This build has really motivated me! Gonna buy a Fox body and do an LS build when I get home from Afghan. Looking good man! Thinking 5.3 build with a single front mount.

Thanx, I actually picked up this Fox on my last deployment.

If I could do it all over again I would probably go with a big single. I like the twins and all but a single setup would just be so much easier.

Gauges are in:



Now I need to figure out everything I need for a 5 lug swap and new brakes.

I have yet to start wiring the car other then pulling the dash. I work on a oil rig so I'm gone most of the time. Others that have done this before me say its pretty simple but I HATE wiring so my brother is suppose to help me with that.
I'll let u know when its done.

Stock ford one works perfect. I had to drill and secure it to the webbing of the intake cause the bracket wouldnt clear the FPR.

Here's a lil update:

Turbo kit is done. Everything on the intercooler is v-banded and I only need 3 couplers. One from each compressor and one from the intercooler to the TB.
Shouldnt have any issues with blowing off any couplers. Wastegates where relocated and will dump into the atmosphere instead of back into the dp's.



New motor/heads came in awhile back.

Specs:
ERL LS2 SUPERDECK I Short block
374ci 9.5:1
Compstar crank (3.625)
Forged Compstar rods (6.2)
Wiseco forged pistons (4.070)
Darton premium sleeves
All ARP hardware including 1/2 head studs/mains
SIX bolt conversion
Coated CLEVITE bearings throughout.
KATECH C5R Timing chain and Katech Oil pump+spring
O-ringed




Heads:
Performance Induction LXR heads
245cc runners with 68cc combustion chambers
Receiver groove for o-ring




Now I just need to figure out what cam would work best.

Thanx, If I was to do it all over again I would go with a big single.

One of my buddys once said "Twins are cool but Twice as expensive and Twice the head ache." I totally agree with him at this point.

I saw ur car out at Tx2k12, I was a bit envious that urs came together as quickly as it did.

I should have a good update on this thing here in a few weeks, we'll see.

Dont sweat it man, I had 85% of the parts already waiting to go into my IROC and last minute decided to do a foxbody instead. Your new motor setup is gonna be a bad bitch. Should roll out hard!
