Pro touring foxbody wagon

About 2 weeks ago I bought a 1993 mustang lx, 5.0, 5 speed. Driving and shifting a 5.0 foxbody has inspired me to get the Daddywagon on the road. Much of what I bought was for a long rod 351 engine build. I decided to just get it rollin' with the 302 and have my 351 built while I enjoy it as is.

The plastidip is a shade bright but I definitely like the white.

Well, that pretty much sums up where I am. I have been working on it pretty steady the past couple of weekends. I have an optimistic goal of attending fords at carlisle which is the first week of June. Only minutes ago I ordered a new fuel tank to house my 255 lph walbro. I am gonna teach myself bodywork and replace a panel in the engine bay. Thanks for checking out my Daddywagon! More updates coming as I progress.

Cool build! Keep it going.

Cool build! Keep it going.

Thanks! Believe it or not I am wrenching now! Haha! There is now a gt40 tubular intake on top of that 1986 gt engine.

Workin' on it.

This project should be named "the family truckster"

love the project!

[wfo guy]

I like your project. This should be great fun and useful. About the time you wax some young guy in a Mustang, he's going to wonder what happened.

[nelzturingwagin]

Thanks!^^ To you both!

New fuel tank.

Those wheels are perfect for that car!

Thanks! I think so too! I may run them in black for a while until I can get them powder coated.

Very cool build, love the wagons!
I can't imagine doing what you've done in a driveway. You sir are a badass.
(I'll admit I'm spoiled working in a garage.)

Thanks! Maybe someday I'll have a garage. I probably should have moved on from here 10 years ago, but I really can't complain. I like the stability. I'm not struggling to get by and I get to play a little. I don't like credit. I tell my kids when you use credit you are spending tomorrow's money today. I don't owe anything on the wagon! Haha! If I had a garage the family would hardly ever see me!

Totally reminds me of late 90's/early 2000's in my driveway. I even had a fairmont wagon which i ended up giving away. My Fox body weapon of choice was a 91 Lincoln Mark VII which terrorized the streets in so flo for a few years. Miss those days. You cant have more fun cheaper than a Fox body. If you have any Ford build questions, feel free to PM me. Not much I haven't done back in the day with these.

Love the wheels, btw. Totally nailed the look. Just a motor tip, as cool as it looks, that GT40 intake is slowing you down. The flow on them is crap, even ported. Find a used Holley Systemax II intake and run a 75mm tbody/75mm mass air and stock 5.0 air box that seals to fender. Will support about 450hp at crank, no problem.

I will definitely look into the intake! Thanks! My plan is to run a stock airbox, so we're good there! Thanks again!

I was peeling off the plastidip and stumbled on this look!

Send me your motor build spec-heads/cam/size/compression. I will tell you what tricks that will wake it up. You can make big power out of a SBF if you know what you are doing, for cheap.
