Cool, that should work real well. My buddy is into Fox bodies and has had a few. He has tried sveral designs for cold air, but I don't recall which he liked the best. I guess the key is just getting that cold air. Should be a real fun ride when it is finished. -

That looks like a REALLY fun project.

What all do you need to do to convert to a V8? Do you just replace the whole subframe or do you just replace certain parts of the original subframe?

Did you replace the interior parts or just repaint them? -

i replaced the dash pad with a black oem remake from dashes direct, i replaced the seats with one out of a 93gt but they will be recover black, there a few other things on the inside i replaced.

as for the v8 swap...

you can use the factory sub frame since everythings the same.
but you do have to change out the wiring,fuel lines, and trans and trans x-member to make it run.

i also changed replaced the 4cyl springs with cut eibach springs and will be changing the rear end from a 7.5 to a 8.8 with 3.73 gears and adding a bigger radiator.

but other that its a pretty simple thing to do. but this isnt my first swap.
