Subject: BBC in a Fox Author: Bill [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:40:36 01/25/06 Wed What's up? I've decided to drop a big block in a late 80's coupe. I plan on doing pretty much the same thing as I did with the small block, but I'm wondering if I can get away without running a mid plate. Any idea what kind of numbers require running a mid? Will probably have to bite the bullet on headers this time. I'm going to try and install with the stock K. I'll post back up. Anybody that's done a BBC please let me know if you ran into anything unsuspected - like tranny tunnel for TH400. Thanks [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I used a PA racing K member and a AJE trans cross member for the 400. Bolted right up. I can send you some pictures if it will help. Good luck. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: BBC in a Fox Author: Steve Stuart [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:59:40 12/16/08 Tue I have done a BBC/TH350 in a '87 Stang. Fits better that I ever imagined. I used stock K member fabbed my own mounts using stock car style mounts. Made my own trans crossmember that bolts in the fox mounts. Fabricated my headers from a set of '69 Nova for a BBC. Cut every tube and started from scratch. Turned out really nice and had them ceramic coated. I haven't had a chance to install a 9" yet, still have the 4 cyl. 3.45 (7.5) rear in it. This project is still in progress. I did though, go to the strip and took a chance on the stock rear. Leaving very gently (soggy 1.71 60') it ran a bearable 11.43 @ 118. Once I figure out how to post pics I'll send some out. Thanks, Steve [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
