I'm a simple man. I see a foxbody, I click on the video.
Im the same way 👍🇺🇸🔧🔴🚘 America 👍🇺🇸
Such an original comment. A+ love it
I just love a original 5.0 and i hate it when you see one with an LS1 engine in it
Yeah it is blasphemy if you ask me.
93 Stang lol but then again all the trash the chevy guys talk about the foxbody 😂
I don’t mind. It’s your car do what you want. If it’s a rare version then I wouldn’t, but whatever floats your boat.
@@cannoncolossus2449 I just think people exxagerate the cost difference between building your Ford to make power or swapping in a different ford to make power vs swapping a ls. There is alot of things that need to change to make an ls work in a mustang which eats into the whole "it costs less" arguments. The only dirt cheap ls engines are 4.8 and 5.3s. Ls1 costs more and the ls2 and ls3 cost more too. I mean they're great engines don't get me wrong I just don't understand people wanting to stuff one into a ford. If you wanna do ls stuff get a gm vehicle and do it lol. There are ways to go fast on a decent budget with fords too it doesn't always cost 10x more than ls builds like everyone acts like it does.
"if you don't know how to turn wrenches" OR "don't want to learn how to"....I agree....the Fox is not, for you. I love working on my car and I'm not a mechanic... but I love learning.
Yeah I've had mine 20 years. Fix or repair daily (ford). But when everything is running fine it's so much fun to drive.
Just FYI bro, us long time subscribers are proud of you. We hit like and comment to help with the visibility, and thanks for quality, family oriented content. You know how I do it in Elmore County fam, #StangBang on em and always keep it #FordTuff 💪💪💪❤️🐴🐴🐴
You guys always support the channel! Thank you for that 🙏
It's really cool to see how many colors Calypso can have. Almost thought you were filming a teal car for a second lol
I couldn’t have said it better really. As a foxbody guy that has owned over 30 of them you really said it all the right way
I’ve got 4.10s in my t-5 and I freaking love it. If anyone is curious on the highway 2k rpm in 5th is 60mph . (Stock 302 with shorties h pipe and Flowmasters it does have drone ) if that helps anyone make a decision.
I have 4.56 gears perfect with a set od 15 welds and a 28inch tire drag set up onthe stock poneis i could almost use 2nd gear to take off lol 👍🇺🇸🔧🔴
Love these types of vids.! Keep up the awesome vids!
Amazing take, can tell you have a lot of knowledge on this platform, thanks for the sound advice
This car it's the Best looking fox period. I have to say you have done this car justice a thousand times over. Cobra Clone for life!
Always look forward to the content!
Love these talking and hangin out videos !
Your content like this makes me appreciate and learn how to restore my 87 GT ..you the man, Thanks!
Good stuff as always man. It shows you have been into these cars for a long time.
Good video man 👍 I got an 86 LX just recently and this video cleared some things up for me. Thanks!
This is my favorite Fox body channel. I love how they don't put down people with not a lot of money. I like how you say that you can have fun any budget.
Another great video. You inspired me and I bought a clean 92 gt with low miles. Let the fun begin!
Short and sweet, killed it!
You never cease to amaze!!! thanks!!!
Well 2 week off work quarantine started yesterday!! So let there be wrenching!! Great vlog their bro!!
Not a Ford guy but DANG the 90s GT's look so sweet with Thunderbird SC wheels
MrFluffysteel: You are correct, thank you for the info!
@.49 ALWAYS maintenance on these cars. More the mods.. more the maintenance A+
Hey bud thanks for doing these kind of videos where you share your wisdom with us it's greatly appreciated
Thank you 🙏
This could easily be a most common mods video. Great content.
Don't sleep on that Explorer intake manifold. MM&FF did a comparison between the tubular GT40, the Cobra, and the Explorer. There were only a few Hp between them so there's no real difference. For the money the explorer intake is hard to beat.
Hopefully CZcams lets this stay up:

I have an explorer intake on mine and love it
just FYI...... Baer brakes makes full brake systems, 4 and 6 piston calipers for four lug cars. They're not cheap but they work.
Matching golf shirt .lol
When my 86 was basically stock (92 MAF engine and T5, exhaust) it had 3.73's, I think those are perfect for stock dailies with a manual. Really wakes them up and still has great highway manners.
I agree. I had 410's on my 86. Now on my 85 GT vert I have 373, long tubes. Love both cars.
🐎really a beautiful car, and your knowledge is on point.
Great info!
Brakes are necessary IMO. These cars have notoriously weak brakes, especially considering how fast they can get. You wouldn’t know until you’ve driven an upgraded car. These are light and quick with no nannies that can hurt inexperienced drivers. Safety first!!
Yeah the brakes are SCARY! You can get by in the country, in modern suburban/city traffic, no.
Honestly I'm starting to notice that new regular cars stop like sports cars from 20 years ago. And its fun to have a car that can stop on a dime, it's a thrill in itself.
Your car looks like a real 93 cobra. Great work my foxbody friend.
Definitely loved this video , one of my favs ! As far as modding a fox my first 🦊 had exhaust and Cold air intake an that's it... The mustang I have now has a top end kit and wow alot more fun to drive not gonna lie. Not the fastest car but very fun to break the tires loose😁
Side note- I have hyper pistons (1993) 😭 an at the time had no idea about mustangs 12 years ago.
Very helpful now i know i have forged piston in my 87 coupe
I love videos like this 👌
“I’m not going to be responsible for when you blow your stuff up!” 😂😂😂 great informative video! My car has everything (or close) to what you suggested 😁👍👍 oh but I still need a toolbox 😂😂
Do the shirt match the car or the car match the shirt we will never know🤯🤯🤯
Got a survivor 1987 GT I can’t bring myself to mod. Guess I’ll just have to get a second one to hang go fast parts on. Great content.
Themadgreek80 I have the same problem have a bone stock ssp Notchback that I can’t mod also looking for a second Notchback or lx hatchback to mod the hell out of.
Damn, that’s a nice shot and specimen of a car.
Alsome video. Learned alot of new stuff.
Great video.
Great video. Thank you for sharing what takes a lifetime to learn. If we has these videos when we were younger we'd a save alot of monny
I daily drive my Fox Body. Now for over 10 years. Love it have big plans on the build with my son. Looking to build the chassis and suspension to handle a pro charged 7.3l ford engine.
@BREW2L Absolutely love everything you've done so far. The car is looking amazing. My only complaint is the ride height in the rear. It sitting too low compared to the front. I don't recall if you're running the isolators or not, but if you're not I'd consider putting them back on to even it out. The offset with the spacers is on point, but my OCD is kicking in with the rear tire so tucked and the fronts not. Keep up the great work and keep these videos coming.
It’s just the way it’s sitting in the yard. It sits almost perfect on level ground.
Man this car is beautiful!!!!
Your mustang looks very nice 👌 love the color head lights and front seats 93 cobras are big money God bless 🙌
I had to give you the badges as I knew you could handle the hate better than me, LOL. Build a clone huh? I think I got that, but still gotta make it run.😁
I recommend getting clear headlights and getting LED’s
I just cut my springs for the first time. So easy and a simple mod.
Nice video! A lot of great information! Do not use spacers on the rear of the car!!
This is the exact foxbody set up i like.
Thanks for your advice on what gears I should have
Youd be correct with the Anderson N41 working with stock bottom ends as long as not an 86 or older bottom end. We also have the N412. People can call me at Anderson Ford Motorsport if they got cam questions.
What cam are you running Donnie?
It was a comp cam already in the short block when I got it. I can't remember the exact number off the top of my head. If I was to do it all over again I'd do the Anderson B31 or B31HR
Donny B gotcha, that’s the same cam I’m looking at if I go back into the engine.
@@BREW2LFOXBODY if you decide you do hit me up and I can help you out there
Can you do a video on installing tints. I just bought a roll and are about to do my gt vert’
Ya I like my shirt and glasses to match my fox. Hahaha. Love the channel
Bro!! Your shirt matches the car! You know I am a fan, great vid!
Lol in person it doesn’t match, but on camera it’s very close.. 🤣 thanks brother I appreciate it 🙏
@@BREW2LFOXBODY do you install active exhaust and headers for 2018-2019 mustang GT
I would get an under hood paint protector to keep the heat off of your new paint
It’s coming👍
Thanks to lmr and other companies like them there are way more 4 lug options than their used to be back in the day. In the early 2000s when I first got my first fox the 4 lug options were far and few between and alot of guys would go 5 lug for that reason alone plus you can do sn cobra brakes which is a huge upgrade on fox cars. But nowadays with the options in 4 lug wheels and stuff it isn't as big a deal staying 4 lug. I would just run drag wheels on my fox if I had one today and you can get those in 4 lug. Can't go wrong with drag lites lol.
I daily drive a 1989 GT with 165k. Acquired in 2009 with 70K. Was woman owned. It’s been across the country 3 times including Bonneville, desert, and Rockies. Done nothing to it by necessity other than scheduled maintenance and a TFI module. Previous to that I had a 1989 LX. Daily’d it 100k to work 3 hrs and only replaced a fan, wheel cylinder, and a clutch cable. At 200k shell rusted away. These cars are very reliable and you do not need to be a ratchet-head if you buy a clean low mileage, well maintained car from someone older...as opposed to a beater purchased from a kid. The Fox is no worse than any used car of that era. Rust, heater core, fuel pump, computer, TFI module, and fan are the only items that should be of concern...unless you want A/C. If you held a gun to my head, I wouldn’t buy the car featured in this video. Buy a stocker right down to the intake silencer. Pay the extra cash. IMHO these cars are best left alone. Mass air, pulleys, mufflers, and suspension bushings are as far as you should go to preserve reliability. If you want to go fast, buy a new GT. The Fox chassis is an unstable archaic death trap. You’ll be into for the price of a new car before you get it right.
I have a 82 4 eye 5.0 gl. Aluminum heads , air gap edler intake, exhaust BBK shorts headers 2.5 exhaust and howards rattler cam 501 lift and 650 holley brawler.. Love it fun . Simple street. Stock bottom end.
If you don't own a tool box you don't what a foxbody. That does harsh. My 1st one i got, was 5yr old with 12k on it. That was one of the most reliable cars i ever had. Did have an AOD issue but it was under warrenty. That was the 2nd Ford i ever owned
I always say that your Cobra clone is amazing. I loved your car. I always loved your videos. I was looking forward to getting a new Mustang GT. But now, I want to challenge myself into a 94 to 98 GT. I just gotta found one for a good price.
I think a 96-98 2v would be a fun build. Go with ported pi heads and intake and a nice set of cams. Using the pi stuff on the npi engine gives about a 1 point bump in compression compared to an original pi car so you end up around 10.5:1. With a solid set of cams and good port work you can get up above 300 rwhp with the right supporting mods pretty easily with the stock bottom end. Not bad for an old 4.6 liter 2v. They sound delicious too. Plus those cars are some of the easiest cars to coyote swap if you ever wanted to go that route. That body style is underappreciated but looks sick when the right drop and a set of wide meats on em with a big lip on the wheels.
I may go that route. A 96 to 98 GT'S are still cheaper and still in good nick to found. I could do one just to experience a 2 valve action. The other for a Coyote swap! Those would be great project cars for me.
Hey! I just saw your video! Loved the info! Got a question for you. What do you think of the cobra intake for an AOD? It’s a daily driver with 4.10s magnaflow catted x pipe and flowsmaster 40s. Want to just be a quick street car and nothing else. No boost. Keeping it NA. May not go for heads, but have bbk shorties as well, forgot you mention that. Everything else though, is bone stock. Would like to make at least 300hp to the crank. Am not going to buy heads or rockers anytime soon cause am broke. Also, I have a transformer shift kit for my rebuilt AOD. Is the AOD shuffle possible with that kit? Heard that it won’t destroy the transmission. What do you guys think?
Man I love these cars but they’re nothing but trouble in California, got my coupe impounded and have gotten several tickets in it. They hate loud exhaust and everything has to be “Smog Legal” ... Had to sell the coupe still got my 85 GT hatch but I can’t catch a break. Really wish I had a complete stock foxbody with only gears sometimes. Fuck California
lol what city do you live in ? Did you get reffed?
Jordan Shepard you are not alone. It’s what made me click on this video
Looks like you did a bit of a wire tuck. Did you use some type of chassis saver on newly made holes or were you able to use all existing holes?
Any old car you need to know how to work on them, also if you are going to buy one get it for a dry state.
Msd ignition system...and if you want like the bumper that sticks out on the clone..dont buy a 4 eye...cause I'm not having luck finding that style for a 4 eye.2 keep my car as a 4 eye.
Great video with good information, but I can't believe that you didn't mention full length sub frame connectors. That's the first mod I did to my fox and it is the best mod that I have done. 😁
Im gonna give you some shit, you can buy lowering springs cheap in 2020, dont cut springs, thats an old school thing, anderson cams gave me the info on the phone , but they used to hide the info, love watching the channel keep it up👍👍
Dont forget, when you are ordering from LMR or Amazon to click the links above. Every little bit helps!
I used to daily a Yugo! Was my first car in 1996
There is somebody from my generation that knows what Yougo is.
LOL nice!
Brew2l. Where did you get the spacers? I havent been able to find any for 4 lug. Are they the spacers or the adapter spacers? Also on the cobra clone do you have spacers all the way aroubd or just the back? I have 8 inch wide cobra rs and i want them to look more flush
Fox rocks!
Bought my 1990 GT Convertible in 97 had 24,000 miles now its got 207,000.00 still stock except for a cold intake and caster camber plates.And I
Put a set of Eibach lowering springs
I’ve be buying every fox body in the world. Soon all of yours will be mine
Open headers sound good too😂😂😂
Naww😂
I would love to do a ssp clone
Thanks .I have a 85 g.t. 5gear.blew heater core on test drive.wrench time...
I llike your car. Colour
How much peak horsepower would you feel comfortable putting down on slicks at the track using arp wheel studs with the spacers ??
I know one thang can anybody ride in the back seat without tire rub or bottoming out with cut spring just wondering
Do you have any videos on 6al install...putting the box in the interior..
This thing needs some tint
I have a 86, hatchback and I am going to put 410 in it it's stock so I hope I am doing the right thing
What do you think of the Ford Motorsport “C” springs, instead of cutting the factory springs?
The C springs are not progressive rate. Check out the B springs (M-5300-B), which I am going to get soon.
Convertibles weigh more in the rear so watch cutting the springs a whole coil on the rear.
video made me sad. i really want one of these but literally have 0 mechanical knowledge. sucks to suck :(
Did you say Yugo? Have not seen one of those junkers in decade's.
What size tires are you running ?
Can you use a B cam on stock heads push rods and rockes
Where can I by one
I have an 88 fox on3 turbo with 373s and i hsve no first gear really i can start in 2nd, so you'd recommend 3.31s with a 5 speed? My 5th gear is so freaking high it's ridiculous
I’m liking the 331s in my car, Highway rpms are great too.
Thanks bud
If anyone has any ideas please help! I have a 94 5.0 and the rpms are hanging when I let off the throttle! Please help with any ideas before i chance the problem and start replacing sensors! I know the timing is off from last owner and I don't have a timing light to get it back to normal
410 gears transgo performance shift kit (auto) don't hate! Hooker headers flowmaster 40s cold air intake stock throttle body.

@@jimkaray ok thanks I wasn't sure if it would help because I'm not having any idle issues surprisingly. It's just holding rpms when I let off the throttle
nice oaks
Do you still have your sve cylinder heads??? If so how are they holding up??
Great so far!
A Foxbody will Make You Learn To Wrench lol Love it Or Leave It 👍🇺🇸🔧🔴🚘🔥🔥🔥
I wonder how many of your viewers had to look up what a Yugo was.😂
guilty
Wtf is a yugo lol
nice sunglases
If you're as far as changing heads cam etc, you should 100% tune your shit. Sure you can run without one, but you're leaving a lot on the table, these ecm's are really limited
I am hoping someone can honestly answer this question. I owned a 1988 5.0 GT Mustang Speed density air induction system. At what speed, this car gets sucked down, suspension system drops about 6-8"? due to the aerodynamics system and over-rides the power steering system? Since my speedometer in my car only went up to 85mph lol, I have no idea how fast I was going. All is that it took about 6-8 seconds for the needle to move off the pin after applying the brakes firmly . The pins is placed in the middle bottom about another 10-20 mph from the posted 85. I don't recommend just anyone trying to find out unless is safely done on the track with someone's else holding radar gun.I am hoping someone can honestly answer this question.
