I'm not sure if Rodney (50Tussin on YouTube) is on here, but this build is the result of his Budget Fox videos. If you guy's haven't already checked them out, I promise they don't disappoint.
I bought this car off here two years ago from Skip out in Denver and hauled it back to St. Louis. Since then I've contemplated selling it and buying a driver a few times, but everything around here is either overpriced or rusted out badly. This car has zero rust on it, so I decided to just do what I've always wanted to do and build a lightweight drag car.
So far I've purchased a Explorer P engine, 1 3/4 long tubes, 8.8 w/ 4.56 gears.
I will be swapping to 86-93 efi and have a 93 harness with A9L computer. The transmission will be stick shift, I just don't know which one I want to use? I like the toploader for its strength and 2.78 first gear, but no overdrive might be an issue, so I might see how long the 2.95 NWC T5 holds up?
Here's where i am currently. I have the drivetrain pulled, getting ready to tackle the wiring.
