Ok, here's the story: I've built several 302/351 fox bodies but never a modular swap so now I think it's time I do.
Here's what I have:
I followed the progress on another build and swapping from a late model mustang to a Fox seems pretty straight forward. All engine and dash wiring swaps over easily, dash fits with minor modifications, the K-Member bolts in after notching out the bolt holes, if I remember right the 98 already has the HydroBoost set up from the factory but I could be wrong, and the axle will bolt in but is slightly wider than a fox bodys.
My question is this: what are the PARTICULAR or SPECIFIC things I'll need to look for, swap, and/or purchase?
My goal is to have as much if not everything I need before I get started. Any help, tips, advice and freebies would be greatly appreciated. Once I get going on the swap I'll take a ton of pics and probably start a build thread.
Here's what I have:
- Car #1 is a 1988 GT, rust free, straight body, crap interior, stock worn out 5.0 and T-5 tranny. The car is solid and has never been in an accident (the front frame rails are perfect, so nice).
- Car #2 is a 1998 GT (2V engine = booo) with 120k miles, 5 speed, nice black leather interior, bone stock and hit in the rear. The car got sideways and hit a brick mailbox, caving in the right rear quarter panel between the door and the rear wheel. Picked it up for $1500 and it runs and drives perfectly.
