    BIG BLOCK FOX CARS????? What body you like?

    I was just sitting here thinking about all the different FOX chassis cars that can take my 521 BBF / TH 400 combo.....


    I wanted a poll to see what bodies you guys prefer?


    So, if you had a 800 + HP N/A 521 Ford engine and wanted the ease of buying and installing it in a FOX chassis what body would you do it to?

    Fairmont or Fairmont Wagon!!!
    BUT
    For a Mustang:
    '79-'82 I think was the years with the "egg crate" grill...
    OR
    '87-'92 LX

    That's my opinion...

    My thoughts so far...

    I guess I like the " 4 eye" Stangs as they are a little different than the 87-93's are...


    I do like the interiors better on the later 87-93 Mustangs though...


    The Thunderbird "Turbo Coupe" bodys I really like and they also have very nice interiors......


    I'm going to have to change out the front k member anyway so that will not be a factor for any FOX car I'm looking at.....


    I want to start with the nicest car I can find.....I will pay for a nice car....



    If I end up getting a complete car instead of a "roller" I will sell off the parts that I don't need like the powertrain ect.....

    Yep !!

    Yes, the "4 eye" Mustangs are cool ! One good thing about these FOX cars is just about all the parts swap between them......I'm not ruling out any FOX chassis at all just yet.....


    Thanks for the input!
