The WARHORSE

[Johnarmymp552]

I will try to share as much as I can-

The car has been 4 years in the making, and still not doen, due to being in the Army.

1990 LX Hatch, Saleen inspired. First Fox in Grabber Orange, painted April 08'. Eight coats of paint and 4 coats of clear.

4 inch cowl hood, Saleen front bumper epoxied and molded in, real GT500 Super Snake center stripe custom cut and used for center stripe.

6 point cage, rear seat delete, Corbeau GTSII seat with embroidered head rests

Engine plans have changed a few times. I had the first Dart 363 available, but sodl it for the new combo-
357W, all forged

Plans are to be blow through set up with Hellion T76 turbo kit.

Had the valce covers and intake tube airbrushed by Mike Lavalle at Killer Piant. He is pretty much the pioneer for True fire flames and does cars for Chip Foose.

Car came back not too long ago from the paint shop again to get the under side of the hood painted and Saleen spoiler painted and mounted.

PA Performance Super Comp C4 trans, rated to 1000hp.
I powdercoated the trans pan and servo housing today (My services are available).

I have more build pics I will share later. Car will be shipped to my house soon and I will complete the build and share with you guys.

Looks Fantastic............

Thanks Roush!

I will drive this baby on the street, but the goal is to break 210mph in the mile, if I can ever get there-

That is the current record for a Fox Body.

Hopefully the spoiler and my new carbon front splitter will help:idk:.
It is a serious race piece. It actually mounts under the engine to the frame.
I can't upload pics but it is from chicane23.com.

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate all the compliments.

Once the car gets here I will still have some work to do to it, but I am hoping to have it done by spring.

Sorry I posted an update in a while, I have been swamped at work. Criminals don't sleep.

The car should be shipped soon, had a small delay. Pistons had to be recut for 2.08 size valves with the new heads, thought they would clear, but I guess pistons were cut at 2.06. Once that is finished, should button her up and get her on the truck.
