Another fox 4v build

mtw002 · October 7th, 2010, 02:56 PM

So I'm building a 4.6 4v 1982 fox now. It was a gt at one time but now its just setting in my garage w/o a engine and trans so i came across a cheap mark 8 i'm going to use for a donor car. I'm changing the 7.5 rear end for a 8.8 that i took out of a 88 turbo thunderchicken w/disc brakes. I'm swapping to a manual rack (car will see mostly track) and manual brakes both of which i found in a early fox. I'm using a stock gt mustang kmember right now. I'll be running the harness and computers from the 95 mark 8 so wiring shouldnt be too much of a ass pain. The one thing i'm wondering is will the mark8 oil pain work in the fox chassis w/ a stock 4.6 gt k member? i know they have a extra oil reservoir on the side of the oil pan. Also is there a after market air intake for the mark 8 engines? I'll load pictures of the swap process.

I know its been done before but its my first 4v.

i'm fairly certain you need a tubular k member like maximum motorsport's one, or the like.

i would be willing to be that the lincoln oil pan isnt gonna work. there was no way that thing was gonna work in my car when i swapped engines. good thing is any 4.6 mustang oil pan will fit that block.

Well if the oil pain isnt going to work i'll just swing over to the local pull and pay and pull me a oil pan. I didnt think it would so i thought id ask. Its all good i have to grab a newer fox fuel tank/pump also.

The Mark oil pan wont clear a stock 96+ K member. It's a crap pan anyway you would be better off with a GT pan and pickup tube. As for an aftermarket air intake, none that I have seen, at least none for the 93-95 intake. If you go with a 97-98 or a Cobra intake, then yeah.

Has anyone on this forum completed a fox 4V swap?
