I'm looking to put a 32V in the fox soon. Any tips?

7000 rpm??!! stock? Now that's what I'm talking about. I love revving stuff up and this just gets more enticing the more I look into it.

I didn't know that the IRS weighed 70 lbs more. So far, cost on the IRS hasn't been much of an issue, plus, my 8.8 has 130,000 miles on it. I'm finallizing with the seller on $700 for a slightly used '03 IRS. I'm not getting the shocks, springs, or control arms and bushings. But, those are all peices that I can replace with quality aftermarket components. I think that's what the current owner did and has probably already sold them. I think he switched to a live axle. I'm going to talk to him tonight.

So far the big expense looks like it's going to be the 32V top end. The only aftermarket parts I sourced are the FR500 parts from FRPP and they are wicked expensive. Throw in labor and they'll cost more than the whole rest of the project.

I'm still holding out on finding some stock parts from an '01.

The guy on stangnet who put the 32V in his '93: His engine bay looks awesome. I can't wait. If I can finish this in the next 5 months, I'm going to be a very happy man.

Well, Anyone looking for 89 GT take-off parts including the whole drivetrain (AOD), I'll have them available (hopefully) real soon.

Also, I was just informed that the '03 is a five bolt pattern. I already knew this, but it slipped my mind. So it looks like new rims and tires (at least on the back) are in the cards earlier than I wanted. If the budget permits, I'll do the front hubs and wheels at the same time, or it's going to have to go mismatched for a while. Then of course there's the rear brakes issue. fun, fun, fun...

320hp... 7000 rpms... dang, I wish there was a smilie symbol for drool. (note: the bottom end internals I'm getting are a 5.0 kit for the 32V) I'm interested in how much power I'll pick up with the extra displacement.
