@lftdblazer 8 месяцев назад

"Have you driven a Ford lately?" Yep, and I remembered why mine stays parked more often than not lol. Gotta keep the ol girl though.

@williambranco7710 8 месяцев назад

Love the old mustang ad 😅

@BlueOvalTavern 8 месяцев назад

you nailed it! First things I did to my Fox as a teenager in the 90's: 1. 10 minute tuneup & gutted stock h-pipe 2. weld in MAC mufflers 3. underdrive pulleys 4. MAC headers 5. 3.73 gears

@StLMikie 8 месяцев назад

I picked up a little 5.0 lx vert for my daughter. Her first mod is going to be 373’s.

@miguelortega3702 8 месяцев назад

So many parts available for anything you want to do since then. Such a beautiful and iconic car if you can get ahold of one in decent shape.

@ogsuperflygarage 8 месяцев назад

Excellent video Caleb! Definitely good mods for back in the day that didn't empty the wallet... My first Fox was a 1987 Mustang LX...

@LeachimSagrav333 8 месяцев назад

My first fox was a 1980 merc Capri 2.3 with a four speed.

@williamlane6374 8 месяцев назад

You absolutely need to get yourself a 87 or 88 T-bird to relive your old days and build it how you really wanted to build it, and it would be bad A, like Adams T-yote

@blownfox 8 месяцев назад

Great top 5 list #6 you know you had to drop a 3.73 or 4.10s next!!!

@reeseb9768 8 месяцев назад

There is no better sound than a 5.0 with flowmasters especially if it's manual as we say in the south when u getting down on that mfr snatching 2nd and 3rd ain't no feeling like it😮😊

@miguelortega3702 8 месяцев назад

Hey y'all. From the Northwest. As a original 89 Fox Body Mustang convertible owner ...

@adamrushka8096 8 месяцев назад

My first fox was a 85 Turbo Coupe.

@88_white_fox 8 месяцев назад

Dont forget about cutting springs to lower the car!!

@miguelortega3702 8 месяцев назад

I must say the first thing I did after purchasing it in December of 1988 was put a computer chip in for performance. K&N Filter. Underdrive pulleys. Ram air kit with a chin scoop. Full salleen suspension kit with subframe connectors g-load brace strut Tower brace. And soon after a 4-point roll bar. More aggressive wheels and tires.

@Shawn_42850 8 месяцев назад

I just put a set of Drag Lites on my coupe. I love old school Foxbody mods.

@BlownSkillet 8 месяцев назад

Each mod didn’t move mountains, but a half dozen, added up nicely.

@ZXDF51 8 месяцев назад

Love the throwback videos! The retro commercials at the beginning really make you miss how cool things really were.🐺👍

@ryanmcclendon3309 8 месяцев назад

Cutting’ a couple coils off would get you a few,cool points..for freeee!

@chetzeidler9517 8 месяцев назад

Definitely a good list and yes we all did those mods!

@FoxcastMedia 8 месяцев назад

The good old days!

@myeighty-nine7813 8 месяцев назад

Sometimes I wish I never did the 5 lug swap so I could keep the welds I had on my car when I bought it, but hell yeah now is the best time with everything available to us!

@nicklbckluvr 5 месяцев назад

In Canada now in 2023 BC. No emissions testing ☺ Remove ... Cats EGR Smog pump and all included plumbing A/C ( it was a one owner AOD car) cleaned up the underhand a lot!

@shaneswayze6228 8 месяцев назад

I've had 7 mustangs 5.0's ..I have a 93 LX now with a 331 KUNTZ motor..

@scottjohnson1210 8 месяцев назад

Bought my first one in high school off a older women (stock) back in 2003-2004. My first things were exhaust(flows), off road H pipe and cool air (BBK)

@paulbalzarano 8 месяцев назад

That whole list, plus gears and sub frame connectors.. we called that the starter kit. When we'd look in the classified ads for cars, we'd say, car has the starter kit. And if it was missing one or two, we'd say minus (insert mod). Great times! Being a broke teen and early 20s kid

@brokentoolgarage8609 8 месяцев назад

Good stuff! I grew up with Dodge trucks with smallblock carb setups

@jlem8968 8 месяцев назад

We would use the aluminum space saver rims on the front, short belt, take off the sway bar, I'm older so I remember we all thought the fuel injection cars were the end of the performance cars, my first fox was a 84 RS Capri I bought in 85 for $8000 with 27K on it. they didn't even make good heads back then, you ported everything, people would laugh at you if you had a performance Ford, but that changed fast after the Foxbodys took off

@jeffreychristianson9134 8 месяцев назад

Set of Headmann long tube headers. In 87-90 they were 99$ installed.

@jeffreychristianson9134 8 месяцев назад

Change out the rear gear. From 3.73 to 3.55 or larger gear this gives you a bit TQ seat of the pants feel. Also a better 0 to 60 time.

@05gtdriver 8 месяцев назад

An el cheapo intake mod was to hog out the upper and lower intakes, then JB Weld the upper since the metal was so thin...

@nathanieljones7981 8 месяцев назад

Caleb, on my 83 before it made 217 hp, after smog it hit 252 That’s with exhaust, Intake, 351w heads, rejetted carb

@MrLocomechanic 8 месяцев назад

Mac ftw!!!!!!

@craigmcleod5032 8 месяцев назад

Definitely a great list! Did all of them and would do it again .

@jasonquinn588 8 месяцев назад

I bought a b&m ripper shifter right before the pro 5.0 shifter came out… still in the car to this day

@FoxcastMedia 8 месяцев назад

I had a ripper as well!

@StrongStacker1 8 месяцев назад

Great video! OG is where it’s at Caleb!

@kevinniski1982 8 месяцев назад

Dude I would have said a match ram air kit with the big snorkel on bottom of bumper. That's my biggest remembrance of that era.

@FoxcastMedia 8 месяцев назад

Yes sir, those were the bomb!

@reaperstang2717 8 месяцев назад

Great video

@89stang8 8 месяцев назад

Did all of it still have the headers and flowmasters on 😅

@spassmore8483 8 месяцев назад

Great video brings back a lot of memories! Had to throw in one more though the short belt that made a pretty big difference without the power steering hooked up just had to muscle that steering wheel around unless you are on some skinnys up front then it wasn't bad at all...🦊💯🏁

@JasenRamsey-er6ek 8 месяцев назад

MAC headers. Hedman H pipe. Force II Cat back. Motorsport 65 TB. C&L mass air. BBK pressure regulator. And to top it off a NOVI 1000. Made 285 rear wheel hp. 🤣. Best mod was the 5 speed swap. Hands down.

@gerryj8839 8 месяцев назад

silencer delete-FREE, timing bump til it pinged, then back it down a degree (mine went to 18*)- FREE, Drill out the TPS and set to .99v- FREE, gutted all 4 cats- FREE, short belt- $20, synthetic fluids in engine, trans, diff- a couple of hundies, underdrive pulley set, hurst shifter (non-billet stamped steel) $95, 3.55 gears $500 installed. Then, I made mistake of cracking the engine open (full systemax heads, cam, intake) and it was like CRACK after that!

@mike4fo 8 месяцев назад

Nice

@jasonquinn588 8 месяцев назад

You must be about the same age as me… I graduated high school in 1995…I did all of those mods back in the day… #1 should have been gears… weld wheels were popular, but man it was a big deal back then to upgrade to the 16” pony wheels from the turbine wheels

@FoxcastMedia 8 месяцев назад

1996 here buddy!

@charliebruceortega8447 8 месяцев назад

1998 over here

@lamarrichardson1782 8 месяцев назад

Hell Yeah 👍

@rworden96 6 месяцев назад

Are those weld wheels just bolt on and go or modifications needed ?

@think1stproductions 8 месяцев назад

Cool video brother 🤔🚫🧢🎬💯💪🏼🥶🚐☁️

@BigRick-uq8lc 8 месяцев назад

Question can you run a B cam in a bone stock motor with bolt-ons. It would be a 94 GT

@89gtsmoke 8 месяцев назад

Can you share any resources for the vacuum lines deleted/ capped with the smog system delete?

@FoxcastMedia 8 месяцев назад

Yank em all, and plug the back of the heads.

@89gtsmoke 8 месяцев назад

No kidding! Still trying to run the HVAC Box. I'm guessing Brake Boost and the HVAC may be it. Bro - I Loved this Flashback. I got my 89 Vert back in 91 and I kept it stock and I'm going thru it now - Bringing her Back around. Was hoping to meet you n Brewty in DFW this year but my OCD kicked in and I've dug in deeper. She will be nice when I am done with her and am looking forward to hookin up w you fellas then. Really appreciate your time and content us old fox guys can understand this video well. Btw.. really appreciated your input on coaching these guys up what to look for when buying an old fox without getting ripped off - I was aggravated right along w you man! Hate for that cat who got took. Keep up the good stuff man!

@StLMikie 8 месяцев назад

Can you tell us about your shadow box tattoos?

@wesleyrobinson3939 8 месяцев назад

Yellow Accel plug wires added 5 hp

@FoxcastMedia 8 месяцев назад

@luecreative 8 месяцев назад

You know we love these mods!! The Retro Meet Necessities!

@FoxcastMedia 8 месяцев назад

Yes sir!

@bryanrobinson7969 8 месяцев назад

What about a powerdyne shoutout

@FoxcastMedia 8 месяцев назад

Not really budget, but yes, its definitely an OG mod

@glennramsey917 8 месяцев назад
