UPDATE: not completely sure whats going on with the engine yet, i may be getting it, i may not. regardless, the transmission and rear end are probably going in this weekend. I have since installed a BBK in fender CAI, MSD cap and rotor and Ford Racing wires. all these made a HUGE difference in the performance of the car. it runs a lot smoother now as well. I also took some time today to give the engine bay a good cleaning: **Before:** ![http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1079/1064272560_b5370fc175.jpg](http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1079/1064272560_b5370fc175.jpg) **After:** ![http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1003/1064272954_488e61bc80.jpg](http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1003/1064272954_488e61bc80.jpg) ![http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1220/1064273022_b19b83e888.jpg](http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1220/1064273022_b19b83e888.jpg) ![http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1022/1064273276_9e60620d0b.jpg](http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1022/1064273276_9e60620d0b.jpg) gotta get the plug wires cleaned up, they are kinda all over the place. I have the OEM rubber boot that holds them all in there, i just havent put it back on yet ---

When you buy a Fox-Body, it instantly gives you the ability to make the right decision. All the time, and always at the right time. ---
