Long story why the toploader is going in the fox. But here it goes:
Have had a 65 for a while, and blew up the motor (previous owner did not put in the right size valves/pushrods/etc, and some spirited driving blew it up.) So I pulled the motor out, and built up a DSS racing 331 roller motor with AFR 185 heads, pro-systems carb, etc. to go in the 65. Went to do a scarebird disc brake install on the 65, and found some nasty front frame rust that needs replacement. The fix was more then I could afford. SO, I found a local 89 notchback 4 cylinder thats clean and straight for very cheap.
Gutted the notchback (it should be VERY light, even with me in it), and now I'm dropping the 331 with the toploader into the fox for an all out strip car. the toploader was in the 65, and is way stronger then the T-5, and actually bolts in just fine except there are no trans mounts, so you have to fab a little. Even the drive shaft is the same as a t-5.
The 65 meanwhile, is going to end up having the front end pulled, and the frame rails fix. I'm not sure yet if I will go stock frame rails, mustang 2, or go crazy and do a tube chassis type front end with a big motor (the car is a run of the mill 65, nothing rare, original or special btw, so we can all exhale). At that time, ill find a new toploader. In honor of the 65 donating its guts to the 89, I'm thinking a I may paint the fox the same color scheme at the 65.
