Foxy Green Foxbody Build

The foxbody clutch fork (1" shorter than sn95) is exactly what I needed this whole time to get header clearance. The bellhousing will need to be redrilled, but there's plenty of room if I can get a drill in there.

6 speed double overdrive

So 4 speed with double OD, lol.
Do you know what it weighs?

I would guess based on my bench press and bent over row strength I'd say 120 to 130lbs

Turns out I sent the wrong clutch fork back. Nothing a little nip/tuck won't fix

Just happened to read the instructions for my alternator. It says to not exceed 6000rpm. I think that's a dare

On EFI, if you kill the fuel pump the engine is off instantly, not lean, plain off.

With a carb, you kill the fuel pump, unless you are under load, it will start to run lean, idle will speed-up, then it will die. Yes, it is leaning out, but won't hurt a thing. Under load, it will lean-out, will it be able to run long enough to hurt something? I don't know. But I would rather have the engine off than running in an accident.

I like the old T5's, 75 lbs wet, lol, if that.
My toploader was 110ish but didn't look it and the jerico is supposed to be 74 lbs

Put a larger diameter pulley on it to slow it down a little. Your belt will probably thank you too.

You have a good memory. When Gordon gave up driving I stopped watching NASCAR.

Depends on what I'm remembering
Similar here, when Martin left Roush I was pretty much done.
Did you see the interview with Gordon after Earnhardt passed about going 3 wide into a corner with a rookie and Earnhardt ?

T5s are very appealing, but they don't have the strength.
I would love one in a 289/light sports car,
