well tonight i got engine on stand n all painted up . but earlier today i replaced all gaskets except head gaskets . put new oil pump and new timing chain in it as well figured it would be a good idea to do . and i bout sht when i priced the stuff . my engine is out of a 88 but i priced parts for 95 seeing how thats what year my car is i figured it all would be same n same prices and what a shocker ... timing chain for 95 was like 87.99 and oil pump was round same price so i was like wtf so jus went ahead n said ok price for 88 motor n LOT cheaper. timing chain was 27.99 for double roller and oil pump was like 25 i think . so went that route

the ONLY differences between out motors and the fox's are:
timing cover / water pump assembly
cam is slightly less aggressive
our ECU is FAR superior to the A9L
IPS on the tranny is ~ 5/8" longer as is the bearing reatiner
^^^ obviously the bellhousing is different too...
acces. brackets
rear end is about ~1" wider
5 lug wheels
4 wheel disc brakes
and fox exhaust parts will NOT WORK!!!!!!!
