Juuuuust a point of fact here: Actual-factual Saleen Fox body conversions also included the notchback as well as the droptop. Therefore, the Saleen wing genuinely belongs on the notch.

I'm gonna get smoked for saying this, but I hate seeing cheese graters removed and LX lenses on GTs. It's been a popular swap since these cars were new; in fact, the dealers here in Texas had a problem with folks stealing them from cars on the lot to put on thier GTs. I always HATED that.

don't put cobra emblems on a foxbody , unless it is a real 93 cobra. Canada called their gts cobras just to keep the cobra name, but if it is not a real 93 cobra leave the badge off. been a foxbody owner since 84 and traded in my cougar xr7 turbo for my new 88 gt which i still own

[@wood4278]

That turbo xr7 is legendary to

[@281cobracar7]

Yes I had a 85 Canadian Mustang GT. It had the Cobra name on the rear spoiler. I bought it brand new in Cleveland, OH. In June of 85 if you wanted a GT you had to order it because all the Ford dealers were sold out. A dealer in the Cleveland suburbs imported 6 GT's from Canada and I bought one. The speedometer was in kilometer and when up to 115 mph under the kph numbers. I had to take the car back to the dealership so they could change the speedometer to the US mph speedo. It only went up to 85 mph but there was no peg to stop the needle. The needle didn't stop until you hit the tripometer reset button at the bottom. I figure that to be about 115-120 mph.

[@wabberjacky9951]

Yea that is good

[@deontaylor1547]

[@mustangsquad3029]

5 things but all are particular. Rarely but sometimes Clear LX tails go good on some cars but it’s 100% Color based Painted intakes can be tasteful but they can’t be colourful keep it neutral (greys and blacks) GT bumper cuts are usually bad but when I got my car it was cut pretty well but it was a semi circle to the bottom not through the centre. Small cowls are nice, Nothing bigger than a 3 inch and no full length over cowl hoods. Carb swaps are completely acceptable. You do what you want but especially when the wiring was ruined by a previous owner. But keep the efi if you can.

[@jobehoffmeister7122]

Don't own a Mustang, but owned Ford trucks the last 21 years of my life. I hate the modern mustangs,, they look big, but they are so cramped on the inside. The Fox Bodies Mustangs have always been my favorite, and thry are fun to drive. Came across this video, just subscribed.

[@Fordman7575]

My # 1 is always keep the Ford, Ford powered! I am so tired of the played out ls crap. I agree with the tail lights and headlights but I do like the tinted LX tail lights and the head lights. I like the big tach. Don't need the big shift light though. I'll take a carb over old efi any day of the week! Having dealt with the many head aches of a buggy old efi set up. I love the simplicity of a high rise 4V intake and carb. Not to mention being able to pull the valve covers without having to mess with the intake! Plus I like the looks of a carbed engine.

[@SolaireofAstoraFH]

As someone with a carbed 306 fox, I can say I would like to swap in an LS for the simple fact that it’s compact, light and strong. I would love to do a coyote or bbf but they take up too much room. You can get a LSX454 and it still be smaller than a 5.0 coyote. Plus it’s lighter. More displacement, more room, lighter car. Theres just too many pros vs cons and that’s why so many people pick an LS.

[@Dr.Mcstaby]

@@SolaireofAstoraFH ppl pick the LS cause they are lazy and cheap. there are plenty of ford V8's that can fit into a fox body that are not a chevy product.

[@christopherhouck3846]

I’m pretty sure most people put carbs on 86s because they run speed density not MAF so you can’t run a bigger cam or heads without needing one of those old school computer chips. Makes total sense to me why someone would just go carb.

We’ve been accused of hiding nitrous under the intake manifold.

In stock form, the FI system produces more torque - the "seat of the pants" low end. The carb atomizes fuel somewhat better. As for dependable ... well, that depends on what kind of stupid has gone on with the fuel injection system in the past. I've had some carb cars that were so bad that if you depended on it to fail - it'd let you down. I've seen carbs that had been forked with so badly that the owner swapped to an edelbrock to fix the problems.

I am a firm subscriber of Blue Oval Media and supporter of the channel, but this video should not have been made, sorry my man. You are telling everyone to stay the NORM when being unique separates us as individuals.

[@BuiltVSBought]

This video was done more as a joke and as something fun to do. I am an advocate of doing what you want as well. I am sorry that it did not make you laugh and know that I am not trying to keep us all the same. Some of the things that I mentioned are things that I have done but like I have said it's all in good fun.

[@Ttop_Thomas]

@@BuiltVSBought It has nothing to do with making me laugh, most of your contact contains humor 😂. Im not sensitive on the matter Im just a firm believer in being unique and different. Dont let anyone tell you how to make you love your own car 😉

[@BuiltVSBought]

Agreed

[@G.Harley.Davidson]

I love all of your suggestions on the aesthetics of the Foxbody 👍

[@pimpaho295]

You guy's left out, never paint the moldings around the glass! The factory matte black was the best look! 👍 Help to break up the lines! It's great! Nothing worse then seeing a bright color go all the way to the windows! 🤮 Great video! 👍

[@jaidenbattle736]

Mine is factory chrome

[@jimanastasio192]

Great video, very entertaining! The one thing I would say is that although I don't recommend removing a healthy AC system from your Fox, I got rid of mine (it was shot) and have never regretted it. It had nothing to do with the tiny fraction of a horsepower you might save, but more to do with getting rid of extra weight and clutter under the hood. I would say that the only reason to keep your AC is that the Fox is your only car, and you live in an area that is hot all the time. My Mustang gets driven a lot, but if it's so hot and humid that I feel the need for AC, I drive my truck. The 'Stang feels like a pig in that kind of weather anyway.

[@jimanastasio192]

As a big "bang for the buck" fan, I don't have a big issue with replacing a 2.3 with an LS. Just don't mess up an original 5.0 Mustang. Don't.

[@mrau92me]

​@@jimanastasio192 If swapping out a 2.3L, I say go with a Coyote or another 302... no LS swap. It's not an original idea, for one.

[@joshbartelli6088]

The all clear tail lights @ 3:17 are the best tails for a fox.

[@natec4359]

I agree with pretty much all of this. Only one I question is didnt Saleen make a nothback with ground effects?

[@cre8tivegarage157]

welcome back !!!!

[@chrish1446]

Amen to this list brother. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

[@ericcaves7530]

As a Chevy guy, with little knowledge of the Fox Mustang, I agree with every point. Everything you showed made the car look cheaper and/ or like a ricer, lol. And as for the LS swap? Ford belongs with Ford, and Chevy belongs with Chevy. It just takes away the original soul of the car, to put in an engine of a different make

[@chrisfegan3475]

Love this video. Hope to find one some day

[@thomgram3298]

Bro your intro beat is sick I'm feeling your content keep up the great work

[@joetrainer31]

Love the wheels and tires.

[@ctobias1984]

Number one should’ve been don’t put a cobra badge on a non-cobra

[@valtoton2982]

You made a mistake on the last one! The SALEEN package on the notch is not a GT kit swap! See... Look mom no fog lights 😜 Also it's hot AF! Including the ram air hood. Otherwise I agree . Mine was a special edition, 1989 1/2, well it still is, it was Almond, with the SALEEN package, and ram air hood absolutely sexy. But after a few years, in 92 I painted it hot pink with a blue pearl clearcoat. NOW, I've had the ground effects off for about 15 years, but still look back at the old photos of both versions and she was incredible. Mybcustom paint is overcf39 years old now. This summer my notch will get a new color and remain skirtless, the Saleen wing is gone, but my functional Ram Air hood stays. I still think Sales a are sexy 😜

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

I’m right there with you with ALL of these things

[@angelamcrae3019]

I just painted my valve covers and intake this year when I did gaskets. It felt wrong to take them off and not clean them up

[@licketysplit12]

I agree with every one of these. Thank you for doing this.

[@dzFades]

Love the foxbody content bro !

[@tylerdurden9215]

Lx clear taillight not bad, the painted intakes look good, that black and red gt 40 explorer both look good

[@applefordguy76]

One piece headlights.. tried it. When my 89 LX comes outta storage this spring, I have a set of new smoked 3 piece waiting😁😁

[@chrisfegan3475]

Notchback is my dream car. Florida state trooper interceptor got me. Loved them ever since I saw one years ago

[@blackvi2000]

@15:18 "In The Junk Yard... LEANED me!!!!

[@LalaFox92]

Not me spray painting my intake black😂😂😂

[@BuiltVSBought]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Dreamteam_bmx]

Cool vid and agree with most of the them lol. I gave my adult daughter my original car from high school (89 GT HB) and still has my Saleen Tail, Maier hood (2" cowl) and LX lights. I took off my autometer monster tach lol but kept all the other mods i did throughout college and early adulthood. Back in early 90's here in the SF bay area, saleen tails were popular and glad my daughter loves how it looks still. Lowered on Maier suspension (Mike Maier was in our Ford crew bitd) , Vortech S-trim, Chrome Ponys and PPI/Kicker sound system

[@ryansgirl2002]

Good to know I'm not the only parent that got their teenager a fox! We actually got our daughter two vehicles for her 16th birthday because she's inherited the gear head gene and is hot rod obsessed. The foxbody we got was meant to be the "more practical" daily driver and her fun car show/cruise around ride is a 1969 Oldsmobile 442. Big blocks aren't ideal for fuel economy lol it's barely street legal. I'm happy to report she's now nearly 20 and still has never gotten a speeding ticket, despite what all the other parents going berserk said! Lol she's also a certified auto mechanic and even though I eventually bought the foxbody back from her (she just had a baby and wanted 4 doors) she still is hot rod obsessed!

[@foxbodymotorsports]

Seriously wish the previous owner of my car knew about #4....entire A/C was savagely removed from my GT 👎👎👎 But the video gets three thumbs up man ALL valid points to follow!! 👍👍👍👊👊

[@JD144-]

110% agree with you! I admit, I do kinda like a GT fascia on a notch thought.
