t-tops in a coupe, i have never seen this done before, im not a big fan of t-tops but it does look sweet on a coupe, very nice build way to think out of the box.

Some of the four eye coupes came from the factory with t-tops.

Impressive progress on a nice swap.

Next is the tranny crossmember modification

What is your plan of attack?

 

[Svt Fox]

Probably just going to make a tubular one.what do most people do? Also should I just get a sn95 drive shaft? That's what I was going to do.

I modified my own so I could retain stock mounting location, where the crossmember mounts to the chassis.




I am using a 96 cobra driveshaft. Went in with no issues.

Nice pics! Will definitely have to check this out in person some time. How hard was your hydro-boost conversion?

 

[Svt Fox]

Ok you talked me into it. Would a 97 gt automatic drive shaft work? I know the splines are the same 31 just not sure on the length.

I believe the yolk will work, I am not sure on the length though. I would double check to make sure before you purchase it.

The hydroboost was super easy (as long as the engine is already out)! All you have to do is drill the lower left hand hole ( if you are under the hood facing the firewall) and it will plop right in!

The steerin lines on mine bolted right up to the stock rack. You'll have to do some modifying to get the stock fox lines to work with the hydroboost's distribution block/proportioning valve.

X2 on svt fox, its a easy mod and cheap, the tubular kit is like 150.00 bucks, i done my like his but i am running a tremec 3650 so i had to modify his design a bit to fit my tranny but it still was easier than hit my wallet for 150 lol. If your running a 3650 check my build posts and there is a few pics of how i done mine very similiar to svt's but just a bit different.

very nice build

 

[87_notchfox]

i put the full abs on mine

 

[87_notchfox]

oh...well i wanted a everyday driver and the extra pounds from the abs lol

 

[Bill]

Nice
I I'm going autocrossing with this car don't really need abs just need to be able to adjust the brake pressure.

If you autocross without ABS, you are either an absolutely incredible driver, have serious flat spots on your really expensive tires, or get beat bad. Granted, some clubs have special catagories for cars without ABS, but most don't. Even with ABS, you can adjust the bias to take full advantage of the work you've done to address the weight distribution inballance of the typical Mustang chassis. I would urge you to talk to Steeda, Maximum Motorsports, Griggs or Kenny Brown about being on track without ABS. It can be done, but it is very expensive to learn.

You will definitely have fun. If you club has a Fox or vintage class, you will kick ass and draw a croud.
