As an old petrol head of almost 70yo, its great to see your technical progress in the shop and ability to spanner your own car........ Dad n mom are proud i am sure, because were you my son, i would be proud.!!!! Well done Kyle
I'm a Chevy guy first and foremost but I do like Ford and Mopar. The last drag car I built was a 94 SN95 and like you said, the suspension on those cars just work and they are super easy to work on. There's so many parts available for the Foxbody, why wouldn't a person build one? Those struts you took off are stock struts, only the springs are QA1 and there are way better caster/camber plates on the market...
Only the springs and the spring preload adjuster is qa1 that is a factory strut buddy I literally have the exact same ones on my car that's actually coilover conversion kit that utilizes the stock strut
@@joshkirkwood9379 Wow, i had no idea. Never messed with anything other than the legit aftermarket coilovers on other peoples cars so i didn’t know that!
Might want to doublecheck that. I figured they were Lakewood 90/10 struts with the QA1 spring and some other company's coil over conversion sleeve and caster/camber plates. Lakewood has always been bright red, and has been the go to for inexpensive Fox chassis drag shocks and struts that just worked.
I have the Afco big guns on my fox body. Sbf and a 500 shot of nos! It’ll do the deal! The changes you just made to your car are gonna be a huge improvement for your 60’. Limiters on the front will help keep it down too. I run radials on mine and those parts are mandatory pretty much. Cool video man
It’s actually called a McPherson Strut Suspension, long long time Ford fitment, English Rootes (Chrysler), my Plymouth Duster Drag car has had the Torsion Bar suspension replaced with McPherson Strut QA1 in its tube chassis here in Australia.
Glad to see you put a grommet in the hole you drilled, but you need to protect the wires that are coming through the hole in the wheel wells on the left and right sides behind the tires.
Back in the day in town when I raced n didn't want anyone to kn I had Nitrous I hooked it to my horn button lol. Just unhooked the horn n used a clip n wired in the factory harness 😂
Very good Kyle. You did an excellent job seal of approval from the team at our shop Simpson motorsports. Only one thing left to do get rid of the max cha cha music.
Going under dash aint bad for young man. Now add +30 years and +100lbs to that, and you need plan how to get up from there or its yell help or call 911 if can reach phone. 😁😁
I agree with this 100% but I'm not technically old yet I guess. I'm 30 and getting under the dash sucksss. As soon as I get up under and in there my back immediately starts aching and takes me a few minutes to build up the strength to get back up. I'm not "old" by years I've been alive but damn I feel like about 25 years older than what I am. I've inherited my dad's health issues. Also my mother having cancer four times in her life has me at high risk. So cancer, diabetes, bad joints, smoking along with breathing in the smoke and fumes from welding everyday. I had to weld up MILES of fencing that was all pre-galvanized so welding that galvanized material screwed my lungs permanently and have scars all over from the gnarly burns I got from sparks and splatter. I don't see me making it past 65 🤷
Im 42 , and I have many , many, many hours of runtime on my body.. To the point where I am broken... If I fall, I literally can't get up without assistance... Karma for laughing at Mrs. Fletcher on the life alert commercials loo
The single piece headlights look a lot better, Kyle. Thanks for sharing your content with us. Good luck, can't wait to see you guys testing. Will be driving the Camaro any during the upcoming tests?
@Motorsportkyle that's what I have SC1 heads from Chapman with titanium intake valves and inconel exhaust valves dart iron eagle block callies's crank and rods diamond Pistons and Jose got me a 94 mm turbo forced inductions and a Holley dominator add a turbo 400 trans rossler this is a new build should be done next year I can't wait. I'm glad you're a Ford guy. Even know that I like all American muscle I'm just proud of America
I know you're on board with motion but not sure if you know on the Ford side there's a aldowelds catch can it has a large reservoir billet and two vents. Really a supreme product. Check it out. I'm also waiting for you to get tired of that. The old Ford motor and go modular with a coyote that would be awesome
I do the same thing on my truck. Little 50 dry shot to help spool my turbos on the 2 step only. Really helps for my foot brake application. I also have it shutting off based on boost pressure as well so I can leave on what psi I want within reason.
Kyle, I'm so excited for you and to see how these mods actually help times on the track. I'm hoping this allows you to hit the track more often and it be more reliable. Question to all, How does the front suspension help with wheelies? Isn't it the traction and force exerted by the rear wheels/suspension, traction bars and twisting of the rear axle, that lift the front end off the ground? Just a Non drag racer here just trying to understand.
If they have never drove one they have no idea I have a 98 SVT Cobra it's a 4 valve 4.6 I have put cams in it a fuel system on it vortex supercharger exhaust gear rear end build the transmission springs and struts it's one of the police most hated around here only bad thing is the police know it so well by the look of it that I've only been able to get like 31,000 me put on it in 16 years they want to try their luck every time
Yeah it’s the end of the season and my car is almost ready. It’s been drivable all summer but I didn’t max out my pro charger because all I had to do is put my boost and fuel pressure gauge in so I know what’s going on. So I just got all that done over the weekend and it turns out the MAP sensor is bad. The gauges have been sitting on my bench since august. Auto meter are sending me a new one. SBC 409 with a carb F1R PC. Im your pops age and it’s my first time playing with boost. It’s my first build since the 90’s when I wrecked my beautiful 78’ Trans Am that I built. I’d still have that bad boy if I didn’t make a very stupid mistake! I fishtailed out of a parking lot and left the trans in drive instead of first like I did for the last 10 years I drove. Well when it shifted I lost control and got broadsided. The passengers door was touching my center console. It still kills me! That car was straight as glass, the paint was a little faded, that’s it! It was the trick edition I think they called it. Hmm now I can’t remember but it sucked! So I raised my girls and built a nice 84’ Monte SS. The G body shuffle is good nuff
Curious if that is enough capacity in them catch cans. Kinda surprised you Don t just have a large capacity custom tank plumbed to the rear of the car.
Did you put a blow down tube off your bottle? Most NHRA tracks require it when you have nitrous. I’ve seen a bottle blow off in a car and it destroyed the inside of the car.
@ proud of you and your dad even though I haven’t met you, thanks for sharing your experiences and expertise. Helps me not think of myself as a fool, but just a hard working American 🙂
@ I really like it, it’s got that drag wing look to it but more factory. Way better looking than the stock ones. Imma have to go with one of those on mine. Thanks dude! 👍
@@lianwalton9194 Not on small nitrous stuff. Theres multiple ways to offset fuel just using the EFI to correct. Something thats like 300HP+ of nitrous though i would imagine a fuel solenoid is needed.

Just curious, where are you from?
You are a Natural, Smart, well spoken young man.
Glad to see you put a grommet in the hole you drilled, but you need to protect the wires that are coming through the hole in the wheel wells on the left and right sides behind the tires.
Man that wiring is fine, there will always be new toys😊😊😎😎f anyone who has shit to say. Only 24 hrs in day, priorities.
Dont be afraid to setup that nitrous on the scramble button too🎉
“inconvenient that I have the shocks out” as dad walks by “struts out”

I always assumed your car had an LS in it. It's cool to see that it's a Windsor. Man gotta Fawd Motta in it.
I would also use a Ford motor in a Ford

The caster plates are old Steeda units
I want to thank you for signing that poster with your dad it's very much appreciated and great video keep them coming 👍
Can't wait for testing...keep living the dream ✨️
Some serious upgrades! Looking forward to seeing this car rip!!
My wiring looks like 1/2 eaten bowl of spaghetti but has hung in there for 10yrs,yours is fine,we will re wire some day
I love your philosophy. Mine looks like spaghetti too but like you said one day it will get rewired but it all works well

Thank you for being a Ford guy. You got to make a cleavor motor some c3 SC1 SC2 headed small block Ford 4-inch stroke crank.
Ive always wanted to build a cleavor, i have a set of SC1 heads and an intake i got a loooong time ago ive been sitting on. Maybe soon 🤔

Can’t wait for testing videos!!
It’s gonna be wicked!!
Awesome that your using a sbf and not ls. If it had an ls I wouldnt even waste my time watching.
Kyle, I think those are Lakewood struts that are converted to coilovers I have the same setup on my 3rd gen Camaro.
Kool, two toys,,, congrats..AUS viewer
Kyle and crew, y'all rock! Peace 🤘
Damn man didn't know you had a channel nice !
Love the Stang. Hope it all works out. Will love to see more in the future

Boost fixes “everything” Nitrous fixes boost 😂😂
Now you have the fancy High-end head lights you should tint the tail lights
Great video kyle! Question? Why does pulling timing help build boost faster?
Oh I’m stealing the air trick on the strut nuts. I’ve never seen anyone do that before. 😂
Music goes great with Time-lapse

Glad to see the Morris shop going all in with the spray. What is with the sketch wiring in the pass side fender well😳
Go Kdog. Very good
Hey buddy, they are Lakewood struts. Most likely 90/10s. The coilover kit is QA1, and the caster/camber kit is an old steeda kit
Great content thanks for sharing
Appreciate you watching!
Now your shocks will match the paint scheme lol
Those front struts look like lakewood with a coilover sleeve and qa1 springs
Kyle a bunch of ty-raps for the dash wiring might help? 😏
I was about to say if you're not related to Steve im outa here! lol jk. stoked i found your channel man.
Kyle, we're not Ford haters. We're just sensible and realistic people😀

Race car yoga.
Your shocks matches the colour of your car keep them that’s bad ass. 😊
Haven’t seen a catch can, catch anything, but my money, ever. They got a money back guarantee?
If they work ill find out and believe me im not tied to them at all so it will be an honest review lol
Curious if that is enough capacity in them catch cans. Kinda surprised you Don t just have a large capacity custom tank plumbed to the rear of the car.
Should of taken some pics of your wiring so you could plan later your re wiring strategy.
Just curious do you not use a 3step table to help build boost on the brake?
Who throws away metal. Save it all up and take that shit to the scrap yard man...
No one will ever know the color of the shocks (sorry Steve, STRUTS) while they stare at your tail lights 😂
