I'd of went with cast steel crank, forged crank is an utter waste in a stock block, block will go long before cast steel crank does and when it does you're out less money, that's to say you have a stock block, but you have what you have now. I assume you intend to s/c it??

Yea I know but I didn't build the motor. As far as I know it is a stock block. The previous owner had another fox prior to this one, similar setup on a stock block pushing around 530whp and it held, so we'll just wait and see. Eventually it will be on boost, for now I plan to run spray.

I do agree though, I like the full out ground effects kit they came out with for the later foxes, but still I was never real impressed with foxes til I saw mine. Im sure it was a lot to do with marketing of that time era though.
