    New Guy With A New Fox Body... (not 56K friendly)

    ok guys, so i must admit. i've been a chevy guy most of my life and this is the first ford i've ever owned. and who knows why i bought it. i saw the ad on craigslist and when i went to see her she spoke to me... that and the price was right... it's an 88 originally a 4cyl with 140K that somone did a poor transplant of a 302/c3 that i'm told is from a 77 stang with 50K on it. it's got a amatuer respray paint job and is overall kinda beat, but none the less has potential. i got the carb tuned right the other day (motorcraft 2bbl) and now she runs pretty alright. any input on a 4bbl and intake setup? does around 600cfm sound right for a stock 302?
    the electrical is all gehawed, but i'm woking on that and the interior is
    totally beat. i've got most of it ripped out and starting to refinish it all.
    so anyway, here's some pictures. lemme knwo what you guys think,
    comments and suggestions are welcomed....
    and by the way, i was referred to this site from my cousin chris walrath
    in E mckeesport, so shout out to him!

    yeah well chuck and his family are good people, but this car is freakin beat. he told me they actually drove it with there being a ruptured brake line but hey, for 1500 i couldn't go wrong.
    now i just gotta find someone i can talk into doing the floor pans when i get the rest of the interior out.

    Welcome ! fellow fox owner! Looks like you have alot of work there. I agree it does have potential and notches are getting harder and harder to find.

    thanks molnartr, i actually searched for it after somone else said
    it was for sale on here. i can't believe he was asking 2500 for it.
    but it seems like he actually makes some pretty good deals on the cars he sells

    Good to see you joined.

    Like I said, theres usually a lot of fox stuff for sale in the classifieds on this forum, so keep your eyes open. Oh, and any chance of converting back to fuel injection?
