New Ride & Tow Rig (Stroked/Blown Fox Content)

[z28th1s]

My wife recently had some extensive surgery. I decided to sell my Procharged '11 GT and pay off the remaining hospital and doctor's bills after insurance had paid their part.

I took the left over money and bought me a '93 GT Mustang and a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 EC 2WD truck to use to pull the car when I want to take it to the track.

The '93 GT has 52K original miles on it and has all original paint except for the 4" Harwood cowl hood. It is one of only 576 Performance Red GT hatchbacks built in '93. It is an original sunroof car and has the black cloth interior.

The car has a 500 mile 347 stroker motor built by MME Racing in MD. It has a 4 bolt Dart block, Trick Flow heads, custom blower cam, Reichard Racing billet upper intake, Kooks 1 7/8" LT's with a 3" O/R X-pipe and Flowmasters with turndowns and a Paxton Novi 2000 blower. The car made 528 RWHP & 470 RWTQ (SAE) shutting it down at 5,900 RPM's due to maxxing out the fuel system. The HP graph was still climbing and the car was making 11.8 pounds of boost when it was shut off.

The car has a brand new Tremec TKO 600 trans and a built 8.8 with 4.10 gears. It has extensive chassis and suspension work. It has a 5 lug conversion with Weld Pro Stars (15x3.5 and 15x8 with 5.5 BS) and 26x11.5x15 MT ET Streets on the rear.

I'm still waiting on all of the motor specs from MME and then I plan on upgrading the fuel system and install the smaller blower pulley that came with the car and see what kind of fun I can have with it! :banana:

The 2000 Dodge Ram is a one owner with 90K original miles with all original paint and even came with the original window sticker.

It has a 5.2 liter Magnum V8 with a rare 5 speed manual trans and has a 3.55 posi rear end. It is in excellent condition for the year and should make for a nice truck to work around the house and to take my car to the track with.

nice GT! i love my novi 2000 they give you plenty of room to grow and arnt obnoxiously loud.

Im sure its a handful already, but you need 2 255s pumps, half inch rails, and 60lb injectors. That and some meth will easily put you in 650 range.

Is that 11.8 psi with the stock 7 and 3.5 inch pulleys?

sweet, should haul some ass. Bringing it to O.C?

Thanks :beer:

I know it has the stock pulley on the blower because it still has the cover stating that if this is removed it voids your warranty, but I'm not sure if it has the stock crank pulley. I know the car is supposed to have a 255 in tank and a T-rex pusher pump. It has Seiman-Deka injectors but I haven't been able to verify what size. The car still has the stock fuel rails.

Thanks :beer:

I'm hoping after I get the fuel system upgraded that the car should run pretty good!! I won't be able to make it to OC.

nice. love hatchbacks.

Thanks :beer:

I had a Vortech blown 306 Scarlet Red '87 GT hatchback several years ago. I sold it to buy my first '03-'04 Cobra. I have really missed that car. This car reminded me of it and has some very good parts on it so I thought it would be a fun car!!

That is a sweet looking GT. Truck looks nice as well.

Damn that ram is clean. I don't know how you managed to fine two clean vehicles at once, but you are lucky. This doesn't seem far off from any of your old foxes: Clean, blown, and fresh paint. That car will run, and has a dart block to boot. Pulley down and let it eat!

 

[TBCobra]

SUPER clean fox!

Get Bugatti pumps for it. That's what I put in my Fox. They are pretty cheap as well.

Nice.

My cousin built one very very similar several years back. Even with the best subframes back then it would twist enough to pop the sunroof open on launch. lol

Thanks!! :beer:

I knew from talking to the owner of the Mustang that it 'should' be a nice car, but I was really pleasantly surprised at how nice the truck was. I bought it from a dealer in NC. The original owner traded it in on a 2012 Dodge Ram.

My wife said that I'm addicted to looking at cars on the internet, LOL!! I looked around quite a while for both vehicles and ended up buying them 3 days apart.

Thanks for the kind words on my old Foxes!! I have had quite a few (50+) over the years. The '93 reminded me of my old '87 Scarlet Red GT that had a 306, Vortech and a TKO trans. Out of all my Foxes I miss that one the most. I thought this would be a VERY fun car!! When I get the fuel system right I will put the smaller pulley on the car and see what it will do!! Here are a few pics of my old '87.

SUPER clean fox!

Thanks for the suggestion. :beer:

I will have to do some research on them.

The owner told me that they modified the strut tower brace to help support the blower bracket on the car because it was flexing some when they had the car on the dyno.

Gorgeous fox and I'm usually not crazy about gt's. Will be very stout once it's sorted out

Yes, the '93 is not near as refined as the '11 was but still a fun car none the less.
