    This looks like the car I have dreamed of building since I was a teen. This month I will be 53.

    Man I wish I had the time and money to spice up my 81. But I’ll enjoy it the way it is in the meantime. Keep car culture alive people. The man is doing his best to ruin it for the younger generation.

      You can do a Heads, cam, intake swap for around $2500

    So glad you guys didn't use your usual Walker mufflers. The Original 40 Series Flowmaster is the only muffler that belongs on any 302 based Mustang. Dumps are just icing on the cake. Great job!

    I haaaate to see a single plane intake on heads that fall off at 5500rpm, things gonna have no push out the hole and fall off before that intake does any good. Dual plane intake would be much more suited for that engine, but for free I guess I wouldn't complain haha.

      That was my first and still is one of my favorite mustangs. Such a higher quality interior, but not as raw and fun to mod as the Fox (my opinion)

    i found, especially with the long tube headers that a cross pipe can reall y help with the drone if your sending a lot of time on the highway. good old fashion round pipe about 3/4 size of the mains. just straight across, not an X pipe as they raise the pitch of the exhaust tone. i'd still balance the shaft for the sake of the extra couple dollars. is the manual pedal assembly same across the whole range of cars built on that platform? i want to do a conversion and curious if this could be an easy way to get one?

      79-93 pedal assemblies, automatic and manual are actually the same, obviously the manual assembly has an extra pedal and a tube plus the arm, but you can easily convert a automatic pedal assembly to a manual pedal assembly. You can buy a kit from here shiftsst.com/clutch-pedal-conversion-kit-1979-1993-ford-fox-body.html. You can also buy a used, complete set off of Ebay/Craigslist for about the same price or even cheaper. If you want to save a lot of money for just a pedal assembly, you could also go to your local junkyard and get a pedal assembly off of a 94-04 Mustang for $15-30, then swap the pedal arm and tube into the Foxbody pedal assembly that you would already have, the pedal will sit a bit higher than a foxbody pedal, but it will still work if you have budget in mind.

    Why is the world would you encourage people to shorten their own driveshaft.. even if all the welds are great there is no way it’s balanced and if it not it’s terrible for your rear end bearings and your transmission let alone what you feel. You can have your local shop cut it down for you and balance it for like $150-200

    • @williamhardes8081
      @williamhardes8081 2 роки тому +1

      only way i would have a go is if i had a lathe but even then i would still take it for balancing.
