k's. Even wrote tech articles for a local Mustang website. LOVE what you guys are doin'!
