    Starting my 1979 notch build

    Thanks for the tips so far all! Not much to update this week, but I did buy a Mig welder. I just need to run a 240V circuit in my garage for it. I've yet to buy the floor pans, but probably in the next couple of weeks. Anyways I began tearing into the 1971 block that I am using for the...

    Starting my 1979 notch build

    Thanks for the replies all. I'll definitely do the pans first. I'll order the pan replacement pans as soon as LMR has them in stock again. They are out of stock for both sides. LMR seems to be the go-to for replacement stuff for these cars so I'll stick to them unless you guys have other...

    Starting my 1979 notch build

    Hey all, its been a very long time since I posted on this forum. Life has been busy to say the least, but I haven't forgotten my gasoline blooded roots. I still have the 1991 listed in my signature. It's one that I certainly will never part ways with due to its sentimental value and I've left...

    Nice car man. I like your style. I am much like you in regards to doing everything as inexpensive as possible. So I will definitely be following your thread for ideas for my own Fox. I love the idea of getting the most bang for the buck and looking great. My latest bit was making my own...

    Starter Bolt Broke

    Sorry man, that stinks. I would have suggested putting some heat on it. Been in a lot of these situations. There is aluminum there too so heat would have been a last resort before snapping and drilling it. I have never had luck center punching and drilling perfectly center so I drill it out...

    Necessary Mods To Achieve 400hp?

    Glad to hear that you are interested in a Foxbody instead of some import like someone else had posted. I bought my Foxbody when I was 18, fixed it up and got it on the road just around my 19th birthday. Ten years later I must say I am much wiser and respect the car a lot more now than I did...

    Engine Temp Rising During Normal Driving

    Thanks for the replies/suggestions! Turns out that I do not have the air dam beneath the front of my car. I will definitely get one and put it on. I removed the A/C condenser over the winter since the whole system leaked terribly anyways and did not have much desire to fix it. I may decide...

    Engine Temp Rising During Normal Driving

    Hello all, It's been a very busy summer for me so I have recently just begun to dig into this issue. Let me begin by saying that a few years ago I took some guys out to lunch in my car at work and the serpentine belt flew off right in the middle of a construction zone. Needless to say the...

    Looking To Buy A New Exhaust

    For clarification to you and others, that is correct. I guess I came off as sort of partial to Mac, but I really am keeping my options open here because all I have ever had on this car is the Mac setup that is currently on it. I bought the car with no exhaust on it ten years ago. The engines...

    Thanks for the reassurance! I have ran it since I fixed it. I didn't run it today at all but I did check the fluids and everything seemed to be ok.

    Engine Got A Little Hot, How Concerned Should I Be?

    As the title says... I took my car out to get gas today about 5 miles away. I had just installed an electric fan and it was my first venture away from home more than a mile or so since installing it...it was in the mid 80's today but it felt rather cool out with the sun in and out. On the way...

    E-fan Relay Wiring Diagram

    Hello all, I just finished installing an electric fan in my car, and I remember some time ago, somewhere, seeing a wiring diagram for a temperature controlled relay that will kick the fan on once the engine reaches a certain temperature. I currently have it wired up on a single pole, double...

    Finally Found My Phantom Water Leak...help.

    Good call. I will pull the weather stripping and clean all around and POR all around. There are these "tabs" that hold the weather stripping into place, so I thought about putting a dab of silicone on these (not enough to make them impossible to get out again) and see if it helps seal things...
