Default About to take on my most ambitious project yet...

Normally I spend my time in the SN95 - new edge forums, or tinker with modding S197's, but something sort of fell in my lap that has me taking on something I never thought i would do... a Full on FOX restore from a roller chassis.

More details to come and pictures as things move along, but some of where it will be going is as follows:

Built 302 Stroker
Battle Boxes
Full 8.8 Rebuild with 4.10s
The car will feature an SN95 new edge interior
Sub-Frame connectors

I am undecided on the trans, I did a T56 in my 02 5.4L Swap, but I am thinking of going AOD on this build.

Any suggestion would be welcome since this is my first Fox since 1993, and considering the chassis

What are your end goals with this build ? Street, Strip, Show ?

Should be a fun build no matter what, good luck and I'll be following this just for moral support lol.

Sounds like a great project.

If you could bolt up the new 6 speed automatic you'd love it.

Actually building it for my wife, I have cornered the market on toys in our house with my 04 Mach 1 and my 02 5.4L Swap, and my 99 Dodge Ram Sport 1500 project, so I promised her a toy....

As far as end goal, probably a show car, my 5.4L will be the track car, and my mach 1 is my show, so she needs a show car as well, when we met she wasn't into the car thing too much but in the two years we have been together she has been coming along and enjoying the fun.
