No - Ford went with a Volvo-style clutch cable on the foxbody. 😉

OEM Volvo clutch cable pulling on the slightly longer SN95 clutch arm, Quicktime bell, McLeod aluminum flywheel, Hayes clutch, Ford throw out bearing, Tremec T5z all behind the LS3.

Quick update. The car is running pretty solid. I saw some higher temps than I liked when sitting in traffic so I drained the cooling system, pulled vacuum on it, and pulled new coolant in. Since then she has been perfect. Took her out for a Memorial Day cruise and the car is so much fun to drive. Hope to get a real alignment done this week.

@G Atsma this car is like a Johnsonville sausage factory to those purists haha

@one4torque thanks man! I designed my louvers to be a little longer to allow for all that heat around the headers to escape (see below. Pay no attention to the terrible paint haha. That will eventually get addressed). After a 30 minutes of hard driving in almost 90 degree heat yesterday you could feel the heat pouring out of the vents. I put a IR temp gun on the louvers and there was almost a 40 degree delta between the louvers and the hood.

Nice to see another BMW swap.

Took the car out to Cars and Coffee this weekend. The weather was beautiful, there were a ton of cars, and the BMW ran amazing.

Here is a quick video getting on to the interstate.

Quick update. The car has been running great. Still need to get a full alignment done and hope to have that wrapped up before the end of month. Also I got tired of sliding around in the factory seat. I found a good deal on a very lightly used Corbeau FX1 seat. Unfortunately all of the mounts I tried placed the seat to close to the dash. Being 6'-5" I had to make my own seat mount and now everything is mounted perfectly in the car.

Reach out sometime if you wanna talk through aligning it yourself in the garage at home.

@Michael Yount how the heck are you! I will definitely do that. I have it pretty close right now, but want a pro to dial it in. Also the same place will corner balance the car so I might be able to kill two birds with one stone.

I was lucky enough to be able to borrow some corner scales -- so I was able to set the corner weights and do the alignment in the garage.

I bought a home alignment kit off of Amazon. The ax guys use them due to going aggressive for track and dial back for street. Easy to use.
