**BLOOPER** I refer to a “Euro” Foxbody in the video as opposed to the “Aero” Foxbody as I was thinking about those Euro taillights 🤦🏼‍♂️ That said, let me know what you guys think of my No-No List and again just to reiterate; my intentions are not to disrespect and/or offend anyone! Hope you guys enjoy the video!!🏁

[@johnnyfox6673]

I knew what you meant when you said Euro fox; shit happens🦊

[@richardsonchristopher9523]

Missed: Same colour painted mouldings 🤮

[@PaulDaFox]

@@richardsonchristopher9523 Yeah that's a really good one that I would have included. Thanks for the secondary comment🏁

[@marcoufd9679]

Why you holding your hands like that?

[@PaulDaFox]

@@marcoufd9679 Hey Marco, I hold them like that because I naturally talk a lot with my hands and they fly all over the place, so I've been trying to work on keeping them in one spot. Thanks! 🏁

[@joshuabroad7120]

I agree with all of them but maybe the LS swap would have been a little higher on the list for me. Thanks

[@PaulDaFox]

Thank you, and for sure some will have the LS swap higher if not number 1.

[@jaewhite2462]

It's better then pulling the 2.3 and sticking in a 302 like happens often. 2.3 is a much more powerful engine with ability to make 700+ hp , while the 302 breaks in half at 415hp and is not even as reliable. Aftermarket may not have fixed the headflow issues of the 2.3 yet but tuners certainly have. Leave the bangers in the banger Stang's and save the 302 cars for engine swaps.

[@johnmilner5485]

@@jaewhite2462 been awhile ago but I consistently hit my stock short block ( it had a main girdle ) car with a 250 shot and it lived for quite some time , when it went it was a rod , not the block . Funny you mentioned the tune above because there are many people pushing stock production blocks past the supposed limitations , because of tune , especially boosted cars. But whatever man.

[@Lethal_Venom]

Well if I ever did a foxbody build that was pretty much everything I planned on doing. Back to the drawing board.

[@PaulDaFox]

Thanks for the great laugh, Love it🙏🏼🏁

[@jamesblack7091]

I totally forgot about those chrome fender flares🤦🏼‍♂️ List was on point!

[@PaulDaFox]

Thanks James!! 🙌🏼🏁

[@jayjay8418]

You forgot to mention mix and matched body kits… half Saleen, half stock, half Dech.. looks like they were built from parted out cars. Also, it’s not Euro style, it’s AERO style……..

[@PaulDaFox]

OMG🤦🏼‍♂️ I can’t believe I didn’t catch that in my editing as I was thinking about those Euro taillights. Really appreciate you pointing that out and I also agree with your mix match of body kits. Thanks again👊🏼🏁

[@davedave2882]

As a 49-year-old man I mostly definitely agree with your list! Although I think the LS swap would have been before the hideous one piece headlights.

[@PaulDaFox]

Hey dave dave, I ran the list backwards so the LS swap was before the 1 piece headlights. Thanks for watching, have a great night🏁

[@rustyzipper6304]

No offense taken. I agree with most of what you posted, but, when I build a car, I build it to suit myself. I don't give two hoots what anyone else has to say about it or what they think it is worth. I don't know why anyone should have a say in how anyone else builds their car or how it "devalues" the car. If you like something and it makes you happy to have it that way, do it. I do find it ironic that a guy who basically is sitting in front of drag race inspired car is spouting about devaluing your fox body though.

[@PaulDaFox]

Hey Rusty Zipper, I certainly appreciate the feedback and as mentioned in the video I did say it’s your car and you do as you please as I have done. That said, the video was geared more towards a stockish foxbody about devaluing it, but nonetheless you make a valid point about me sitting in front of my drag oriented fox. I’ll eat that!! Have a great night🏁

[@user-bc1my2ci7k]

Building your Fox is like any other project, you personalize it to what you like, not necessarily to what this guy likes.

[@PaulDaFox]

It was just a fun no-no list but I agree, build it how you like it 💯💯

[@neilsvidz9577]

My dream fox is aero front end, capri fenders and quarters on a notch with t-tops, and 93 cobra ground effects package, pace car recaros, whipple coyote, 10 speed auto. That is the ultimate cruiser that the wife can still drive. Magnum T56 if she isn't gonna drive it. Air conditioning and NO cage.

[@GearheadRob319]

Great video Paul. I actually agree with at least 11 of your 12. My number 1 is, keep it Ford Powah!

[@PaulDaFox]

Thanks brother, would love to know (just out of curiosity) which one that you would leave off? Either way, I appreciate you watching! Have a great night👍🏼👍🏼

[@robertbruce4308]

I've owned 2 foxes 89 gt auto conv great car efi 3.73 shift kit cam heads intake 320hp. The current car 93 gt 5spd was my buddies. Sold it to me after it dropped a valve. He got it 6 months prior from a guy in New Jersey that swapped it to carb and hacked all the wiring. When we built our 347 stroker I decided to leave it carb cheaper to use some of what was there and gut and rewire the whole car than to buy a whole new efi harness and possibly ecu. Happy how it turned out 450hp on pump gas 410 gears. Nice little ripper.

[@PaulDaFox]

Thanks for sharing that Robert and seems like converting to carb was the best case scenario in your situation. Sometimes, less is more! and sounds like you have a nice ripping fox! Appreciate you watching, have a great day!! 👊🦊🏁

[@mikeannen4458]

I'm with you on 95% of that list, but im an old guy ,we had Foxbodys in high school,I like the look of the Dayton rims but I don't think I'll be putting them on my GT vert.

[@PaulDaFox]

Thanks brother, I appreciate the comment and the Daytona's are making a small comeback to a select crowd.

Lol🤣 that made me laugh brother! Thanks for the comment and for watching, have a great day!! 🏁

[@ScottM5.0]

John Doc, on one of LS NASTY’s latest videos, said SBFs can make more power than LSs. Cost is often cited as the reason, as if anyone is going to run a stock “junkyard” engine. Save up for another month or 2. There’s no reason to rush. These cars aren’t built in a week.

[@PaulDaFox]

Well said🙌🏼 Thanks for the comment and for watching, much appreciated. Have a great day🦾🏁

[@ryanfox5905]

Love and agree with your list!! Nice coupe in the background🔥🔥

[@PaulDaFox]

Thanks Ryan, appreciate that🙌🏼🏁

[@Trendkilllx]

I'm guilty of the monster tach. I will say it was nice having it for pulls while tuning. The stock tach was just way off. I'll eventually get a aftermarket gauge cluster.

[@PaulDaFox]

It’s all good brother, I’m guilty of it too when I was younger. Now I like the programmable MSD pen light, super accurate, small and can literally tuck it anywhere. Thanks for watching, appreciate it🤙🏼🏁

[@lovthaigurlz]

No no's 12. One piece headlights 11. Four eye headlight front end conversion to 87-93 Euro front end & vice versa 10. EFI to carb conversion & vice versa 9. LS swaps 8. Huge cowl hood 7. Giant Saleen wing 6. GT ground effects on a LX notchback = I agree 5. LX exhaust tips through a GT rear bumper 4. Wire wheels 3. Monster tachometer on dash 2. Chrome fender flares = I bought one with them, yuck! 1. Euro taillights

[@PaulDaFox]

Love it brother, thanks for watching and have a great day!! 👊🏼🦊🏁

[@automotiveaddiction428]

I put a body kit on my 85 hatch...it dont fit..but its on..dont want my car to be the same as everyone else's..its a poor man's fox..and when it comes time to sell it hopefully another poor man will get it cheap and into it as I did making it there own car...nice cars cost to much..thumbs up good video

[@JDGarage0]

Good video. Agree expect the LS swap. 190 whp from the 5.0 is not enough in 2022. Tired of getting beat by all motor Hondas civics

[@PaulDaFox]

Thanks J and d garage, the LS will definately bring in more power and I hear ya, the 4 bangers these days are impressive! My son has a 2017 Golf R with some bolt-on mods and a tune and its impressive with the DSG tranny! That said, nothing an On3 turbo kit or V1 supercharger couldn't correct.

I would have put ls swap number 1 and saleen wing number 2. Great video by the way sir

Hey Peter, sorry for the delayed response...I like your train of thought, your order is just a little different then mine but that's kool. Thanks for watching, have a great night!! 👊🦊🏁

[@AGBULLIT]

I like the one piece headlights! I wanted to do a face off front end swap of a Mercury Capri and a 1993 Mustang Coupe. I think I will just get an SVO or Mexican Mustang coupe. Thanks for the advice.

[@PaulDaFox]

Hey brother, it’s all personal preference and as long as you like it; that’s all that truly matters. I’m going to do a 1 piece headlight on my race coupe to close those gaps for less drag. Thanks again!! 👊🏼🏁

[@davesilva75]

I agree with all ..but 1.. I had a 1986 first yr efi mustang back n the day in 1996 , I put a victor jr intake a 650 holly carb msd box car was alot faster .

[@PaulDaFox]

Hey Dave, I appreciate the feedback and no doubt the carb would be badass, I guess I was referring more to where the market is going with these foxbody prices. Thanks for watching and I'm still interested in doing a profile with your BEAST 👹

Ls swap should be #1!..that kills the value more than putting chrome fender flares or euro lights!!..Lol!

I bought my foxbody from a previous "drag racer" I knew going into it would be a mess but it's the only way I could afford to get one before the prices even for that would be out of reach. anywho yeah please don't drill into the dash or A piller I'm constantly finding new damn holes all over the car the welder I hire to fix the firewall and wld new seat supports and Ebrake mounting will put their kid through... maybe the first 2 classes of college and all the books (pretty expensive).

[@PaulDaFox]

Morning John, you bring up some really great points especially about buying a drag racing foxbody!! I 💯 agree a drag fox is going to be messy and equally difficult to get back into somewhat stock trim. Thanks for the great comment, appreciate you watching the video; have a great Sunday!! 👊🏼🏁

[@mikew6135]

I agree on the no LS swap unless you go carburetor which would be cool. Also a BigBlock Chevy swap would be nice. Big block Ford is good too but parts for the Chevy just makes it better. 632 carbureted with a dual stage progressive nitrous kit would be awesome.

[@PaulDaFox]

Hey Mike, I really appreciate your comment and point of view and yes, a 632 Carb’d nitrous motor would definately be badazz. Thanks for watching🏁

[@The_Bears_Tracks]

@@PaulDaFox The one I just bought came with a higher cowl with hood Pins and the monster tach on the dash. Two things I’d never do. But the cowl has to stay for now due to paint. I now have to decide remove the tach and leave holes or just leave it in. As for your list it was well thought out and I thought your explanation of each was spot on

[@PaulDaFox]

@@The_Bears_Tracks Thank you🙏🏼 was the monster tach screwed into the dash itself or did they attach it to the cluster bezel? Thanks for the reply🙌🏼🏁

[@The_Bears_Tracks]

@@PaulDaFox screwed into the dash

Got you beat by 7 years! Mine is a 1985 5.0 H.O. LX notch that I ordered in April 85. Last year and the best of the carbed non-computer Fox. Upgraded to a Dart based 427 Windsor engine I built 11 years ago and still running strong with it's Holley 4bbl. carbs. Yes carbs as in a pair of 660's setup built and tuned by me. Wish I could post a pic here. Original paint and interior and had to have the 4 inch cowl hood for carb/air cleaner clearance. At 68 yrs. old still enjoy the 5 spd with a 3.50 geared 9 inch and Detroit Locker....all old school!

Curious as to how you would feel about my most recent build... remember in the late 80s when ford wanted to replace the mustang with a fwd car? Well,I found a trashed out(had been on its roof) 87 mustang gt,and used the chassis(entire floor,frame rails,suspension,drive train,ect.) To build the car that ford wanted to build. I put a 92 probe gt chassis on a fox and I love it!!! Its lowered,skinny/fat combo with weld wheels,probe has a molded fiberglass body kit,painted candy tangerine with ghost flames,top half of the car is black with ghost flames. 75% of this car is fomoco,the rest is aftermarket gofast parts.

I had an '89 notch back, that the previous guy put saleen clone parts on. 351w, .030over 10.5-1 big cam, 1050dominator, 2000stall, 4.10 totally reworked suspension oversized sway bar etc. That sucker would fly, as a street racer in the mid nineties, there was very few that could run with it. Totally impractical as a daily, at 5-7mpg, but hi-test 93octane was $0.99gal on Fridays at the coastal mkts(Sunoco) Man I had a ton of fun with that sucker. was blazing 295/50 BFGs off every chance I got.

Paul, good video! I think we are going to see less and less of the ls swaps in these cars, because of the prices of foxbodys is high, also The coyote is replacing the ls swap in these cars. Which i am very happy that all of this is happening because i cannot stand an ls in these cars lol. I know everyone says "ls is cheaper" but is it really? If you examine it for the swap vs a coyote swap the parts needed are the same. Cost for either swap i bet is close,junkyard motor,they both need a computer system,trans,k member, headers, etc. The cheaper argument doesn't really hold up any longer nor does the "faster" argument.

[@PaulDaFox]

Morning Joe, 100% agree with you brother and you make a lot of great points so thank you for your excellent comment! 🙌 I too have also questioned what the actual cost of doing an LS swap vs a Coyote swap and that is a great video idea for a comparison. Thanks for watching and have a great day! 🦾🏁

Lots of good points. Some of the mods are in poor taste or destroy the vehicles value. Great video!

It's a mustang, you aren't really worried about value or you would buy a real car. Mustangs for are cheap fun while you are young.

[@PaulDaFox]

@@jaewhite2462 Yes, its a fox body but their values have soared and will continue to do so! Besides, what you consider cheap maybe super expensive for someone else and they see it as a their Ferrari. Thanks for the comment! 🏁

[@CwalkKh3m1sT]

Agree with 11 of the 12, I could see a really clean notch get away with a gt body kit & no wing out with a nice paint job and panels that line up. I also think moldings and car colors can really make a car pop such as a white coupe on black moldings. Just my 2 cents, not an expert by any means. As for the arguments and infinite debates on why or why things get done on these cars with or without regard for value, I think people go to the combos they know best. I'm not a fan of the ls mindset or swap, but I know now watching the no prep scene explode that alot of big hitters swear by their ls turbo stuff. Reason? Maybe the tuning aspect of things, maybe it's what they know to tune best. I wouldnt even swap a coyote in mine for thar matter, prefer the sbf with a blower or a turbo (blower in my case). The big drag racer crowd of people with a budget in mind and no regard for value on the car will do what they need to do whatever it maybe (ls swap, tubbing, tube chasi & whatnot). Others keep it pure, super clean but sell em, buy another clean one and sell again. People will just stick to what they know and the diversity will always be around.

Hello Paul! I cannot disagree with anything you covered in this video. I might add do not have your tires exceeding the wheel wells, (like the Daytona wire wheel photo). It looks ridicules. Go with Mini tubs or shorten the axles!! I do however, love the Chevy LS platform of engines, but keep your Mustang all Ford for best value. A 302 stroker motor or 351 W stroker can get you lots of horsepower too. Thanks for sharing and cheers from Motown/Dearborn.

[@curtismccombs2212]

People will put a ls into a fox and then post it on marketplace for 15k. If they are so cheap to build then why are they pricing them so high. 😅

[@PaulDaFox]

That’s a good point! I truly wonder what it truly costs to do a “junk yard” LS swap. It’s probably not as cheap as it seems with all the other things that need to be changed. Anyhow, thanks for watching, appreciate the comment and have a great night!! 👊🏼🏁
