...of another Foxbody (this makes my third).

She is a white 1989 4-banger LX coupe I picked up from Adam. It will be quite a while before it sees the road, but I'm planning on either an aluminum 4-valve 4.6 or a carburated 302 with a Cobra IRS. Final goal is to have the motor started in one year or less.

Big thanks to Dave for giving me the means to bring it up to Tampa...and of course big thanks to Adam! Feels real nice to have a dedicated project car to fool around with again. Finally I have something I can build from the ground up to fullfill exactly what I want out of a car. The inner mullet is again satisfied.

If your interested in putting a mod motor in if, check out www.modularfox.com There is also another site out there about the swap, I just cant think of it right now. The 4.6 is where its at.

I hope that I can help out as much as possible. It might make me want to do a similer project, but with "other" power. It will be a true challenge of wiring skill as it has no wiring that I saw. Time to warm up the ol sodering iron.

I am always ready, able and willing to dip in and work on it. I can't wait.

Are you high, that is too much like hard work? Bump that man just call up Painless Wiring and be done in an hour and a half. You would spend nearly as much in materials fabing up a wiring harness anyway.

As long as Painless has all the proper sockets for bulbs and whatnot, it's all good. Engine wiring should be interesting though.
