and he didn't put it into a crowd of people when leaving! Anything you could do to get rid of a ford powertrain is an improvement.

The word "purist" is WAAAYYYY over used. There has to be a better word. I believe this thing is an ABOMINATION!

The Honda drivetrain is an improvement no doubt. Way more reliable than what was in there.

Its his car. He didn't build it for you.

Always the "rebel" to post a flawed opposing view, Gkent.
Yeah, it is HIS car but he is just as much of a dork as the guys that only post opposing opinions on forums to piss off the others.

I know that isn't a Fox Platform but the fox chassis has received almost any engine swap imaginable at this point, you would think the ford people would be used to it.

Swaps I have seen first hand into the fox platform.
LS
G3 Hemi
Small Block Mopar
Small Block Chevy
Big Block Chevy
2JZ

WHY ???? In the xxxx are we even talking about mushtangs or hondcrap cars ?????

CONFORMITY

"Conformity, the process whereby people change their beliefs, attitudes, actions, or perceptions to more closely match those held by groups to which they belong or want to belong or by groups whose approval they desire."

I'll add big block RB Mopar to your list. I have a buddy with a Fox that has a 440 in it. Yes, I've seen it. No, I don't know why he did it.

Fox platform flat out works for drag racing, there was a guy not long ago that wanted to cut the body off and put a barracuda body on the fox platform, along with mopar power just the get the advantage

These 'insert this thing to piss people off' videos are a plague on YouTube.

I had two friends racing 10.5" tire heads up fox mustangs for awhile. One had a big block chevy and the other a 408 small block ford. The BBC motor was so much easier to check plugs on you would have sworn it was the original setup lol.

i'm sure if any of these showed up at Chryslers at Carlisle the oldheads would have the same reactions as the ford oldheads that hated the mustang.

Did we forget about Finnegan's Death Metal Charger?

(Crowd reactions near the end of video)

it doesn't matter to me.
this is basically what hot rodding your car is all about.
use what you have available to you on the cheap and make it work. this is better than it going to the crusher.
there are probably more old street rods using another manufacturers drive trail than ones with their original stuff.

Anyone remember The member here named Toypar?
He had a Mopar powered Toy-Yota.

I saw a Barra powered Fairmont on sick summer. You name it, the fox body gets it!

Agree 10000% with rhinodart
