Looks like it'll be a fun build to watch!

If you'd like to sell that steering wheel, please let me know.

Looks like a fun build, its nothing to hard to it at all. 4v in a fox body ftw!

Definitely a cool project!

I have done some 4v fox swaps before. I had a 03 mach1 drivetrain into a 90gt that went 6.70's on a 125 shot. As for the dash to far foward question, I agree it does like like that but i think its cause S197 guys are use to a big dash (as in long), i trimed it to the windsheild and the steering wheel is exactly the same distance from the windshield as the fox wheel was. Ihad to do it like that or the shelby seats would've had to be mounted to far back (for leg room) and i would have been sitting beside the 1/4 glass.

little more challenging to get the 6060 in... lol...

Watching with great anticipation!!

here's the dash... it wasn't bolted in, just hanging there in this pic... its in now...

I'd like my dash to have that leather wrapped top.

I also can't wait to see this build finished. I'm not real keen on the fox body style but they are light and not that hard to make really fast.

sorry for slow progress lol... I have been installing front suspension to test fit the engine. Got the UPR K-mem kit in, but waiting on strange 10way struts and CC plates. PICS comming in a day or two tho. I rubber undercoated the underside of the front framerails and outside the aprons, looks pretty good.

Cool build I'm sub'd for sure!

I'm not a huge fan of Fox bodies like everyone else in the Mustang world. But! If I were going to drive one, this would be it.

Have fun test fitting that engine. A buddy and I are installing a GT500 drivetrain into an '02 Saleen. That engine BARELY fits. Once it's in place it fits well, but it's getting it there that's the real bitch. We had plans to "trial" fit it, but once we got it in the first time, it's staying.

That might actually be perfect for the SCCA Club build I have been wanting to do.

I don't mind acting as a buyer for a fellow member and have a trailer, shoot me a PM if you get serious.

Gotta talk to the girlfriend and see if "we" can afford it.
