has anyone put a 4.6 3v in a fox yet?

[3vfox]

I have a 3v motor out off a 07 gt 5spd with trans wiring harness and computer. wondering what i would need to do to put it in a 93 lx.

Shouldn't be that hard either.. I am doing a 4v to a 88 GT. I am researching the harness now.. Will post more info..

Thanks.

I bet the easiest way would be with 2v ecu and a cable tb.

 

[3vfox]

i will look into that. would i be able to use the stock fox k member or do i have to use maximum or aje k member.

 

[modularf]

We used aftermarket K-member and it seemed to line up.. Not sure what brand we have will post more info and pics..

You could also use UPR, I am a dealer, or, I beleive with some light modifying, a 96-up sotck K.

But if you've ever seen a mod motor, you'll have no desire to use a stock K.

you can also look at latemodelrestoration they are doing a build with a 3v in a fox body. only issues are headers, since they are a bit different on 3v, and they used stock sn95 k member

I would have loved to use a stock k member just to keep the factory apearence. Didn't want to hassle with fabing anything. i went with AJE with spring perches. Havn't installed it yet so couldnt say to much..

I'm doing it right now. Scott at late model restoration put one in a fairmont that turned out very nice. Im using the same set up that he did for mine.

Here's write up on Latemodel Resotorations Supply site of a 3V in a Ford Fairmont- somewhat educational with some of the problems they ran into. Hope it helps!

No it isn't...

 

[3v89lx]

iam going to be doing this swap soon i hope the 5r55 trans will fit in the tunnel.

 

[ModFoxMustangs]

3v89lx, been looking around for the 5r55 trans swap and not many have done it.. Maybe you should be the first...

 

[3v89lx]

i may have to take it to a shop for it to get installed booo dont have a place to work on it and then plus all the wiring i have never done that before so tht part ill leave to the pros even if i do the whole swap exept the wiring
