Great video. Finished a conversion 4 to 8 cylinder 6 months ago. Found a coupe here in Illinois with 916 miles on it, a family had no idea of the Fox following. Has a stock 5.0 with a turbo installed kept it stock, interior only exception was a turbo gauge and trans cooler gauge didn’t disturb by hacking it up. First COVID 19 car show asked if we wanted to sell the car.....nope. Looking for a 4 cylinder hatch to do another swap. Look forward to your conversion update. Keep up the good work
Please do a 351W swap on a 79-80 fox someday there is almost no videos at all out there at all with pointer, tips and tricks on what to run into and what is recommended. It would be a great help
Your video jus gave me tha hell of a good motivation to go even harder on mines my boy im n the works of swapping out my 89 fox body 4 cylinder as well 🔥🔥💪🏾
I have done 5 of these.... currently doing a 89 4 to 8 full swap. Just finished a full Maximum Motorsport suspension. It will be a fun build for you...

Question. I know the 8.8 is different from the 7.5 but is the connection. Between the driveshaft on the 7.5 the same as the 8.8? So could I connect a 4 cylinder driveshaft to an 8.8?
Yah man !!!,she is going to love this !!!.I Myself just had a beautiful example fall into my lap...its white with crazy red leather int..straight & clean !!!...odo says 36k...might be 136k..dunno,want to do EXACTLY as you are doing.wht was the source for the motor & rear end ??? (I'm not a mechanic but I do work at an auto parts retailer)...
Hi I got a 90 lx 4 cylinder automatic body is excellent no rust no accident. Can you guys tell how much it could cost to swap it to 5.0 or any shop who will do it thanks.
That's a nice clean car..good story 2 go with the car 2...? Would the quarter glass from say that car with the mustang in the glass fit say my 1985 hatch.would I be able to remove the side vent looking things to make it look clean.
Yes, but you will have a pretty big space between the plastic on the interior and the window since the newer glass sits on the outside of the body and the older style is recessed into the body. You can swap in the newer plastic panels if you want to.
This Mustang was my childhood generation and I dream collecting one someday. I’m currently in my early 40s now.
Love the story behind this one. Can't wait for the surprise.
Saw this parked at Youngs Point a few summers ago....First thing I thought of ....Was, you guessed it.
5.0 swap! Great Channel!

Going to be a nice ride!
This is definitely going to break the bank
Great tips thank you.
nice to see you evolving the map pocket trick
Have helped on these. 4cyl to 8cyl, not bad. '79-'82, inline 6cyl to 8. More involved
Love all the content, man! Keep up the great work! The channel is really growing! Congrats!
Thanks I appreciate it.
Great project man and thanks for sharing the door pocket fix👍
You do great quality work my friend. Hope that rust bucket shell is gone of your property.😀
Lol she's crushed
Question. I know the 8.8 is different from the 7.5 but is the connection. Between the driveshaft on the 7.5 the same as the 8.8? So could I connect a 4 cylinder driveshaft to an 8.8?
You could if it's 5spd originally. The auto driveshafts won't interchange.
@@TheInfamousProject thanks for the info. Love the videos. Gonna be using them for reference when I get ready.

10k give or take what parts you buy/replace with labor. Where are you located?
This is a deadly series!👍🏻
My 92 vertical it's running hot can you give me in advice
How do I know if it is suspension on my Mustang six-cylinder Thanks nice video
I have a conversion for my fox that I would like to run past ya... let me know. Thanks.
Hey nice vid ,do you still have those 4cylinder mounting brackets plates?
I don't sorry
@@TheInfamousProject Thank you
Question are the steps relatively the same if I want to go from a 6 to an 8? If there is a difference please elaborate.
Is your 6 a 3.8? Auto? If so you can reuse the transmission
Nice project
Love the channel. Always giving helpful info. How long does it typically take to disconnect all the components and remove a 5.0? Thanks
For the average person I would say 3 hours.

Thanks! Yes you can install newer style glass in the older models!
Yes, but you will have a pretty big space between the plastic on the interior and the window since the newer glass sits on the outside of the body and the older style is recessed into the body. You can swap in the newer plastic panels if you want to.
Have you made a video on how to get rid of the sag
The Map Pocket Sag? Yessir
Oh I’ll check it out
Oh I’ll check it out
Did you change the ecu harness
Yessir specific to a 91
Honestly i prefer the 2.3 EFI engine for a good few reasons
And they are?
Sounds like cope from someone who doesn’t have a V8
Seems like this project is falling into place after a rough start with a less than ideal donor car.
How did the ponies swap to 10 holes so fast?
Lol. The owner wanted to polish them up while I'm doing the swap
It'd be a CRIME to paint that car...
Foxcast has been working on project 4to8. Should of picked a different name.
I'm in Canada tho so it doesn't matter
