So this turned out to be less fun than I thought it would be. I disassembled the doors and the cut the sections out of the inner and outer structures that I will used to adapt the Fox doors to the SN 95 interior panels. I also encountered some hack-work repairs and modifications done by the donor car's owner. I can't say that I haven't been guilty, but it would have been nice to fine virgin doors. I will have a great deal of trimming to do on the sections I cut, but at least I'll have plenty of metal to work with. now if I can just stop breaking saw blades, I'll be a happy camper.
Cadillac / Brembo brake upgrade
There is a great deal out on some of the other forums about using the Caddy brakes from the ATS and XTS (not the same calipers). Since a lot of our builders do upgrades on the cheap, I thought I'd throw this out there. There are a couple of kits on the market and some YouTube videos that show...

Picked up a pair of XTS calipers for $120 shipped. Pic and details in the link above.
Hoping to be back in build mode before too long
Picked up a body harness for a 99 Cobra Convertible this weekend. This should be so much easier than adapting one from a coupe. Pictures to follow

Pictures look sharp. I haven't done a coyote yet. I'm looking forward to seeing it go together.

theyre INCREDIBLY pricy. people want 2k for motors you dont even get to see run,
11-14 intake valves were too soft, i found a running f150 getting parted out has low compression on a single cylinder.
tuliped or sunken valve is commonly the culprit. valve spring compressor shows up Monday to find out.
im incredibly invested already. the first swap was an absolute MISSION.
but it was fun i learned a ton and i really like having insane aspirations throughout the winter lol.
originally i was gonna find a 4v as those are easily adaptable to the platform ive already built.
but boost is expensive. REALLY expensive.
and N/A coyotes put out like 400hp.
in 2 winters maybe i boost it, but i get dirty with 233 hp lmfao. i think 400 will amount to be plenty.
