My first 5.0 i could lift em just a couple inches, 400 n/a rwhp witha 410 gear super sticky slicks, super sticky pavement, no interior, drag suspension, and not caring if sh*t breaks!

But i agree with doing h/c/i, 410, suspention, slicks, and a WHOLE lot of nitrous, that should do it (but you still might break sh*t)
Have fun.

ha. just a thought, but i guess you could use 90/10 shocks in the rear and the same in the front but flip em. i guess one my buddies insturctors did it and it was a crazy ride. def not for the street though and to be honest i dont think it would be a good idea at all. its was just one of those ideas i had to throw it out there

Ok so we have stablished yet again how to make a fox lift but how about an sn95
Think full suspension will get it with an hci

That's what I was thinking.
I'd love for my SN95 to lift the front wheels up with HCI, slicks, 4 cylinder springs, struts/shocks, and weight reduction.
Other wise I wouldn't mind picking up this 99 camaro Z28 shell for cheap...

I saw on Speed, I think, that showed lots of guys gettin the fronts off the ground. Not a lot of power involved. Just hydraulics. Just put in low rider hydraulics and bounce it up! Wouldn't that be weird, a Fox body low rider!

I wouldnt use 4cyl springs from a fox your car may be to much weight for them. I would just buy some ford racing lowering springs they only cost $180 I plan on getting some this winter.I guess you could try 6 cyl springs from an SN95 that may lower it a little buy I dont know by how much since mod motors tend to way a little more.
