[QUOTE="Venom351R, post: 16943205, member: 55267"] I picked up this 1993 Fox a few months ago with the plans of doing a full build on it .The car was originally sold in Alabama and then went to FL and I bought it from someone in CT who had it a short while. My main goal was to get a rust free fox and the overall rust condition of this car was very good, meaning none. Any issues the car had was not a concern as I was planning on changing so much anyway. Currently has a 306 with Trickflow 170 heads, GT40 tublar intake and Vortech V2 and a world class T5 and a Terminator X ECU system. While most would consider this "done" its definitely not what I had in mind. Coming from an 04 Cobra I couldn't settle for mid 400's for power to the wheels. So this winter the engine is coming out and I'll be selling off everything listed above and currently have a Dart SHP 363 stroker being built by woody at Ford Strokers, AFR 205's ( most likely a Holly Systemax Intake ) and all the forged stuff inside. I'll be running it NA for awhile until putting on an On3 Turbo kit later on. Also is getting a Tremec TKX First thing I did with the car was remove the way too dark limo tint all the way around it and removed the seats to put in a set of Corbeau A4's. The seats in it were not fox seats, I have no idea what they even came out of. I want to swap over to all black interior over the winter and currently have about 98% of everything needed to do so and was able to get the harder stuff to find.
