Finally got a fox
Ive been browsing around the forums for about a month now and have been looking for a fox for a while. I finally found a one that i picked up today. A black 1992 LX with 99k on the car, 10k on a 347 stroker. I was planning to find a nice stockish mustang but all i could find was beaters. I paid $4,500 for the car. The paint is brand new, nice rims, fairly new tires, and the interior is pretty nice. Ill get some pics up tomorrow! Its definetly going to take some getting used to, but it hauls ***!
This is what the seller told me it has, how does this all look?

Fluid crank dampner
Edelbrock aluminum heads
Crane 1.6 Roller lifters

BBK underdrive pulleys
HRP headbolts
Edelbrock intake
30psi injectors
70mm MA, 70mm throttle body
BBk headers, doesnt say what kind of 2 1/2" exhaust.
Crane 2000 ignition
Aluminum driveshaft w/ HD joints

Tremec 5 speed
Hurst short throw shifter
Auburn locking w 3.27
Auburn HD axles
Suspension:
BBK sub-frame connectors
BBK torque arm
BBK rear lower control arms
BBK chrome shock tower brace
Its got a whole list of other little things also.

You damm sure can't build it for that. I am living proof of that . I have 4500 tied up in my car and 347 build and I am no where hear close to having it done. Consider yourself lucky to make such a deal.

[sm=boohoo.gif][sm=hail.gif][sm=jawdrop.gif]You have got to be kidding me. I have almost the exact same set up in my car and to date I have spent around $10,000 dollars from the front of the car to the back and I still have to paint it. LUCKY MFer

RE: Finally got a fox
The driveshaft i havent checked but everything else is just like it says on the list he gave me. I cleaned up the car today heres some pics. Im having a suspension problem though. You cant really notice from the pics, but the car sits a little crooked, towards the left. The left side is about an inch lower than the right. Also, the front tires tilt inward and its causing the inside of the tires to wear. The suspension does seem kind of mushy, could i need new springs?
Also, does anyone have an estimate to how much horsepower it could be putting down? Im curious.
