Default Looking to buy LS powered Foxbody

Im looking to get a new street driver. I want a clean body car, maybe needs a little work, but no stripped race cars no a/c bull. Anybody know someone with one let me know even if its just a roller.

I found one but the guy wants two arms and a leg. It has only 18000 original miles all black. Perfect car but outta my league.

Good luck finding one, I've been looking for another chassis myself and can not find a clean car. 90% have been gutted

Rofl, that dog can't walk in straight lines so it can never make it out of the garage!! He walks in circles and only makes it halfway out!! Rofl it's so funny. It's not trash *******, it's memorabilia!

I got a deal on this one this morning. I should be picking it up next week when he gets the motor and trans out. It's actually a 79 converted to fuel injection, I'm going to put my turbo motor in it...

It took me forever to find a clean fox body that wasnt bashed to hell. Even though mine is semi built for the track I consider it very clean inside. I got a great deal on it to even though had to drive to Dallas to pick it up.

Goodluck and usually check craigslist if you havent all ready.

Damn, makes me love my old turd gens that much more. I like being the only guy out at the meets with LS power(except for Kevin on occasion, but his is a bird). Seems like the Ls swap in the fox is ever rising.

Very popular swap, so much so Kooks makes headers specific for the swap. I would be interested as to how many casual glances you would fool, with a front mount distributor and carb on a LSX motor in a fox.

I cannot justify using a distributor. I love bumping the key on my fresh swap project with a carb and just bumping the key and it fires right up. No stabbing, timing, just a lap top to tell it where you want it and set the rev limiter. Cheaper too. But, thee are applications they are great for, just not for me, i never will probably go over 7500 RPM and i love the 6010 for when i go boosted.


Edit: Wish cooks would man up and make a set of headers for my car with a LS, Hawks with Stainless works has it pretty much cornered. Got me for 800 bones
