[@mikesavoy8861]

Nice workb

[@connorharris1629]

Awesome man, I’m going to put a bbf and t56 in my 95 gt. Glad to hear it doesn’t add weight! Cutting all the extra stuff off anyway.

[@joebenavides5398]

Awesome car brother 🤙...I have an 84 gt same color but with same 302 but a little more towards da wild side!... I have a 460 bbf n looking for a shell to stuff it der ...great car man! Joe El POCHE Benavides from Laredo Texas 🤙☮️💯🙏

[@stillgrowinglandscape3623]

Is it fast, gotta love that lop man your car sounds good and you did it right.. 460 in fox hell yeah.. glad it's not an LS

[@PhysifistEngineering]

I never dynoed it and I never took it to the strip, but man, the torque hit everytime I shifted was awesome.

[@johnnytorino9455]

Very indepth. Very good. No bullpucky. And it sounds great through my Bose blue tooth.

[@PhysifistEngineering]

For some reason there is a huge gap before it plays the video and I always worry people think it's over and don't get to hear it run.

[@danielparker9599]

WOW I bet that will break a few hearts of Chevy guys that think there fast.

[@78mrdad]

Nice build

[@joescars4075]

It sounds great you should be pretty damn proud of that built I have a 1985 with a big block but it has a powerglide in it and it's mainly a track car it runs 950 on the motor I love when people do things that others tell them they can't

[@michaeldolcemascolo1173]

What size bbf did you build.

[@michaeldolcemascolo1173]

How much horsepower did it make im building a stroker with all.of John Kaase stuff basically his 1100 on motor build with his new head design should make 1500 on spray with glide.

[@Ritston99]

What kind of mufflers?

[@PhysifistEngineering]

The cat back is a 3" Flowmaster system.

[@Ritston99]

@@PhysifistEngineering love the sound...I was always concerned that if you go big block you would lose that foxbody mustang sound...its very distinctive

[@jluvstangs93]

Wonder how this looks now ?

[@jamespalmer9556]

sounded pretty good

[@Ritston99]

What kind of seats are those?

[@PhysifistEngineering]

Procar by Scat. You can get them in vinyl or velour in a ton of different colors. And they make brackets to mount into fox bodies.

[@PhysifistEngineering]

I just put a pair of grey velours in my '95 Jeep Cherokee as well. You can get them in standard size or XL which is a little wider. Jegs, Summit, even Amazon.

[@prophet409]

Show that bad boy under the hood, and clutch hookup begins that big block.

[@PhysifistEngineering]

I used the factory clutch cable. At the bellhousing I welded a small plate with a hole in it for the end of the clutch cable to sit in. I used a HD 5.0 clutch fork, and a Lakewood 460/tremec bellhousing.

[@prophet409]

Thank you for getting back to me. I was thinking about putting a big block in my 84 convertible, but I didn't want to have a 4 inch scoop, or go to an automatic. I love driving a stick car.

[@PhysifistEngineering]

@@prophet409 The big block torque hit you get every time you shift...it's the best feeling.

[@railbosshonda]

nice build. I'm having issues with the clutch cable melting on the headers. I'm running the 460 with hooker super comp long tubes.

[@PhysifistEngineering]

I used spark plug fiberglass boots around the clutch cable where it passes by the header. That worked well.

[@railbosshonda]

I will definitely try that today. That's after I pull my trans out again to install a longer clutch fork so that the clutch cable isn't at such an angle/cutting into my quick time bell housing

[@donnie422]

Awesome build. Dig it.

[@devinratliff3335]

❤

[@mustangracer84]

I have some questions about the build, namely what brand k member did you go with?

[@stwhite5135]

I think it's great that you built it so you could use the stock hood. I would see no need for a stick shift with the BBF engine. But that's just my opinion. This is a very good build.

[@PhysifistEngineering]

St White You just don't like sticks?

[@stwhite5135]

No I drive a stick. They're fun. It's just that with all the power of a BBF you don't need a stick to wring every ounce of power out of the engine. And especially if you're going to race it a properly set up auto will beat a manual every time. I'm not criticizing your car. Please don't get that idea. I love the way you take on a challenge and conquer it.

[@PhysifistEngineering]

St White Autos are great for drag racing, but I don't drag race anymore, and manual transmissions are a lot of fun when combined with all that torque. Also, it's nice having overdrive and the ability to track the car where an automatic would be useless.

[@stwhite5135]

OK I see. To each his own.

[@PhysifistEngineering]

I think you're just looking at it from a drag racing perspective.

[@teamshinoda]

What motor mounts did you use

[@PhysifistEngineering]

I used a factory clutch cable setup with the billet quadrant and firewall adjuster.

[@franklightfoot2669]

Nice build can I get a email to ask more questions about the build

[@robinwettach5734]

Chevelss454 at yah o.o. I'm not sure what all I'll remember but ask away.

[@Dad-jk2wd]

Awesome job...very clean. What brand are those mid length headers?

[@railbosshonda]

What clutch fork did you use? I'm using the pre 1994. I'm going to try the 1994-95 since it's an inch or so longer. My clutch cable is cutting into my quick time bell housing. The cable is angled bad

[@PhysifistEngineering]

if I remember it was the HD version of the factory 87 to 93. My bellhousing didn't have a provision for the cable so I fabricated a bracket.

[@franklightfoot2669]

Physifist Engineering what you use for motor mounts

[@robinwettach5734]

@@franklightfoot2669 I believe it was the Ford Racing 460 Fox body swap mounts. They had isolators so they werent solid mounts. I can't remember if they were rubber or prothane.

[@ezekielmoore1318]

What brand headers are they

[@PhysifistEngineering]

Hooker midlengths

[@TeddyTheYetti]

I'd like to know if the 85 is exactly the same as the 89 & 90 Stangs

[@PhysifistEngineering]

TeddyTheYetti In what regard? it has many differences.

[@TeddyTheYetti]

Physifist Engineering. like suspension. motors, transmissions. Rear-end, Drive train.

[@PhysifistEngineering]

TeddyTheYetti btw, did you see the video at the end? There is a long pause after the slide show so I want sure if anybody noticed.

[@TeddyTheYetti]

Physifist Engineering I'm not sure if I noticed. I do like the video and great work BTW..you're very gifted.

[@ezekielmoore1318]

Do you have any drive videos

[@PhysifistEngineering]

No, this video is about 8 years old.

[@ashikagaskilaa]

What crossmember did you use?

[@PhysifistEngineering]

Good question because the first one I used wasn't compatible with my 85, it pushed the wheel too far forward in the wheel well creating rubbing issues. It was either Maximum motorsports or QA1. I honestly don't remember.

[@PhysifistEngineering]

Or were you talking about the tranny x member? I reused the old one.

[@TeddyTheYetti]

What's your email

[@railbosshonda]

what cable set up did you use?

[@PhysifistEngineering]

i used the factory cable for the 85 GT
