87 Fox Body LS Turbo Been lurking for a while and getting some work done on my 1987 Fox Body LS swap. Figured I would make a thread to show some of the progress being done.
A friend of mine is helping me with the work.
Bought the car as a roller. Car was in really good condition when I got it.
Platform is going to be a 6.0 with a 78/75 single turbo, paired up to a 4L80E trans.
Specs of the motor:
LS2 rotating assembly
LS2 timing chain
Ported LS6 intake and DBC 78mm throttle body
Ported LS6 oil pump
317 aluminum heads
LS9 head gasket
ARP head studs and rod bolts
Fox swap oil pan
BTR .605/.610 cam
BTR .660 valve springs
Holley fuel rail
80lb injectors
Here are a few shots of the progress on that.
All leads up to this.

AC/heater have been completely removed.
Getting a lot of the unnecessary stuff out of the engine bay.
Waiting on a few things still to arrive for the engine bay. Ordered the AJE front end kit, as well as some panels from Scott Rod Fab to clean up the engine bay.
