Fox Body Mustang - The Science Explained

  • The Fox Body Mustang set the template for all future Ford Mustangs. Today, Ford's V8 powered flagship pony car uses the same balance of fuel efficiency and power that the Foxbody set over 30 years ago. It was the muscle car that finally pulled Ford out of the hangover following the 70's oil crisis. All it took was space age computer technology, wind tunnels, and sticking a cat in the exhaust. With all of these things the Foxy body is Ford’s greatest underdog... underfox? UNDERFOX!

    Used to work at a car wash with an express detailing service, and one day we had this lady roll in with a 1993 Mustang Cobra (painted teal metallic). Since the customers had to wait inside while we detailed the cars, and we had a fairly long line that day, I got to drive it up and around to the detailing lane (since I was the only one who knew how to drive a manual). Honestly such a beautiful car and felt really great to drive, even if it was only for a few short moments. Asked her about it afterwards and she said she had owned it since new, but was about to sell it later that week. If it wasn't for the fact I was still in high school I'd have offered to buy it right there lol

    My dad bought a 1985 Mustang GT because he was worried he couldn't tune the fuel injection... and to be fair for a long time he was right in the early days individuals really struggled with EFI cars. I actually think that it's mostly due to the import scene that computers and cars became a more common place thing and breathed new life into the old muscle cars.

    @robertprice9052 Месяц назад

    I’m an engineer as well. My first car was a 65’ Mustang. I eventually had an 85’ GT, my son now has an 87’ GT. Simply explanation of what the cat does is it gets heated by exhaust gasses and the heat causes excess fuel gasses and oxygen to burn off before it leaves the tail pipe. NO cat increases power, ALL cats rob power. If you want a power increase removing them or hollowing them will work to varying levels. Performance cats ARE restrictive. If your state doesn’t inspect cars; add headers, ditch the cats, 1/2inch bigger tubes and low restriction mufflers will give your car back the power restrictively systems rob.

    @ryanlarue31 3 года назад

    Hey Donut, big fan here and an engineer myself. After watching half this video, I feel like I need to tell you guys you need to fact check your info you are sharing. First off, general motors designed and implemented sequential fuel injection first in the early 90s. Ford did not have the technology to do a sequential fuel injection until 1996. The EECV4 was not capable of handling eight independent injectors and timing eight independent cylinders for the correct amount of fuel as you guys stated in your video. The fuel injected 5.0L is a bank fire fuel injection system, meaning the left bank will fire all four injectors, then the right bank will fire all four injectors. For sequential fuel injection to work, you need high resolution tone rings on the cam and crank. You need to have references for each cylinder in order to meter fuel correctly to those cylinders. The 5.0L uses a 1 tooth ring for the camshaft (distributor) and no crankshaft sensor.

After a few minutes of listening to her kick butt, the smart asses we were, we started diagramming how to build a bomb on the blk board behind her. Wouldn't you know it, they started taking notes.
