363 Turbo Foxbody Review - The War Admiral
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I review Tom's 1990 Notchback Mustang, also known as the War Admiral, named after a Triple Crown winning racehorse.
This was originally a wild strawberry car, but has since been painted magnetic gray metallic.
Motor is a 363 Dart SHP block with AFR 195cc renegade heads and a 76mm On3 Turbo. 4 tunes are available thanks to a Holley Terminator X ECU. Horsepower ranges from 650whp to 950+whp depending on fuel and tune. Transmission is a Tremec TKX, rear end is an 8.8 with 3.55 gears.

Amazing. Amazing car. It's damn near perfection. Amazing owner too. Knows every little thing about his car and the names of everyone that helped make it what it is today. This guy cherishes this car.

Beautiful car!!!
I’ve never seen this car, my God. What a beautiful build! Well done sir!
Awesome build and back story to go with it which makes it even more special. I lost my Dad to stage 4 and you're right, you will forever never stop missing him. Love how your Dad's best friend came through for you.
Beautiful car! I’m sorry about your dad, I lost my dad to esophageal cancer in 17’. I’m on my 3rd Mustang. I had a 94’ Cobra built motor/pro charger, Terminator, and now 12’ GT500.
Such a great video. I remember seeing this car for the first time on GearHead704's channel. Tom even commented me back with much appreciation when I complimented War Admiral and the story. Such a nice guy and an awesome car. I'm glad he's getting the love he and the car deserve. The back story is wonderful. I'm glad War Admiral Tom and his daughter enjoy this car together.

This guy did it right and he’s right on so many levels as far as old tech and new tech blending for all the right reasons. I’m a family man and have kids so he’s right as far as hitting a button to tone it down for a family cruise vs hit the go-fast button to eat some rice
I had this idea of a Foxbody in my head and was thinking of build options...didn't do a search and this video pops up..algorithum is in my head lol..unbelieveably perfect build...
Hands down one of my favorite coupes out there
This is probably my favorite notchback, EVER.
I am old school FOX man myself. I actually had the opportunity to be the main Ford technician during 1988,89,90,91 Era ... I was the only technician to PDI when they arrived at the dealership. I know FOX body very very very well. I love this car and what he has done. Five star on his unique design. Great Job!!!
I like Tom a lot great guy great personality. And never down plays anyone else's cars true role model for the hobby

This is probably my favorite foxbody that ive ever seen just beautiful love the Holly Pro Dash too
Man, I would love to drink a beer and just talk with Tom. What a chill dude. Very cool.
This guys story is a great testament to the effect that our cars have on us. Very interesting story. Nice guy. Great car.
This is the same mentality I have when building my car. Modern meets classic. I love everything about this car. It's so well thought out. Everything single part has been thought about.
The legend says that to this day, Tom never stopped flinging his car keys from hand to hand, even when the keys are in the ignition. 😂😂😂
This might be the nicest Fox body I've ever seen, dear gawd, what a beautiful car! I owned and loved an 89 Black notch 5.0-5speed car, for about 11 years. I hope to one day find another 89 notch to restore and love all over again. The 87-93 Fox bodies will always have a special place in my memory, they were my 57 Chevy growing up.

The Notchback... a design we'll never ever see again. Great build, sir!
Wow, sad but really great story, I felt his pain because I’ve lost a few very close family members and friends, and that’s a feeling that’ll never go away but we learn to live with. Anyways, bad ass foxbody, love the set up, the whole car is well executed, so many cool details from the exhaust set up, to the engine set up, to the interior, down to the wheel, tire, suspension, and brake set up. This car is nuts and super clean!!! I’m sorry for your loss Tom, hope you stay strong minded and things go well for you, and thank you for showing us your bad ass foxbody !!! You did a bad ass job, I’m sure your dads jaw would have dropped looking at this car.

Congratulations on your Mustang!! Beautiful story , stay strong my brother. This is what makes the Mustang community such a great group of people.
This is definitely the cleanest car ive seen in my life. Great job with all if your choices. This car reminds me of my mustang that i crashed into a pole and almost died and an in a wheelchair from. If i could still drive this car i would have one exactly like this! Thank you for sharing
Wow that is a gorgeous car. Big power and money spent in the right places. The perfect street car, with a dark side.

Thats the best part about car modifications is the learning curve. Beautiful Mustang my friend. 👍
What an absolute GEM!! I love it👍👍 Thanks for keeping the past alive but giving it a futuristic spin! I love it!!!
I understand his struggle. I was close to my grandparents(raised me). They died before I felt like I became a man... they didn't get to see my house and my kids etc. so I understand they were my rock. Touching story but yeah I get it 100%. Bad ass car either way he's done amazing job.
The upgrades and changes are so subtle it’s killing me!! Perfect car!!!
I've always loved the notch back Mustangs and this car is perfection. Hopefully one day i'll own one.
That is an awesome build. Didn’t expect him to let someone drive such a special build. 👍🏻

I wasn’t going to drive it, but Tom twisted my arm haha!
I see a PA tag on that beauty! Fellow Foxbody owner from NE PA here! The War Admiral is an absolute beast. Best of luck and sorry about your father sir…
Jesus Christ! God bless you Tom. This is a dream built for me, the car looks diabolical and so clean, it's a scary sleeper ready to slay down JDM Turbo cars on the highway. The custom interior job is jaw dropping, I've almost screamed like an angry 6yo girls when the door opened. To sum it up, you just put the interior of a Modern Italian Supercar, combined with a crazy demonic top end turbo 6.0L V8, and stashed it over a bullet proof racing grade suspension setup. As well as the incredible paint job and the wheels/brake setup. Well I guess it's a simple built for anyone that has a 100K $ to blow, but you've really manage to build your dream car, and at the same time, you've honored your father in a very inspiring way. That exhaust setup is litterally Porno for car guys! Thanks Tom! WOW!!!
Super nice build with a great owner. He's chill and a great advocate to the car community. Especially to encourage fellow car guys to drive it. When you have so much invested, that speaks volumes of his character for sure. Great vid!
Beautiful, work of art! I'm at a loss for words for how amazing this car is.
Somebody was praying for you brother. Awesome testimony
great upload and story and props to this guy for overcoming and battling and building and sharing such a wicked mustang.
Looks amazing! Sounds great too! Very impressive! What a great interview with a sad kind of twist! Keep up the good work Brother!
Beautiful machine. Good sport letting him drive car that's cool . Guy seem like really nice guy kudos .
Another great video Tom. You said said you had 2 more coming and here we are …. 1 of 2 Great work Brother Tom !! Thanks for sharing again.
Outstanding video, OUTSTANDING Foxbody Mustang!
Awesome car! The details on the body work, interior, everything is beautiful! Love the mix of new technology in there too. I'm taking some notes for my future build!
normally i dont care for people that dont build their own car but this guy seems pretty cool and he does seem to know everything about it. hes not one of those guys that knows nothing and doesn't care to know. flawless mustang though too wow
i have 900 rwhp cobra with on3 kit running great for 2 years now just upgraded the wastgates and you got yourself i sweet deal
Tom looks like a super nice guy. Glad he was able to get his car and turn around a dark point in his life. God bless.
Damn man now that's what a fox body should be. You built what I've had in my head forever and was thinking about doing mine just like it. Hell yeah bro that's a badass fox! 💯👍
Great car Tom ! The perfect combo !
One of the best of both world Mustang I ever seen. Great Job 👏🏾
I don't know what you're filming with but being hearing impaired i really appreciate video & sound quality, actually being able to turn it down a little bit is so nice. I love the interior on this car, that screen fits perfectly, it super clean overall.
All the work the owner has done is top notch as well as straight class.. Great job bro!!
Great interview and car review! Truly inspirational.

Those Fox bodies brought back muscle cars. They were legit 13 second 1/4 mile cars in the 80's after the 70's smog mobiles. I thought they were ugly at the time but the body style has grown on me over the years.
Love the story and love the car, killer job man!!
OMG!! What a beautiful mustang, Great build
The build is super sick. Love the tech in it.
Really nice ride! Digging the Holley Dash with the boost adjustment and two step!
It doesn’t get any better than this. Love that it is quiet, also.
The car is a beauty, the build is impressive, and you did it your own unique way. The effort and time you put into it gives honor and respect to your father, and also to his best friend Bob. Also, your story shows that the hardest of circumstances can be overcome with dedication to a worthwhile goal, and is an inspiration to countless other people. And it's lots of fun to go fast in a Foxbody!
Love how passionate he is about his build, great story too
What an amazing car. I never get tired of this Fox. Pretty cool owner as well 😎

Awesome blend of modern and original. Great build man.
Awesome vid brotha. One of my boys who is no longer with us had a fox body in the same color so this brings back some cool ass memories 😎
Love the ride and to see a proud owner who loves his car.
The sickest Notch on the planet! Respect!! 🖤🤘

My all time favorite Foxbody!
That is one beautiful car and very nicely done. I can't wait to start putting more videos of mine up on here. Bought a replica car to one that I had nearly 20 years ago, I just finally started tinkering on it a little bit last night and I couldn't be more excited
Tom is the man and I love this Mustang and the design how it is functional but also a beast. It could actually be a sleeper. Some car pulls up on you like a CTS and thinks it's just a foxbody with pipes and then he says seeya lata aligator! Great video thanks for sharing.
Car is absolutely gorgeous, dude is awesome with his attitude and attention to detail. Solid combo.
Dope car. The wheels are so sick. The interior looks amazing. My condolences.
My 90 foxbody gt had a healthy centerforce clutch and I absolutely loved it not quite as mint as this mustang. Very nice ride man 👌❤️💯
Love the color: the 'Gray Ghost'.....seems like a good driver, in addition to the blazing performance.
Bad ass mustang. I could talk to that guy for hours about mustangs
The whole car is amazing but that gauge cluster is on a whole different league.
Great video man, what a beautiful notch.
Love the story behind the car! Love the car!
one of the nicest foxbody setups ive ever seen
Just wow! I'm speechless.
Beautiful build man, congrats!
Love your Foxbody. Great job on it.
Thank you for sharing your story in brief.
