@HotShotVQ35 Probably more like in your 50s(LOL). I'm almost 54 and the SVO Mustang came out shortly after I graduated high school(1983). There were carbureted turbo 2.3 Mustangs & Capris before the SVO, remember the '79 Mustang pacecar? It came in either 2.3 turbo or 5.0 V8. The cars in this video are amazingly clean and the craftsmanship is extremely high quality. These guys are very talented!

These are truly epic builds on your channel! You have ruined me from ever wanting a fox mustang until I can fund a build like these.

I myself really wanted to build a 1984 Pontiac Fiero with a Duramax diesel single turbo in it, but when I realized how much fabrication it would need I realized it wouldn't really be a Fiero with a crazy engine. So I've switched gears to do a twin turbo 3.6 liter V6 LF3 motor and I do believe it will still be really awesome and definitely a "One of a kind" build.. Everybody does the LS swap in them but I wanted to truly stand out like you guys do at Foxcast Media!.. Now a Foxbody LX hatch is my true dream to build/own, but since this Pontiac build I can do now or bring to life I'll have to just watch your great videos and keep dreaming about it and just hope above all that one day I will own a Foxbody 🤞.. Stay great @Foxcast Media and thank you so damn much for sharing your journeys with us all!. 🙏🙏❤️🍻

What a super clean top notch build. If they had started out with an SVO, the Ecoboost swap would have made so much more sense.

This guy really puts a lot of detail in his builds, amazing.

Love the channel and Mo and Jeffrey are awesome.Everything these guys touch is going to be legendary and I rock with Mo's speedshop here in Cali.

I'd kill for this. My 79 coupe is a factory 2.3 carbed turbo. It would be awesome for it to be a 2.3 turbo once again.

Where can we get complete details of the build on this car?

What a beautiful car! Love the 2.3 EcoBoost powerplant!

Oh damn the ashtray door and the map light both worked, wow! Mindblowing, love that color on the EcoBoost foxbody.

Great concept! I'm a fan of the older SVOs, and this takes it a step further.

I'm hoping to do the same on my 89 vert (currently original 2.3L). Would starting with a crate ecoboost engine make the swap much easier?

Such amazing attention to detail in the engine bay!

With a simple tune and exhaust, you're pretty much at the power of the V8. 4cyl or not, that's pretty impressive.
