[QUOTE="mdoan, post: 9662117, member: 44126"] If you are swapping over your equipment (and doing the work yourself), I wouldn't even consider doing a fox. They're great if you start with them and upgrade with fox parts, but it is astonishing how much interconnectability Ford built into the mustang from 94-04. Parts for older cars are more difficult to track down, and being able to bolt in 03/04 parts into a 97 is a no-brainer for me. Not to mention Ford experimented on our cars throughout the years, so going aftermarket isn't always necessary if you have an SN95 - Ford has already done the engineering/reliability work to make higher-quality parts available. Example: I just ordered an 03/04 Cobra-specific steering rack - with improved ratios, valving, and feel - to replace my 97. It's a 100% bolt-in, as good as any aftermarket power steering setup, and I don't have to deal with the headaches brought on by aftermarket reliability issues. Our cars are far more "modular" than most give them credit for, and it has made keeping mine running so much easier than it could've been. I say go with the SN95 and don't look back; 94-98's are still very light pre-IRS, it's not difficult at all to get down to 3100lbs and lower, and you can still have most of the factory street amenities.
