      Are the headers around the suspension pieces a new thing? That looks wicked cool.

        No, that looks wicked fucked up if you turn your own wrenches. Seeing what they had to do to make it fit, turns me off of that swap in a heartbeat.

            Yeah something else to think of as well, there is rubber in those LCA bushings and headers get really really hot. I can see those bushings wearing out very quickly. Aside from that, bad ass.

              no but it reminds me of old school headers from the 60's drag cars like the ford thunderbolt

                Kurgan Motorsports plans on offering kits for owners of Fox Body Mustangs who want to do the swap themselves.

                Having a kit will make things a little easier but it's gonna be an expensive swap and their are allot of other motors I’d rather put in a foxbody! It's cool nonetheless...

                    Ya, you'd figure they would have cleaned it up a little or something.

                        It might be an ok swap. These engines will be cheap as hell in a few years.

                              You'd figure they would at least clean and paint the undercarrage. Maybe use new control arm hardware too?? Transmission looks like poop and the steering rack is leaking like an old hose. Yaack
