The Nemesis (Fox Body Mustang)

[Buryingthesun]

So my fiance got bit by the bug, Unfortunately it was with a 4cyl 4spd drop top fox body mustang!

Her father has donated his absolutely clean and rust free 1990 Mustang LX convertible for the build. I am donating a gen IV aluminum 5.3 with 243 heads for the build.

The goals are to build her a street strip car, Not a ton of power but good enough for her to autox and drag race. Full LS swap and probably a 4L60E since she isn't keen on the manual set-up. SN95 5-lug swap, decent wheels and tires and a tubular k-member. I will also adapt SN95 coilovers from BC Racing into the car, maybe down the road do an IRS set-up in it.

For now the car will be know as "The Nemesis" My build will continue on my 67' Firebird and my 64' Rambler, busy busy household

More updates will come in once we get the car from Ohio to Connecticut. For now, here are some pictures.

Cool, another Fox!

When you get around to fitting the BC coilovers be sure to show how you do it. I've looked at their stuff after watching lots of Hoonigan videos, I wouldn't be opposed to running them in the future.

welcome fellow fox builder!

i would highly, HIGHLY recommend full-length subframe connectors to your list. i'd even consider them a must-have. foxes are wet noodles, verts are the worst.

IMHO i would only do the tubular k-member if required for your swap. bang for your buck, adressing the 4-link rear and converting it to some sort of phb or watts + torque arm/3-link should be high priority. really changes the characteristics of the car for the better.

You don't even need to swap out the k member for an ls swap now, Holley has that covered.

Subframe connectors were absolutely on the list. I was looking into swapping the solid rear out for an IRS system. But it sounds like she is more interested in a street cruiser and occasional bully on the highways or strip
