That should be a 95 with the fold down center seat. If you get it I will buy some parts off of ya.

are those FR's on your coupe?

[Pitbull1052]

anyone know what all I'd have to change to go this route????

Its just like putting a 351w into a fox.
You'd need an oil pan, headers, ecu to keep the fuel injection.
Its not that hard to do therr are just some differences in the install.

hmmmm makes it kinda interesting....... will my T-5 bolt right up or ????

[Timido]

94 the fold down seat was an option. Why take the engine out of a decent Lightning?

[Stangman]

Wow... I want that...

[Pitbull1052]

I dunno it was just a thought, I mean a top end kit is about the same as this whole truck.......

as long as you have the correct bell and a T5 with the V8 input shaft you shouldn't have a problem.

Smoked headlights would look sick. I think it would go great with the white body and black moldings!

[Pitbull1052]

me too........ I was just looking at them in my LMR catalog do the fronts and the rears all smoked would be pretty pimpn

So what? IMO taking that engine out to put it in a fox is decreasing the value of the engine.
Those gen 1 lighting are well built trucks and definitely worth having around, i wouldn't scrap that truck for its motor.
