im doing a terminator swap in my fox does anyone know how can i make it fit with stock or smallest hood possible as in shorter motor mounts ?

Cut down your motor mounts. In the Novemeber '07 issue of MM&FF they tackle that issue. Also I think that they mentioned a compny that made a custom K member for this application. Goodluck, it's gonna be BMF when finished.

There's a guy I know on the local forum I frequent that is doing the same swap into a notch. From what he's saying it's alot of work, It should be an 8 second car when he's finished though. Good luck with the project though.

i know that AJE makes all their kmembers to order, i'd call them and see if they can fab you one up, then call kooks and have them do up some nice headers

I remember reading about a full Terminator swap into an '84 Collector Edition (one of the cars with the Shelby stripes/GT-350 badging). IIRC, the only exterior mods were the '03 Cobra wheels, so it must be possible to fit the motor under the stock hood.

FM1R · May 12th, 2008, 10:02 PM

MM&FF put one in a notchback, it has been done numerous times already. I'm anxious to see the pics of this buildup. It's been a dream of mine to build a '93 Cobra clone, and swap in a KB'd or Whipple'd termie w/ 6 spd, and IRS.

Kooks?????? I was going to have Kooks do my headers for my mod fox swap, and they wanted over $2500!

93 > You'll need atleast a 2.5" cowl hood, or a k-member, with drop mounts if you want to use the stock hood. Good luck with your swap, you'll need it. I didnt have any with mine!

AnglicoGT98 · May 14th, 2008, 10:09 AM

I researched this same thing for about a month. Be ready for ALOT of work and extra $$$ to put into it. You're talking ATLEAST a 10 year difference in technology so almost nothing will be able to swap over on that end. I am not trying to insult you're inteligence by any means, but make sure you go through EVERYTHING before going ahead with this....PITA. (And as a side note...if you need a Termi engine I have one putting out over 450 HP for sale)
