    Default Hello from Minnesota

    Hello everyone, looking forward to the forum as I work on my 4 eye'd Fox bodies which include a '78 Fairmont sedan SHO engine project, with a black interior, 8.8 3.73L rear disc brakes, and a black '85 LTD LX with crank windows.

    That Fairmont sounds like an interesting project. Can't wait to see it.

    Yep I dunno if if the SHO project will get completed this year (LTD LX first ), but I've been gathering the needed parts incl...

    -78 Box Top Fairmont (Green with all black interior)
    -Donor SHO with 212K
    -Aerostar bell housing
    -93 5.0L T5 trans
    -adapter to the block
    -Donor 87 Turbo Coupe automatic
    -5 speed pedal assembly
    -VW MK2 Recaros (hope to find Fox Mustang Recaros at some point)

    So far I've swapped in an 8.8 3.73 rear disc brake axle from the Turbo Coupe. Bolted right in! The stock axle had a broken spider gear sitting inside the bottom of the axle. I mounted the 10-hole Ford wheels with 225/60 tires until I decide what wheels to get. It helps I also have a 93 5.0L LX to reference if needed for the build up.
