LSX in 87' Fox
If you notice in my pics mine had manual brakes also, but that didn't last long .lol
As far as the fuel pump goes, The Speartech harness has a fuel pump relay already wired up. I just ran the wire from the relay into the trunk and connected it to the factory wiring just before it goes through the trunk pan to the pump.

Ok next on my list is the fuel system..did some researching but can't really find details on the fuel setups some of you foxbody boys are using. djquik88 has given me some info on his, but looking for more information. The more you know the better right?
Have you looked at the tread on here by powershiftkung, on the PHR project called the Orphan? There is a ton of info to be found in his build.

Need some more fuel help. I'm going to be running a truck intake and fuel rails..and at this point an time am planning to run a return style fuel set-up. My question is will I just use the factory regulator on my stock rails or run an aftermarket regulator? Such as a Aeromotive..etc..?

Well decided to sell the 4L80 and go with a Th350-400, cheaper to build and cheaper converter, plus haven't been able to find a cheap controller for the 80..so Th400 and a brake is in the works..

Ordered my K-member and spring perches today. K-member is on back order every where..
So that sucks, they said it could be beginning of March before I see the K-member..Should be picking up my heads next week hopefully and ordering the cam shortly after. Pick up a new car pan, tray, gasket, bolts, and sender last week, along with a LS6 oil pump. So I should have the motor back together hopefully in 2-3 weeks depending on the how long the cam takes..

I've just recently started looking at LS1 Tech and saw some of the links that have been posted in this thread for my swap. Is there isn't a specific forum for the LS1-Fox Body swap is there? A lot of what I've has helped me plan on what to do. I found an 87 notch roller that had an existing AJE K-member and I'm about to send it back to AJE and have them weld the LS1 mounts on. I want to go forced induction maybe either with a 122 maggie or twin turbos, any sugestions?
