You're probably tired of seeing them by now but this is my 5.3 Fox build The first portion of this thread is from MM build thread. Just copy and pasted beings I don't want anyone getting upset for a link for another forum site.
Well here we go.. I've got myself a 93 LX notch that I'm going to attempt to build. This will be my first build for the mustang platform. The current list of parts that I've acquired so far.
93LX 4cyl auto notch (Red interior)
99 Yukon LM7 (stock)
Edelbrock victor jr EFI manifold
?? TH-400 (stock, got it from step-dad)
AJE K member kit with LS mounts
AJE TH-400 trans member
AJE 200 LB coil over conversion kit
AJE Tubular front A arms
95 mustang front spindles w/ brakes
95 8.8 rear
USAlloy 31 spline axles
Eaton trutrac diff
Ford racing 3.73's
Ford racing aluminum driveshaft
M/T 26x11.5 Drag radial on Race star Mustang Camaro pattern
155/80/15 BF Good wrench Radial A/T on some Weld Racing wheels
The current plan is to just get it running to drive then maybe next year rebuild the motor for turbo and of course turbo it. Still haven't figured if I'm going to do a twin or single but I'm not going to worry about that now.
The car as it sits now still has the stock K member in it (loose) on the stands with the sock rear out of it. I'm going to work on getting the K member in it over the next couple of days that I have off and hopefully be able to order the rear set up this month or next. Planning on going with the Team Z or the Baseline rear upper relocation, ajd lowers, and ARB.
PICS SOON
I will try to take a lot of pics and be descriptive as possible to possibly aid anyone that is thinking about doing this as well.[COLOR="Silver"]
Not really too happy with the weld quality
Some of the coating missing
The piece of scrap that they gave me for adjusting my coil overs
The ones I made for coil over adjustment

Didn't get much done today since I was messing with getting a new compressor so I could get a good grinder to try and take care of some of this missery (MO) rust. The first compressor I bought was shooting flames and sparks from it so took it back then had to set the other one up in my shed and run lines to my garage to the house and what not.
The other day though I did get to work on pulling the rest of the k member and clean it a little bit.

No. I'm in Sedalia
Bought a small single turbo set up. Believed to have came off an Fbody but going to see what I can do to get it to work for me. It's a torbonetics 76/92 from what I've been told. We'll see when I get home.
