Terminator Fox Awakens!

I'm trying to fabricate a bracket to mount the heat exchanger behind the crush bumper. I should be done in the next couple of days and then off to powder coating. I haven't been working on it much; fabricating a swing for my son for the last two weeks. thanks

Good deal, keep us posted.

I am ready to squeeze this heat exchanger behind the crush bumper and permanently mount it in place.

Is that the Gordsford heat exchanger?

No, it's a Fluidyne heat exchanger. I tried calling Gordsford multiple times to place an order. He never returned my call.

For the wiring are you swapping in all the factory ' 04 Cobra wiring or using the factory cobra engine harness and splicing it into the factory fox harness?

 

[419forest]

I am using all factory 03 svt cobra harnesses.

Craig just curious did you buy a donor car or did you buy an eBay pull out?

Pull out from Midwaymustangs I think? It's been over 18 months since the purchase, and I cannot remember the company name. I didn't go through ebay.

If you buy a donor car, then you are double working yourself by having to store the vehicle, remove and transfer parts to your project car.

Did you modify the crush bumper any? I looked at mounting my heat exchanger behind the crush bumper but didn't feel like there was enough room.

 

[419forest]

I will have to notch two corners of the bumper where the heat exchanger bracket will rest against.

Heat exchanger installed. Moving onto other issues...

Car is getting exhaust built and then going to Tuner on Friday to complete the project by the end of November!

 

[Dshart08]

Man I can't wait to start my mod motor swap... Love what you have done to this car.

 

[419forest]

Exhaust system is complete. Going to the tuner tomorrow to finish the project; hopefully by the first week of December.

 

[419forest]

At the Tuner getting some final work done before the dyno tune later this month

Craig I must say watching this build was well worth the wait that is one very beautiful car.good luck with it

 

[419forest]

Adding fluids to the engine. Heat exchanger and pump are working properly.

After a lot of planning, knuckle-busting work and help from others; the beast awakens!
