That's extremely nice.
What's your suspension setup? I'm guessing not stock, that's not a whole lot of body roll for a foxbody.

Thanks guys! ;D Suspension? haha well in those pictures it was pretty much stock except for some sub-frame connectors that I had welded on. However, since those pics I have added Bilstein shocks/struts, MM Caster/Camber plates, and Ford Racing Front Lower control arms. Following those upgrades I plan on getting some rear lower control arms, panhard bar, strut tower brace, and a front coil-over kit. |

what engine are you going to go with a swap for? new ford racing 5.0L or bigger V8? no exhaust mods? Engine will probably be a 306 with Trick Flow aluminum heads and some Roller Rockers of some sort. Forged pistons of course. I might even get a Keith Craft engine that is rated at 400hp and 400 ft-lbs so we'll see. Exhaust mods are as follows: BBK Shorty Headers (not long tubes cause of stupid CA smog nazis) Flowmaster Cat-back and thats pretty much all I can do...I could get an H-pipe but then I'd have to change back to the old one every time I have to do smog. Plus if a cop catches me without cats its $10,000 fine for each missing cat and a Mustang has 4. |

Im going to test my my pre-cat soon lol, i feel your pain, my car has a smaller one in the y-pipe and then a normal one right after it, and i gotta stay smog legal great engine mod choices, this thing is going to be a beast when you are done with it! all i can see this thing needs now is a cam  |

I thought the E303 cam was smog legal? E303 is smog legal and there is a Comp Cams cam that is smog legal too but I don't know the specs. I would run a E303 but I hear it sucks and is worse than the stock cam. The stock cam in these cars is pretty legit so there isn't really a big reason to change it. If I would run any cam it would be a custom cam or a Trick Flow Stage 1 cam. |
