quad cam into a fox body
I'm looking at swapping a new mach1 engine into a fox-body ( 89' ).
I have a few questions that I figured some of you may know. If you don't know, I was hoping someone could refer me to someone or some place that could give me more info on doing it.
The engine comes with harness/ecu/hood/and the 320 mile engine of course.
The major questions being:
#1 is the motor mounts going to be a SOB ?
#2 is the wiring going to be like totally totally different ?
#3 is the quad cam aluminum block ? ( I know the new cobra is iron ).
A new Kmember is on the list for the swap, I wonder if I can have someone build a K-member that will bolt straight to the Fox-body frame, and straight to the quad cam mounts ?
Looking into either a tremic or T-56 ( via LT-1 F-body ) for a tranny and prob. get a rear end from a turbo coupe ( the car is a perfect condition 4-banger ).
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Hoping for 12sec times on street tires N/A and low 11's with a procharger and slicks.
