Four Eye Foxbody Guys 1979-1986 Mustangs

[Donstang86]

Curious how many 1979-1986 four eye foxbody guys are on here. Post a picture of your ride so we can see who has what on here.

I'll start.
1986 Mustang GT purchased from Warren Wooten Ford in Cocoa Florida.
Modifications:
Stock 302 with 1.6 Roller Rocker Arms and a ported/polished 1993 Upper intake. BBK 65 MM spacer and Throttle body
Dynomax 2 1/2" exhaust with BBK catted H Pipe
Ford Stainless Steel 1 5/8" shorty headers
March Underdrive Pullies
Kenne Bell Ram Air
Ken Brown subframes, Gload brace and strut tower brace
Five Lug four wheel disc conversion with Cobra Red calipers, stainless steel brake lines, cross drilled/ slotted Rotors, Moser 31 spline axles with a Ford Explorer 31 spline Carrier, Ford Motor Sport rear girdle, Steeda Weightjacker lower control arms, 94 Mustang Spindles with 1993 Mustang V-8 K member (wider than the 79-86 V-8 K Member)
Bulitt Mustang coil Springs with Koni struts (front) and Air shocks on the back
17"x9" Cobra R wheels with Nitto NT555 tires.
Hurst Shifter
Ford Motorsport Aluminum Drive Shaft
Cervini 1 1/2" Mach One hood

Not the fastest but its a nice clean 29 year old cruiser with the original paint (except the hood)

Future plans:
I have a warmed up 302 shortblock with a good strong cam (Thanks Ron) and GT40 Yates Aluminum Heads (Thanks Vince). Going with a GT40 Tubular intake, 1.6 Roller Rockers. Thinking of removing the Catted H pipe and going with long tube headers. I would love a T56 in her but that may be years away. I have a Cervini 2 1/2 Cowl hood. Frustrated it hits my strut tower brace. Looking at a HO Trends Fiberglass hood.

Like I said she is just a cruiser. Never will be the fastest but I dig driving it.

I have an 81 that ive had since I was 15 years old. Its been through a couple transformations. I built it in 1997 the first time. Im sure many of you guys have seen it. It was in the readers rides in MMFF december 2001. then I painted it silver, then red. It has had a 289ci motor that went 13.79 i built myself when I was 17 years old, then in 2001 i built a 460 that would go 10.50s and 9s on spray, then i built a 501 that would go 9.80s on pump gas. Then I added a couple 74mm turbos from a semi truck and it went 8.50s@169. I still have it and love it.

I have a maroon 86 Mustang GT. this is my second 86 Mustang. Both had nitrous, but this one is faster. I started with the motor that was in it when I purchased it. It was a 40 over rebuild with crap Pistons. A little nitrous and too much rpms later and a ring seized in a piston. I then began my build which took six long years to "complete". It now has a 327 stroker in a Ford racing Boss block with procomp aluminum heads and a custom grind nitrous cam from Bullet. It makes 355 To the tires on the motor on Rodeheavers dyno. I'm currently hitting it with a 175 shot, but want to add a little more with a second stage. I'm in that process right now. I try to make it to all the Flashlight Drags and will be at the track rental with it.

Here it is when I first got it

Four-eyed Fox? Just bought it 20 years ago. Found it in Charlotte, NC before the internet made car shopping easy... I went to Barnes & Noble on Tuesdays when they received the Sunday newspapers fro Atlanta, Charlotte, D.C., etc. Old School! 4-barrel carb and 5-speed stick.

158,000 miles... mostly original paint! Same engine since we threw a Summit catalog at it in 1998. Edelbrock carb, intake, and aluminum heads. E-cam. Balanced and spins smooth to seven grand. In '98 you could go Corvette hunting with 325hp. Today, it can still trash a '98 Vette!

'87+ front rotors with Lincoln Mk VII calipers, Turbo Coupe rear with 3.55s and discs too. Subframe connectors, lowered about an inch...Eibachs I think, but it's been awhile!

i've had it to St. Louis, Virginia Beach, Raleigh, Quaker City, Nelson's Ledges, Beaverun (been a few years), FLD's at Zelie (been a few years!) and it's the car I drove the night we got engaged 16 years ago.

Occasionally cold A/C.

Fairly crude, borderline obnoxious, always fun, and dead reliable.

What's great about Greg's car is that it gets used and enjoyed as much as any 30 year old car out there.

My '66 was in the middle of its long initial resto-mod when I was invited to go for a lunch hour test ride in Greg's '85 GT ragtop. At the time all Greg's go-fast goodies were pretty fresh and Greg was more than willing to demonstrate exactly how well they were doing their job! Needless to say, that ride was just what the doctor ordered, as it jump started my enthusiasm for my own build, which had stalled a little bit due to getting married and buying a house. Thanks for the boost Greg! I know you'll keep racking up the miles and smiles in the GT!

A lot of you know my Capri ... 84 RS Turbo car, relentless on it.

Need me some 86 !

[Donstang86]

Its nice to see that some guys still have old four eyed fox bodies. Sometimes you feel dated with an older Pony but they will always be special to me!

[AdamantiumSilvr]

NiiiiiCE!!!! We have a NMRA Coyote Stock racer on here!! Some awesome rides in here! If I were to get a Fox body it'd be a '82 the year I was born, also because I wear glasses! lol
