What a great survivor car... but so funny to see that given the numbers these cars made, they were the fastest thing on the streets back in the day... so cool.
Bought the same year make and model a few months ago. I shouldn’t have paid what I paid but love the possibility the car has. Shopping all LMR so far with my remodel/restore. I’m only two hours from LMR but really appreciate their customer service and fast shipping!!
Prices are crazy right now on foxes and I don't see them coming down. I wanted a coupe but had to settle for a hatch just to get one at a decent price.
just imagine if he does underdrive pulleys, K&N conical filter. Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. 24lb injectors, AFR 205 heads. E303 cam. 1.6 rocker arms. adjustable fuel pressure reg. BBK 190 LPH fuel pump. BBK 76 mm MAF meter. I would guess that it would make around 290 to 295 at the wheels. thats around 340 all motor. that car would run low 13s high 12s. my guess, Especially if he takes to the track in temple tx or up to Dallas.
You're like that little devil sit'n on my shoulder, telln me to mod a mint all orig '85 GT I'm look'n at buying LMAO ! #peerpressure Merry Christmas dude! 🎅👍
Nice run. Looks like my 91 LX but cooler with the 5 speed. AOD is ok but with the 2.73’s it’s a bit of a dog. 3.73’s coming soon. Thanks for the great content LMR
I just got a set of 3.73s from lmr as well for my 92 lx hatch. It’s a t5 with the factory 3.08s so it’s a little fun but can’t wait to get the 3.73s installed. You’ll probably see a huge difference in yours
These with 5 speeds dynoed 180 or 185 stock so these numbers are about right. The 70mm isn't doing much with a stock air intake and intake manifold. It will see alot of gains from engine mods because the exhaust is already freed up.
I still remembering arguing with my father in late 1990s about how I'm wasting my money working on the 302 and I need to just put a 351w in it. I never listened. Haha. I remember dynoing my 5.0 with every bolt on with trick flo heads, 278whp/ wtq 328. I gave up in early 2000s as no matter what I did to my 302 the LS crowd killed me. I miss the Old times...
Thank you for considering LMR for your parts. We're thankful to have you as a customer. Let us know if you have any questions on anything. Happy Holidays! -Landan
Thanks for the comment! The front wheels are 17x8". The rear wheels are 17x10". They will fit on a '79 Mustang. Because of the width of the rear wheel, you may have to clearance the inside area of the wheel well and roll the fender lip on the outside. -Landan

@@latemodelrestoration thanks again, I ordered the springs and isolators, can't wait to install them, it looks like I'm going to buy the 17" wheels and tires as soon as I catch them on sale. Don Prince
What 70mm throttle body is on the car? Iam looking to do a 70mm. But want to stay with ford throttle body. Also can I run a 70mm throttle body with 70mm mass air meter? Thanks Darryl
God I wish I could send my 2.3 to you guys to fix it. Not starting up after the starter messed up which messed up my flywheel after swapping out the warranty with autozone twice initial breakdown messed up 2 teeth 1st warranty swap the flywheel messed up the starter 2nd warranty swap starter messed up more teeth on the flywheel which also messed up the starter again now im on my 3rd warranty swap which was swapped after changing out the flywheel all starter swaps are duralast gold which is brand new not reman alternator is a 3G duralast gold as well which I upgraded from regular duralast to gold when the 1st starter messed up. So after the 3rd starter swap my car hasn't been able to start up its lagging like if its lacking power or from what my coworkers say it sounds like its not getting enough gas so i changed the fuel pump and also recently changed the crankshaft position sensor which after changing the crankshaft position sensor I was able to start it twice for a few seconds (while hooked to a charger/jumper which set to the jumpstart option). Ive also changed most of wiring to the starting/charging system which would be the wires to the starter and Alternator. For the battery though ive only changed the positive cable (the negative I plan on buying from you guys soon). Also I plan on getting the MAF sensor soon as well.
@@Sheehy223 lmfao I wish I had the money for that 😂 I actually have a friend who wants to give me a 5.0 off a crown Vic I think but I need a transmission for it but idk I kinda wanna keep it a 2.3 because I do wanna get A 5.0 GT hatchback as well. The fox body i have is a convertible LX
Might make more power if you guys used the correct fuel. 9.5:1 compression does not need 93 octane. Seems a little weak unless the engine has high miles.
If the timing is advanced then 93 is needed and knowing these guys the timing is advanced.. The cars power is actually fairly high for a bone stock engine..the car is running great
@@eriv4735 I've had no issues running 89 in my Fox at approximately 14 degrees base timing, and that's with GT40 heads, Cobra rockers and an E cam. I was running 91 for a while but when I switched to 89 since gas is so obscenely expensive now the car actually seemed to have a little more low end. I've heard a lot of the same from people on forums although god knows how many are completely talking out of their ass.
I’d go with 1.7 rockers with the stock heads otherwise it will lose bottom end power and never be able to see the usable power up top..a cam is a waste with stock heads
Great Dyno Fellas! All that torque combined with those 3.73 gears makes for a fun ride! Love them 5.0 Foxbody Mustangs!! 💯👊🏾
Same here. I feel like I need to pick one up and build
What a great survivor car... but so funny to see that given the numbers these cars made, they were the fastest thing on the streets back in the day... so cool.
If you build them, they will run.. ;)
It needs some timing 🤣 my brothers 94 GT made 240whp with 16° base timing and a GT40 intake, rodded out stock cats and straight through mufflers

@@latemodelrestoration I need interior colors for this 1984 LX Vert 5.0 ua-cam.com/video/9n6msQPQpNs/v-deo.html who makes that color blue?

Big difference with 3:73’s. Now I can chirp 3rd with brand new tires lol.
Heads cam intake would be a great start.
Yea, I agree. I'm a big fan of the trick flow H/C/I kit.
4.6 cobra swap
Best sounding 200 hp ever

You needed a 347 And some AFR heads. :)
Father knows best, you should have listened to him.
WHEN YOU SAY THE LS CROWD KILLED YOU. HOW BAD DID THEY BEAT YOU? GIVE ME A EXAMPLES OF YOUR RACES.
Why miss the old times when GM was dominant? Nowadays you can build a Coyote, Godzilla, or stroker SBF to whoop a LS or LT.
Nice not bad at all!
Good stuff LMR!
Very cool 😎
190-195 to the rear wheels in current configuration. Edit: Pleasantly surprised!
Awesome job👏👍 keep education

4 lug wheels will hold you back
I'm saying 217 280tq
Update..I was close..lol..
This guy says the car is "bone stock", then proceeds to list at least 4 significant upgrades to the vehicle. Smh.
Lol. I caught that too. The term he's looking for is "mostly stock" :)
What size tires on on the front ?
255/40/17 Nitto NT555 G2 Tires
Bone stock except for an exhaust system suitable for a procharged 347.
Put a 347 in it.

308 🎉final with a 5 $PEED
I’m thinking 210/275…
Close lol
I was thinking 210/285. I think we needed an extra degree of timing lol
