I think the craziest thing about the LS swapped Fox project is just how cheap and simple it seems to be if you have any mechanical experience at all. Really considering getting an LX roller and looking for a good donor LS to put in, and very consise information like this is making it even more appealing. Thanks for the video and well-presented info!

I own a 93 LX. I'm scared that if I did it, my car would drop in value

@yahawahchosenone6712 it depends on the car, mine was an ugly 4 cyl so no regrets. A nice factory car problably isn't the candidate for one of these swaps. Performance cars in general are not good if you're concerned about maintaining any value.

Great video man. I will be swapping an 83 GT in the spring. I did a 6.0L in an 84 Tbird and it was a blast.

Thank you for this! Great video 😁🤘💪

I am picking up a ls swapped foxbody this weekend! the first this i want to do is AC! i’m a newbie to the ls and muscle world! been tinkering with jdm for 15 years!

Love the car for sure do a video of the ac wiring

Just picked up a 93 fox with the 4cyl but I bought it because the body is super clean and interior is all there. It’s got no guts as is haha so I’m gonna swap it. Just seeing what would be best, ls or 351. I just want it as a cruiser but I’d like it to be able to get up and move too

Came back to watch this video for my swap, sorting everything out, in the past 3 months I’ve went ahead and sourced a 5.3 lm7, and I’m starting to hoard parts for the swap. I’ve been doing a ton of research and I hope to actually start the swap within the next few months once I cam the engine and set the k member into the fox. I also picked up an 8.8 rear end and am patiently waiting to be able to afford a t56

I’m in the process of swapping my foxbody ATM and I’m confused on how the interior body harness still works with standalone system. Have any insights on that

@WestcoastWrenchin

7 ай бұрын

The body harness is connected to the fuse box which is connected the the battery. The holley system is connected to the battery and only interacts to the body harness with essentially an ignition power wire. Thus they are two completely separate systems, it's why it's called a standalone. It stands alone from the rest of the car

Nice build! Just need headers and mines will be done as well. Do you have a part number for headers?

You can get a GPS speedometer analog module from Jegs. That's what I'm using, works perfectly. RPM tach can work but only if you use the V8 tack. Just connect the tack signal wire from the terminator to the foxbody tach input harness. It's the round plug by the brake booster
