Default Getting back into a fox. Need some help.

Welp after a long few yrs of not having a fox its time. I built my last one myself with the help of some buddies and Miller Lite. This time around id like to find a nice clean built fox. That i have to make a few small changes here and there. Here is a link for one I want to take a look at. My main concern is this combo he gives truly capable of this type of power. And the cam numbers he threw out just dont make much sense. I cant find that cam anywhere. Not with those numbers anyhow.

First, welcome to the forum....

Second, I'm assuming those cam specs are a misprint. Contact seller to verify

Third, how'd he fit a 10 cylinder in that engine bay ?

As you can see that ad is full of errors. But does look like a well built Fox.

Keep us posted....

Just found another error. Take a look at the dyno sheet. Says its from 2013. And it list a 05 Mustang on there. Something seems off about it. He did give me the engine builders number today so I can get the specs of the motor. We shall see. Found this one as well. Seems like a solid build. Pricy though.

He also states for the cam, 378 intake 605 exhaust. Those numbers are way far off..

Yeah, that second one seems a bit overpriced. I'm sure there's way more $$$ in that build, but you just don't get that money back. Your doing it the right way, shopping for one that's already done and you can drive with minimal headaches and walk away without the financial hit of building from scratch.

Good luck and enjoy the shopping.
