    Default Newbie with plans for 79 notch hacked swap

    My name is Dewayne I've watched this site for years
    I've had almost 50 foxes currently own 2 ..The first is a dove grey 89 coupe 2.3 auto car i got paid 125 to haul off almost 10 years ago ive been working on it the whole time .. its been put together and back apart changing it many times this time is got 408w and big in big out toploader going in ....(hot rod)
    The second is a 79 coupe horrible basket case hack job swapped .....the car itself is straight with no rust.. but its got 87-89 interior with all wiring and quarter glass with 85-86 gt bumpers and some side molding it had a chevy in it (against my religion) 1 inch spacers for the k frame. Welded up 7.5 with boxed stock rear control arms i have plans for it im hoping you guys will approve and except me here i know the rules are not really bendable here so ill have to see how you feel off my plans for that car

    Plans include 5.4 dohc with 4r70w , 8.8 s197 5 lug swap
    Recar0 seats police car 17 inch steal wheels beaty rings and center caps 85-86 exterior will stay id like to find the correct quarter glass stuff but id have to swap interior back really hard around here to find fox stuff any more i have all 2 tone grey leather for it and i want to paint it like the gt cars Creme with medium silver accents and instead of it saying gt on the hood itll say 5.4 ive got a buddy the says he can mill the dohc into the side molding where the gt would be its just thoughts that ive came up with since I've had the car I've gathered allot of stuff for it ive always love the 4 eye cars as much as the composite cars (no favorites other then i really prefere coupes) i don't swap them either way i usually work with what they are or what they are when i get them

    No one will have any problems with those plans. One of our senior members is in the middle of a 5.4 swap right now. As long as the car remains LS free, and keeps the 4 eye front, it's all good.

    I downloaded it and flipped it with photo editor. I know on my tablet, even though the screen auto rotates, the pictures are upside down unless i hold the camera right side up.
