THE ECOBOOST MOTOR IS IN

Got the motor in and started plumbing some things. Also mounted up the cup car pump and ran a bunch of lines. Excited to see it fit correctly and start finalizing some fab and items needed to make it run!
Big ups to BC Racing for bringing this awesome build to life!

[@dmisavage9113]

Hell yeah getting closer hyped to see this beast drifting

[@typer000371]

You've validated my fan shroud philosophy I've always been told is wrong. Lol

[@HighRollerzLP]

Such an awesome unique build. Can't wait to see you rip it

[@tbacklun3403]

This is a dream build. Cannot wait to see it rippin

[@racingextremeschassis7890]

Good job on the motor mounts Kellz!!🤙🤙 came out really good! Keep putting in the work brotha 💪💯🙏

[@Dustin.Owens23]

Is he talking about the drift week that happened like a couple months ago? Lol. Either way stoked to see how this thing is shredded

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea… I’m slow to get these up

[@trevormckeehen2010]

Yea I laughed when he said “if you see this and drift week’s already started…”

[@Tac_3403]

im so excited to see where this build goes. There are a few foxbody guys with an ecoboost swap around, but none of them will be drifting like this will!

[@AR-qr9eo]

Great vids

[@cliff4695]

Need more build videos. Digging the content

[@cheynelehnick7291]

I know you said you go through a lot of fiberglass but the Maier kit can be bought with the wheel well moved forward to account for how most of the angle kits move the wheel forward

[@MrBurndan]

The fox is gonna be sick. Cant wait to see it tandem with the Fun-Haver fox. I probably should have went ecoboost swap for my T-bird, for my wallets sake. A Barra can get expensive quick.

[@vangilanteryan713]

Ya i call em death traps. I dont like driving it at high speeds. lol. Coming along. Cant wait to see this baby rip.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

The sound of that engine is not great from the factory, agreed! A good selection of resonator/muffler type/intake manifold can change a lot tho! Could be raspy and tinny, or growly and burbly. I haven't heard a trumpety/VTEC/VR sound from one, but I bet it can be engineered. The 5.0 LX had the coolest dual tip exhaust imo from that era. They had the twin angle cut stainless 2.5in straight. The GT I thought looked dopey with the derp bumper and the turn downs. Dang that's gonna be a cool combo. Have you thought about doing an SVO style hood as a subtle nod?

[@foamdataservices]

I would make those front fenders in steel. You could then take moulds off them for infinite supply of spares. The shape looks like two stock metal ones could be cut up to get the well right. Crash protection in the 70'S was carrying a rubber in your wallet and a lap belt lol.

[@christianmoore63]

Dude no way I always wanted to ecoboost swap a fox body that’s sick your doing it

[@lb9gta307]

There's bolt on overs you can get. Matt Farah had a set on his car. It comes as a front and rear kit but the front and rear are the same IIRC.

[@rickybezjak9025]

Had a foxbody for my first car the first the we did was to the entire car was chassis reinforcements they twist and bend so easily but they're so worth it!!

[@rickybezjak9025]

Watching this build is almost the exact thing I wanted to do to mine 😅

[@zeph3187]

Good luck in rd 3.

[@FearlessGarage]

Absolutely dope!

Eco boost....motor build 👍....Mk 1 escort ,yes...

I could design a custom kit if you’d want, make this thing look pretty sick

[@awesomecooly123]

Please use a fan shroud if you are worried about heat, it makes the fan 2-3x more efficient. If you are really concerned about the fan blocking airflow you can make holes with flaps in the shroud that open with enough air speed.

[@chelseadenofa]

While I do agree about the shroud and I run fully shrouded fans that are engineered for drifting on most of my cars. I put one of these fans on one of our school cars just like this and it worked unreal well. So I’m debunking stuff and trying things.

[@awesomecooly123]

@@chelseadenofa In my personal experience i had unshrouded fans on my car and it would overheat at curisng speeds 30-50 but I put a shroud on it as well as big fans and it works amazing. It has the pass through holes as well. But It is a miata and the kit is from flyin miata so it's a tested kit, I can't say the same for a mustang and a diy shroud but just my 2 cents, I'm sure you'll figure out what's best.

[@fkncarl9302]

What if you cut the fenders tight to the arch on the rear and further out up front, then swap the cutouts from side to side to move the wheel arch forward.

[@darrelsmith3907]

Around 9:00 you said you were hoping to offer a plug'n'play solution with a base map. I was wondering if anything ever came of that? Thanks!

[@240sxoxo7]

Cant wait to see you kill it at Englishtown!

[@wthomasw2]

Was this supposed to be used in drift week 3? that's why you said it might be delayed :o

[@chelseadenofa]

Haha thats was the idea. But parts delays killed us

[@williamshelby1041]

Are your caster camber plates under the shock tower instead of on top? I cut my wheel well and move it forward 2 inches and just filled the gap in the rear.

[@drakecarter197]

Chelsea ive seen fan shrouds fabricated with holes and rubber flaps to solve the air flow whilst moving issue

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea for sure. All OEM cars have them as well. I do have another fan for the car that will work much better but these little things blow a real world 2500cfm

[@wadestewart901]

Do you have suffrage connectors front to rear. I also ran a strut tower brace. Thats number one things back in the day

[@kenthayer5833]

Don't know if you have mentioned before but what K member are you using. I know some K's make the wheels sit forward like that and others dont. Just a thought.

[@chelseadenofa]

QA1 with the arms moved forward.

[@thestigsamericancousin4588]

A) love this project, it's so cool B) why not run the same body kit as Vaughn's foxbody

[@tstuff1213]

Vaughnss Foxboddy is a Hatch so there is different dimensions that might mess up the body kit. Also Vaughns car was built over 6 years ago the body kit might not even be in production anymore unfortunately which could be why he hasn't fixed the body damage from over the years.

[@olajimimark]

Why does he have to built it like Vaughn's??? He can do whatever he wants

[@chelseadenofa]

Those are just flares

[@chelseadenofa]

Also his wheel isn’t moved forward a ton

[@lobsterwrangler1883]

Wil the zf adapter be available to the public??

[@mewsikjunkie]

Maier Racing has Fox overfenders. Not cheap though.. Glad to see she's coming along. Looove the build! www.maierracing.com/shop/fiberglass/individual-parts/79-93-mustang/

[@kelevra558]

My sn95 felt like that until i got a watts kit on the rear end and weld in subframe connectors.

[@maurolemus57]

Now days that is a hell of an option for a swap into anything!!!

[@azstacker1709]

I wanna drop one in a 94 ford ranger lol 🤙🤙

[@fundaandkady]

Wen it comes to the front and the rear in a mustang it’s a love hate relationship some days the rear wants to do wat ever it wants and others it listens to the front end lol

Put Japanese hotboi overfenders,sideskirts,front and rear bumper or custom the bn sports s13 bodykit to fit on it

I like cars without aero to destroy. Stock style is best for me, but obviously it’s not as cool

[@emanh4keem_san420]

@@chelseadenofa reliability > style I get it

[@NoClassic]

You could just section and slide the whole fender opening forward

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea. But I’d have to do that to at minimum 3 pairs. Which IMO the best way to do it is using part of another fender.
