LS1 / IRS Swapped 1990 Fox Body Mustang LX - One Take 

Matt, you gotta turn the tables and let Michael review YOUR Mustang! That would be a really great One Take!!!

This guy makes a great episode, cause he knows so much about his car!

LS foxbody..Its about time. The marriage of the best from Ford and Chevy.

I like Michael. Good kind of crazy. Like his car.

Late for work... continues watching anyway.

when OG car guys get together... you just sit back and try to understand! I feel smarter now.

Awesome build! I think The Smokin Tire needs to organize a trackday for people who have been featured on the one take to see how they do on the track :). Hint hint. Come on Matt we need some One Take on track battles happening. Could be a series in itself.

When is Matt going to buy a second mic so we can hear the passenger?

Listening to these two go back and forth about their respective cars modifications and not missing a beat is something to see!

As a Mach 1 owner, I would have been happier to see a coyote or terminator engine, but kudos for doing something different and controversial and making it all work. Others will scream, but in the end it is about what works for you.

Matt said " Homie"

This is one of those cars where the owner loves it, guys like it, but girls hate it! Dude, don't listen when she tells you "it needs to go" ;(

I have the same car with an ls swap and twin turbos it's a drift build... On Forza Horizon 3 😂 😂 😂...

I also like this owner. He's all about the drive, does the work himself, and doesn't care about looks and image. He actually knows how to form a coherent sentance! Cool car. Would like to drive it.

4:34 80 on the freeway at 1500mph? that's a bit insane!

*I Love this build!* Owner knows his shit.

This is the best one take so far! This one is going to be hard to beat lol. The owner knew his car inside out and actually knew what he was talking about. Loved how they were both into the convo. I was so into their convo, that I completely forgot about the dashcam lmao!

this dude is cool as fuck, I can see him driving serious, paying attention, and rocking skills.

Same car with more tire, an LS2 or LS3 with a baby cam, and a little more gear, is exactly what I've been looking at building for about a year. Just waiting for a nice chassis to fall my way. Great car, great video.

That is the coolest foxbody I have ever seen.

A Chevy motor in a Mustang? Some people are gonna freak out.

It's so nice how so many people on those roads get over for you.

One of the best one takes ever. Any no *ucks given 'drag car' that eats canyon like that is 100% in my books.

5.0s just have an iconic sound, growing up in the 90s when these cars were everywhere you could tell someone was getting on a mustang just from the sound without even seeing the car. Ls engines are great I've even done a couple swaps but it bothers me when people say it's cheap. It ends up being more expensive/or you spent tons of time fabricating instead of spending money. Only time it's cheaper is if it's half assed...

I vote this for One Take Car of the Year 2016

so sweet to hear the comparisons between the two cars

This guy is a great guest! Confident while speaking and easy going with Matt not nervous(looking) at all.

Two guys nerding out on their cars. Love it! Good One Take!

A 350 HP Fox Body is nothing to tale for granted. There's no nanny state controls on that thing. Our 90 GT 5 speed was hot for its day. It was fast already. Nice car.

Looks very much like a larger Ford escort xr3i we got in the uk. Sort of.

Man you guys know your fox bodies. What a great video.

god if every guest was like this the world would be perfect! if he doesn't have his own channel he should consider it cuz hes super personable! great video!

I helped torch out his old bushings in his IRS. Thanks for the plug Michael ;)

You know its a good video when the passenger is just as interesting as Matt

Not a Ford or muscle car guy...but wow that is one sorted Fox body. Lots of love and knowledge went into it. Dialed in for sure. Mad respect for the guy and the car that just is meant to be driven, not sit on a concourse.

Sick Camaro bro!

Would you two nerd out a little bit more please? Great thanks.

Best video this year. Mike really seems to know what hes talking about. Makes a good conversation!

another driver with a Valentine 1 awesome! it's so dope when car guys can get together and drive each other's cars for comparison... my 95 mustang with an IRS will be up for a one take soon...

That jammer is legit. Irs fox has to be so much fun!

I like how hard they bro out in the beginning about their cars

i thought id cry because of the blasphemy here but instead i only came out with mad respect for this build. super cool.

Awesome car !! Props for doing all the work himself and loved hearing you guys car talk while driving well done Matt !!

Very cool car, and cool dude along with it. It's so nice seeing someone who truly loves what he's doing.

Nice to hear about the suspension upgrades and the IRS. I'm swapping a 03 Cobra IRS into my 87 foxbody Saleen clone. I live near Denver so I'm excited to take it out for a mountain drive when it's installed.🎉

Kudos to the dude pulling to the side in his Corolla. No one here in Houston would've done that.

Killed the spirit of the Mustang, sounds like shit is right!

Matt's car and others like this is what inspired me to buy and build a Fox and do an IRS swap. Currently running a 306 but I have a 5.3 in the corner that I might put in, but I'd really like to go aluminum block to get some more weight out of the car.

Matt is running LHR!!! such a fun canyon!!

Respect to the owners who built their cars.

Very nice! Now to find an EVO swapped STI ...

Matt's foxbody vs Michael's foxbody. 1/4 mile and then 3 laps around a circuit that is close. Would be a sweet episode.

I love the IRS swap and the 2005 Mustang wheels.

fuck that a mustang with a ls1 u kidding me what a diss !!

Old school for sure! Can't say I miss this style

I need that iconic sound, I also need to do all the things and use all the parts I read about in the magazines.

I love the LS1 in my clean m6 02 z28 (I got manual crank windows too), Glad to see a modified version in Michaels nasty stang.

I think you guys should both take ur cars into a racetrack and find out, which one is faster!

I"m glad this car exists

That plywood visor tho!🔥🔥🔥

This the type of car I like to see on your channel. Thanks.

I like how it looks from the outside.

I love that Matt got a guy that knows his shit

Hey Farah, a /TUNED episode with this guy and his car would be $$$$$.

i lost it at ''if it looks like it doesn't fit in there, hit it some more!''

That LS1 looks beautiful sitting in that Fox Body!

nicely done! this was one of the best episodes so far!

Mustang Matt vs. Mustang Michael for some fun on a track. Gotta make it happen. Each person drives each car :D

My hometown of Santa Clarita!!!!

He said he was doing 80mph at 1500 miles per hour in 6th :P lol.. Love the fox bodies.

I expected this car to be loud but this thing was surprisingly quiet

I saw the title and hit like before the video had loaded...

this was an awesome video, like two best friends talking about their beasts.

That's a philosophy to live by. "It still doesn't fit? Hit it some more with a hammer!"

Based on this setup this has to be an autox car, bet it would be a blast

I actually just traded my truck for a 2000gt with a 302 swap and tremic 5 speed transmission. Amazes me the torque these old engines produce.

Diggin the spark plug keychain

You can tell how tight the shifter is just by looking at the movements

I love the crazy one takes like this. sweet build

I look at yhe phone and see this fox again was like ah....old video... clicked on it, and fuck ya!! Lol and reviewing matts fox is best comment

Best one take ever. Good Job on this the vid and audio is great. Thanks Guys!

Great Video!!!! Nice job guys.......

this is THE video where Matt and Passenger talk soo000ooo much about the specifics of the car

should have put a cobra motor in it

Hey, Michael, I really dug your show with Corbin. Best of luck!

Now this is what you call a car !

Anything with a LS swap is good :)

seems like a cool dude and knows his shit sick feature

Love the household light switch.

The Ford boys must be going Crazy and swearng while the CHEVY are going"YEAH". LOL

I like the light switch!

that light switch is funny

Though I am a JDM fanboy, I do love the fox body. Best bang for buck power there is

I'm a simple man, I see Fox Body in the title and I hit like

Regret watching the video without reading the title first 😩

Great one take, one hell of a creation!

Coyote swapped fox would be cooler to me but this thing is still awesome

If I close my eyes all I hear is the "too many brains, not enough balls" guy from 'Road Trip'.

I had a '90 lx 5.0 with all the right go fast parts and I loved it but, being honest, a modern LS can put any pushrod 302 to shame. A more fair comparison is the coyote against an LS and even then GM will usually win. The fox body is a fun, light, simple, if crude, platform and is a better foundation for a serious motor than any third or fourth gen Camaro which were heavier, more flexible, and more likely to have things fall off than similar vintage Mustangs. So this review is the best of both worlds.

LS series engines are king, even though the Ford fans are in denial. Ls offers power, its compact, lightweight, cheap and tons of aftermarket support.
