there is a warehouse in my area that has them in the crate for $6000.00 wires and all....but the catch is you have to know somebody that works there that knows somebody that is screwing the boss.

There are many things that you would have to change. Check other forums because I know there are alot of tech sites on doing this. Also, you will need a different k member, etc. (I think)

How'd the hell they fit an sn-95 interior and dash and center console into a Fox body?
I would love to do that. that looks tight as hell. Really sick of the cheap-o interior
in my car.

for the hassel and cost it's really not worth it, unless you really just set on having a "unique" car.
you could drop a 351 with s/c in for about same money and put down 500+rwhp.
I love that interior though, thats super fly.
