yeah i swapped in a 96 cobra dash and center console in my 89 coupe and im working on the door panels at work this is alot of work and can not be done without a welding and if you dont know how to do wiring this may not be something you want to start there is a lot of rewiring to do and you need a full sn95 dash harness and a fox harness and if your going to get the sn95 gauges to work you need to run vss wires for the speedo i can post some pics after work.pm me if you need to know something

I think there's a how to on the corral if you do a search there. I've seen it a few times at car shows and wish I could do it, I would, I already have sn 95 leather in my coupe.

Theres several ways of doing the SN95 dash into the fox. You can just mount it for the look and feel with nothing functional using aftermarket gauges and such. That would be a quickest and easiest route. Or you can do it like Pshull727 is doing,.. making everything functional and look exactly like it would if you were sitting inside an SN95 car.

I miss the SN95 dash a little bit. A lot less creaks and groans then a fox dash. But I like the fox setup too.

i got everything working in my swap after all the work to get the a/c working im removing it from the car lol but all the stock sn95 gauges work(you will need a 94-95 5.0 custer or 94-98 v6 custer for the tach to work right) and the wiring is not that bad but does take alot of time but you can get everything to work and look like sn95 with a lil thinking.But like i said i would try to get a 2001-2004 dash as they have no clock and the bigger radio opening(great for nav units) but if you want black you will need to find 94-98 dash.
