New guy from VA.

[schiffy]

What's up! I'm not a modfox guy, I'm actually dropping a Cobra 4V into my 98 GT. Got a really good friend who bought a mark VIII and yanked the engine, tranny, harness and ECU out.(it all sits in my garage!) He's looking for a clean fox to drop it in. Met Josh Taylor on facebook, saw his clean ass profile pic and figured him and this place was where my buddy and I needed to head to get some info and help, so here I am! I'm a misplaced Texan. Grew up in Houston, moved to Va 9 years ago after Navy bootcamp and still going strong. 11 years till retirement! My current '98 is my 5th mustang, I've had a '79, '99, '95, '92 and currently my '98. Married with 3 little boys and living the life!

I'm pretty good with the ole 302's and 351w's, still learning about these modulars! lol... My buddies swap should go a little easier than some since he has a complete headlight to taillight Cobra harness.

Hey Schiffy, Welcome to the boards.
I actually dropped a 98 gt drive train into a 91 Fox body. It just so happens I live in Chesapeake and retired from the Navy.

 

[schiffy]

Well, swap went well. Started about 530 last night and finished about 9 tonight. Drove it the 45min home without a problem. Got a few bugs to fix, like exhaust leak and a tune, but that's it!

I know it's not a fox, but my mod swap was a 2V to a 4V. My wife swung by and brought out my oldest son so he could help today. He approves. Haha

he also passed out in the car before we got home. lmao! Poor guy, he had a busy day!

 

[Roadhawg]

That is a lot of work in a short time. Looks Good!

It would be a good backup in case I kill this one. I forgot to ask how many miles are on it?

The 1/8 mile in Hertford NC, is open for 2 more weekends.
While people are shopping on Black Friday, I plan on making a few test runs.

 

[norfolknova]

Haha, sounds like fun. I had to work Veterans day so I have a holiday o float. I am going to use it Friday after Thanksgiving. Maybe I will drive down and watch some runs being made.

What time are they running

Matt

 

[Roadhawg]

No doubt it will be fun. Chris needs to get his 4v converted Mustang tuned so he can play too.

The SOHC has 158,000-ish miles. No leaks, didn't smoke, didn't tick or knock.
I don't have tires to go to the track on. These old dry rotted Nittos are like the wheels your 3 wheeler used to have as a kid. lol... I do need to get it tuned. Hoping to get that done later this week or early next week. She's running like a raped ape yesterday and today. Matt (norfolknova) and I are going to pick up a '98 explorer our buddy bought from my BMCS tomorrow. I think I'll let Matt drive the mustang home and see what he thinks...
