Description
By: George Reid .
The 5.0L Fox-body Mustang has been called the 1955-57 Chevy of the next generation — it's light, powerful, stylish, and now more affordable than ever. Salvage yards are filled with Fox-swappable parts, and aftermarket support for the Fox and the 5.0L is booming. There has never been a bet-ter time to own and build a high-performance 5.0L Fox-body Mustang.
Building High-Performance Fox-Body Mustangs on a Budget starts with a quick timeline for the Fox-body (from 1979-95), followed by a chapter focusing on planning your project and getting your priorities straight. After a chapter on high-performance engine theory, author George Reid jumps right in, using a photo-intensive (over 530 total!) approach to show you how to modify your engine,
transmission, rear end, brakes, and suspension, without blowing your budget. There are even special sections for choosing wheels and tires, and making body modifications.
What makes this book unique is the budget-minded approach. Besides the section on planning your project, each chapter also details a variety of modifications for a variety of bud-gets — from installing a simple cold-air intake to a completely tunable road-race suspension. George Reid is also author of the best-selling CarTech titles How To Build Big-Inch Ford Small Blocks, High-Performance Ford Parts Interchange, and How To Build Max-Performance Ford V-8s on a Budget.
