after watchin a bunch of videos on youtube and checkin out a friends car at my college that has the maganflow. I decided to go with the magnaflow catback it seemd to have the deep sound of the borla without the raspyness of the slp and it was cheaper than both of the other two.
thanks for the feed back when you guys hit the south towns let me know. do you guys still do taffy’s or duffs anything in the hamburg op area? id like to meet some of the other guys with 5.0s on here
Once I get mine together I will be up for about anything…being out of the scene for a few years, I am kinda itching to get back into cruises and hang outs.
Front cover attaches to the fenders with like 5 bolts. You should be able to see them pretty easily from under the car. At the door are the remaining bolts, I believe you can access them by opening the door and getting at them from the door jam area. Also, don’t forget the bolts under the hood at the inner fender, and the wheelwell plastic.
Not to hijack but I have everything but the front 2 fender bolts out…I can easily access them but they spin the entire nut/bolt instead of just the nut.
Also the bumper cover has this plastic rivets holding it to the headlight panel.
Visegrips on the backside of the bolt so it doesn’t spin? I think I’ve taken the headlight panel out with the cover…this was like 8 years ago when I parted out a few fox bodys, so my memory is a bit vague.
very nice, i love new parts!. You will love the magnaflows, i have them on my 302 and i love them. judging by your body style and that K&N are you carbed? looks like an 84? Meeting up with more of the local 5.0s sounds fun. I’m wiring up my new nitrous kit right now lol
It had a slightly different grill and for this year, it is carbed 85 was the last year for it if you bought a t5 stick car you got a holley 600cfm 4 barrel with a more agressive roller cam it was good for 220hp/255ftlbs the autos got the prototype efi set up and only 180hp. hopefully with my msd 6al, wires, the smog delete, exhaust, and k&n im hoping to see a little more 245hp/275ftlbs? after i clean it up a little more im hopin to run a small shot of:tspry: but im not sure how much the 7.5" rearend can handle:meh:
nice 38stang that bodystyle has begun to start growing on me more and more lately i like them lowerd with a nice set of meaty tires in back. heres a few more shots of mine last summer before i swaped the wheels.
ummm honestly the internals are stock from carb to oilpan so what ever came on the 85 cars ive asked around on other forums about the internals in the past but this year motor is kind of a black sheep of the foxbodys everything has been a pain in the ass to order every part in summit is marked for 86-93 or 94, I have to cross refference every thing on other sites. I would imagine if they are the stock heads off of your motor they are probably quite a bit bigger valve wise then mine. So I may be interested because i have to do head work this summer anyways its leaking and burning a little bit of oil i think its valve seals.
When I had my Cobra, Summit was my best friend. Anyways, it looks like you made some very good choices on the parts. I completely agree on the Magnaflow exhaust.
