Since I have a lot of time to think about what I want to do with my Fox, instead of actually getting to work on my Fox. I thought I would make a thread about it.
Assuming I get my 91 running properly again I thought I would run down what I'm thinking about doing. I already have a set of TFS 170CC heads, still need to get an intake and cam (maybe). I found a local guy selling an Explorer intake, 70mm TB, EGR spacer, 24lbs injectors, and billet fuel rails for about $400. Not crazy about the fuel rails and TB since they are Professional Products, but assuming they are in good condition I'll be cheap. Also didn't want to get an Explorer intake again (did this on my last car), but they perform well and are also cheap.
My current thought process is sometime next quarter, I'll yank my stock block, pull the heads and intake, clean up the shortblock, and bolt up my new heads and new (to me) intake. I originally was going to put a TFS stage one cam in it, but I might not. I might not because a few months after that I think I might buy a B&G stage 1 turbo kit. I figure since I can split the block with a turbo kit and a stock cam, then I might save a couple of bucks and skip the TF cam for the time being. I would also run the 24lbs injectors until I got the turbo, at which point I would swap them out for some 42's, or something more suitable.
I all likely hood I'll be broke at this point and still running around on the stock T5, so I would get the car tuned for 5-6psi. Then once I get a Tremec in it, and get the 8.8 built, I'd up the boost. Anyway, if you made it this far thanks for reading my thoughts. Have to discuss it with someone as my wife's eyes generally glaze over when I start going off on technical stuff.
