Dont you think you could have taken care of all that rust and at least freshend up the paint under the hood and on the motor, brackets, and pulleys?

But you have just pissed off many people with a GM motor in a Fox....

This car is a pile of carp..I basically got he engine and car for free...I really do not have the time or will to freshen everything up right now...my main intention is to just get it running...I'm not trying to **** people off.....my reasons for doing this go a long way back....

My favorite car is the Fox Mustang (85-93)....my favorite engine is the 350 from my 4X4 days...now I got both....I realize the car will never be worth anything...I don't really care...

I really don't understand why peole would actualy care...This car was just about hooked to a tow truck and hauled away to the scrap yard...at least is still survives in some form.

I agree and I NEVER said you pissed me off by doing this.... my DD is a Chevy. I am and will always be a GM 396/454 fan. Good save from the boneyard by the way and good luck with your project. I was just saying that some people on here are gonna bitch moan and complain about a GM motor in a fox.
