- Brand new smoked headlights, and putting back in the right LX taillights. Also, we add LED bulbs all the way around! But apparently that wasn't enough to get this thing back on the road and be reliable...

Keep working on her. Don't give up on her! - Mustang Wes
I'm trying 😂
Personally I would relocate the battery to the right side of the trunk for better weight placement and traction ! Best Wishes & Best of Luck ! Good content THANK YOU. 🇺🇸🇵🇷🦊👍
Didn't want to put it right next to the filler neck 😂
My '94 F150 4x4 with a 5.8 was puking oil from that damned dual sump oil pan. I had to pull the motor completely. While I was at it, I replaced the rear main and freeze plugs. It had about 392K on it then. It now has 404K miles and still runs great. If you're gonna pull that motor definitely keep a small block Ford in it!
Haha gonna try to!
WOW great transformation!!! Love that you decided to save that car, and that you want to do it right!!
Cheap recipe...pull that motor, seems like the bottom end is still good, and holding compression, while its out, new oil pump and use the ford heavy duty oil pump shaft and use a felpro 1 piece oil pan gasket. New rear main seal. Should your cylinder crosshatch look good, new cam bearings, trick flow stage 1 cam, Ford SVT or trick flow high rev lifters and new Trick Flow pushrods. Use Ford GT40 3 BAR (identification mark) heads, they have the normal spark plug location, and work with any set of headers, unlike the GT40 P heads (dont use) they have 4 bar mark and have that stupid spark plug placement. TRICK flow 1.6 ROLLER ROCKERS!! Use MLS Multi Layer Steel head gaskets, they will fill inconsistencies on block deck and heads no need to deck block or heads. Advance new timing chain 2 degrees, your current old timing chain will have some slop and be out 2 to 4 degrees, piston to valve clearance should still be ok, new chain advanced, that cam will hit hard out of the hole at about 1800 RPM with those 4:10's. 285 at the wheels,about 330 at the crank,street tire low 13's, street slick mid to high 12's, and THIS CAR -WILL-HAUL ARSE!!! Energy Suspension motor mounts,they sit 5/8"s lower than stock or prothane mounts better centre of gravity and weight transfer,and hood clearance!! All this for fairly cheap DIY performance and less headache as the Ls will need a specific exhaust setup. DISCONNECT BATTERY! Pull that A9L computer check all capacitors for leaks or separation from board,have any replaced. Keep the content going!!
Haha, hell yeah. Thats a good shopping list!
I vote for 351. So many options and potential for big power. Keep pushing it is worth it in the long run. It's not fun fixing years of bad repairs and maintenance. My Fox was in pretty bad shape I know exactly what your going through lol.
Haha, it's all good. The tears keep my pillow soft
@@VeteranRevivals 😂😂
Sorry made an edit use trick flow 1.6 roller rockers with that camshaft....
Got that VGG Vibe Going LS swap is almost a thing of the past keep it ford the light upgrade is fire
🔥💪🦊🚗🔧👊🇺🇸
Haha hell yeah 🤙
@@VeteranRevivals 🚗🔧🦊💪👊🇺🇸
Oh noooo, that oil pan leak happening right after you put the gt40 intake in?? Well, I sure hope you keep it Ford my friend. As always, great content. I got a feeling this channel is about to take off. 👍
Everything is puking everywhere haha, I think it's just a car that's been sitting for the last 8 years, being forced to drive around again lol
Damn those taillights look great!
Huge improvement!
He likes like hes good with his hands
I got the push pins too for my hood because I had the old Chrome pins. The only thing I would tell you about those push pins. I got the same ones get ready to paint them because within a year. They're gonna fade but I still like them
Interesting, I thought they were powder coated, but now I that I think about it they may have been anodized.
She is looking better and better. I would like to see it ford powered. Whether that is a rebuild of the 5.0 or a 351 or maybe a coyote engine....
I'm leaning towards 351, myself. But we'll see what pops up haha
Keep it fooooooooord🔥🔥😍
Lets gooooooooooooooooo!
@aveteranidiot i just repalced the oil pan gasket on my 91 lx coupe and you can do it without lifting the motor or dropping the k member I dropped the pan and essentially laid the gasket over the k member and then came from under the oil pan and put one side of the gasket over the pan and then stretched just enough to go over the other side of the pan and added silicone to the corners around the front and rear where needed and bolted it back up and if you want more room you can just drop the steering rack and that will let the oil pan drop another inch or two its still tight but it can be done and i had to do a rear main seal and wound up doing the rear main again becuase there were knicks on the outside of the crank where the seal rides get yourself a crank repair sleeve as a just incase measure i had to use it but now the new seal doesnt leak a drop i wish i wouldve gotten one the first time it wouldve saved me a lot of headache
Nice! haha, unfortunately I think this thing needs to just come out and be looked over.
Go big or just stay home! Wedge in a 7.3 Godzilla Hi Po create motor! BTW, Deep Purple wants some royalty for humming SOTW in the wrong key
😂😂 there not getting much if they do! A Godzilla would be awesome
Awesome stuff brother!!! 🇺🇸💪🏼
Thank you!!!
New Sub and recently relieved of my last round of foxbody duty.. Mine had a 351W and it was a HUGE HUGE HUGE PITA.. Sure it had tons of power but i f'n hated that thing. There wasn't a day i wished that it just had the 5.0 in it.. CONSTANT Heat Soak, Header clearances, Steering shaft clearances, battery HAD to be in the trunk among other things that im sure im forgetting. All of these issues were previous owner(s) decisions that i spent 4 years "fixing".. anyway.. if it were me, i'd pull the 5.0, refresh it, maybe do the HCI (minus the I).. and toss it back in.
Digging the content thus far.
That sucks! Was it a '94+ 351?
@@VeteranRevivals Yeah, i was told 96, It was def a roller block.. Motor wasn't really the issue - i think it was a poorly planned swap by the PO and i just chased problem after problem bc of it..
Oh yeah, buying a previously swapped vehicle is a nightmare
I'd keep keep that old engine alive as long as possible. Run it till it breaks. Then look at other options. Thanks for the edutainment!
Only problem I have with that plan is that I have to pull the engine anyways to fix the quart of oil its puking onto the ground every morning haha
@@VeteranRevivals hey, it's an ongoing oil change and rust prevention program :) besides, classic cars don't puke oil, they mark territory.
hahahahaha, you're right. You're right.
Sometimes you just come across a car that just doesn’t want to play nice. I would say you found one. I hope you stick with it and beat it into submission. Please don’t LS swap it , everyone does it and nice to see it with its original 5.0 in it. Just hope up to almost block splitting power
Haha it might already be knocking of death's gates. We'll see when pull it and drop the pan.
I once saw an article, years ago, might of been in MMFF's magazine?? Where they took a 5.0 and swapped the stock E7TE heads and cam onto a 351 Windsor and used machined plate adapters to fit the stock 5.0 upper/lower intake, and the end result was 325 LBS of torque and 248 horsepower at the crank. Plus the 351 Windsor weighs approximately 100 to 120 LBS heavier than the stock 5.0 Windsor block.....They wanted to show what the result was from just changing the cubic inches would do with the complete stock 5.0 top end on the 351, was kind of a disappointing result to say the least, those E7TE heads are very flow restrictive, I think in your previous video you were hinting you might go this route, so you would have to procure specific headers and higher cost for the increased deck height of the 351 and factor in you will need a GT40 specific lower intake to fit the 351, just saw one on EBAY..$1350.00 US, ouch!!
However if you went with a carburetor you could budget a lot cheaper, but Holley sniper or Terminator X significantly increase your costs to stay fuel injected....So the 351 swap in my opinion is only worth the cost if you go with heads cam and intake, to offset the weight gain you will incur with a 351 swap.....I'd say stick with the 302 and instead of the GT40 Heads you could possibly factor in a set of budget aluminum heads, Trick Flow Fast as Cast 170 C/C or Edelbrock 170 C/C E-street are budget friendly, go with the 58 C/C chambers to bump compression a little, should be about 9.5:1 great for the street. You are a great DIY guy, so this should be a great route for you to go with...In my opinion anyway...🙂
Lots of good points! One of the biggest driving factors for moving over to the 351w was that the current 5.0 is likely knocking on death's door as we speak 😂. Also, if we're throwing money at it, the gains are more significant on the 351w. But like you said, you gotta go all in for it to matter. Which...... Is why the LS is so alluring.
Third brake light & license plate lights
Yessssssss, I forgot about those
Please don’t put an LS into a Ford, thank you
Haha, I'm with ya. But I'm 100% on board with coyote swapping a c10!
I’m VERY impressed with the Coyote and certainly not a GM fan, but I don’t think I’d Coyote swap a GM product just as I’d never LS swap a Fox. Just my .02 though….
I love your channel and hope you keep working on the Fox. I have a 1993 notch that is finally getting paint and some love this year too. No LS swaps either. Keep it authentic.
Hell yeah, what color?
@@VeteranRevivalsRed. I am doing Cervinis hood and fixing all the roached out quarter trim.
Nice!
Please don’t LS swap it!! Nothing against LS motors but it’s getting old. It would be cool to see a 351 with modern fuel injection. Love the transformation. That thing’s come along ways since you got it.
Thank you! I have very similar feelings with the LS
351W ALL THE WAY!! 😁🤘
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤙🤙🤙 haha
@VeteranIdiot we chatted about it on other videos. Don't forget if you use the 5.0 cam it won't have the 351W firing order. 😏😉
Hmmmmm I thought the roller windsor had the same firing order
Go with the 351.....or... Make a 408....it's a square motor and a torque monster. I had 95 ported cobra heads, xe266 cam and your manifold and did low 12's in an 88 turbocoupe..." Fox body"... Have some fun Sir
Nice! Something to think about, hmmmm
Just subscribed, being a mustang guy myself but, if you put a LS in that foxbody… you should be pew pewed! lol… kidding of course? Buy another market place 302 and build it to your specs and drop it in when you have the time. Takes a few hours to pull motor. Sheeeet, I’ve done it myself in a couple hours. As far as LS goes, buy a Iroc and roc a LS. Probably my next project! Lol
Did you go out the bottom with the k member or out the top? Haha
@@VeteranRevivalswent out the top but, dropping the K and replacing with tubular would be cool…$$ I was going through the same issues you are so, I couldn’t afford all the goodies. Hopefully next engine install. Check out my channel…I have plenty of mustang content. Thanks for replying! I hope you stay ford? I do like the LS just not in a foxbody.
Hell yeah, I'll check it out!
I'm a chevy guy but a 347 with the gt 49 heads would be awesome
I've always loved the sound of a 347 rev'ing to the moon
Opps gt 40 heads
351 Roller over the LS
yessssss
I agree,keep it all Ford, do an svo clone. Ford 4 banger and eBay turbo. Would be cool and different
As much as I think that would be a cool thing to do at some point, this car needs to rumble for a while haha.
Come on 351W 🤞🏿
😂😂 I hear that!
For the love of God ! Keep it all Ford !
Put a 351w out of a 94 Lightning in my 90 mustang back around 2000 and it was a ripper.
Nice!
That does look a lot better. I can’t stand the GT taillights.
They were cool in the early 2000's. Well, maybe they were never cool and I just thought so because of owning a 91 GT at the time hahaha
351 swap because i want to do the same and I'll learn what I need to do if you do it first lol
Haha convincing
Having the same problem with my 89 gt wrong screws everywhere, previous owner put bondo over cracks and floor pan near torque box and called it a day... currently looking for a clean 4 banger hopefully not owned by an idiot for a coyote swap
😂😂 good luck!
Please! NO LS swap.
What do you think should go in there?
What is the primary use for the car going to be? How fast do you want to go? Start with the end goal then would back to what engine is best.
I would like to see a 460 swap.
So this car is intended to be a fun street car with occasional track time. Mostly for hot rod power tour or any other long haul car shows.
@@VeteranRevivals then my answer is keep it a SBF, nothing sounds better than 5.0! Buy an explorer engine put a cam in it and enjoy. You can port the heads and intake and get a little more power.
Aluminum heads and intake would increase power more, but at a greater cost.
LS swap can make good power and starts off with better heads and block. But transmission options can get expensive if you are going for a budget build, and want to keep it manual.
351 can keep the current transmission. But without aftermarket heads and intake probably will not be a power house, some people can't tell the difference between a 5.0 and 5.8 once swapped.
So if you want to be different or keeping it a 5.0 is not an option I still vote for your favorite brand big block!
Haha, I still have a crackhouse motorhome in my backyard from the last 460 adventure. But I am always open to that rumble haha.
I agree keep it ford. Even better keep it 5.0. Or maybe sell the 5.0 to me.👀
Haha, you may not want this 5.0 once I get it out and see what all the knocking and clattering is.
@@VeteranRevivals I’m restarting a whole project since my first fox was stolen years ago. I’m getting the itch again starting from a 4 cyl coupe. If it’s cheap enough I can always build it.
For sure, we'll see where we go with this.
Please for the love of God don't put an LS Chevy motor in a mustang
😂😂😂
No LS go 351w
🤙🤙 maybe maybr
Keep it all Ford
I hear that.
Do you have a link for the hood pins?

351 swap all the way
hell yeah
351 no LS
🤙🤙
Why so expensive set of headlights on ebay is less than 100? Taillights are 65$
Unfortunately, the heat out here turns the cheaper headlights yellow.
not bad... for a ford
It's growing on you, don't lie
Please do not do an ls swap. Pleaseeeee. From veteran to veteran
hahaha, you can't use that card on me! Now I feel obligated haha
@@VeteranRevivals try with all your might to not do an ls, many foxbodys were ruined that way! I have 87 gt theyre great cars keep up the good work!
Hope you can keep it Ford powered but I understand the appeal of a LS swap. Thank God you finally changed out those tail lights, I don't know why those GT tail lights were driving ME crazy on YOUR car lol.
Oh those tail lights were TERRIBLE.
@@VeteranRevivals and somebody put those in thinking it was cool or an upgrade
Coyote swap
I'm going to need a bigger wallet...
@@VeteranRevivals no doubt. Also if you’re looking for hardware McMaster carr is an excellent resource
nice, thanks for the info!
Ford
yessssss
A rebuild kit is not that expensive for that car! Keep it ford.
There is a 99.9% it will stay Ford.
Chevrolet, turd, sacrilege 9:46
haha, which part was sacrileges? The talk about the LS?
Do not LS. !! Build 331. And send it.
Haha, gonna go cheap first and then maybe look into stroker kits and rebuilds later on down the road.
@@VeteranRevivals as long as you promise to go back. lol but the kits are fairly decent on LMR for a 331. I don’t know what end goals are in power. But supercharged 331 would be fun lol
No doubt. that would be a screamer. My heart has always wanted a 347 though, for some reason.
@@VeteranRevivals well because 347s are awesome lol
Agreed
Please don't LS swap it, maybe a coyote
Dang! Going deep in them pockets! Maybe not just yet for the coyote, gotta go cheap for a little bit.
Please don’t go ls, put a 351 in it, ls swaps are everywhere and 351 swaps aren’t necessarily rare but a lot less content is out there on them
Valid points 🤙🤙
Ford ,Ford ,Ford...LS sucks don't ruin another mustang...f... Chevy
Haha, but its sooooooooooo cheap
Do NOT go LS! I'll literally lose my respect for you if you go LS..I'm actually stunned that you've even considered that a possibility.
Negative, Ghost Rider.
LS swap it. Do the video on the, wiring?
It would all be Holley Terminator X , if that ever happened.
Don’t put a Chevrolet engine in that mustang, that would be a real disappointment. If you want a Chevy engine buy a Chevy car.
Would you be disappointed if I put a coyote Ford in a square body Chevy?
Honestly yes because I feel like any vehicle no matter what make it is deserves to have an engine made by that manufacturer. Modify it all you want but use an engine from the manufacturer of the car! Love your videos!
Haha fair enough
Thank you!! 🤙🤙
Yes engine swap it LS or Chevy 350 engine. My 93 Fox is getting a 350
Haha there would be a mob on this channel
Of new LS fans?@@VeteranRevivals
@@VeteranRevivals 😂😂 very true
