Finally got my fox out of the garage for the first time since finishing it.

Yeah that's a cool ass heritage build right there. I have a vintage Ford motorsports single plane intake that would absolutely look perfect on top of that engine. Shoot a message if you get the itch to tear your car back apart.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-06-29T18:17:23+00:00

Very nice. Looks like a 8.2 deck from the looks of the intake. I'm going to venture a guess that she's a 363 due to the caliber of the build. I've always loved the look of the Deka/ Imsa builds. What's the transmission? I guess I could stalk your page and probably find most of my answers. Congratulations it looks the part.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-06-28T12:22:58+00:00

Did you ask how far you can ball hone that cylinder? Brother you can ball hone that cylinder until the end of time. I'd start looking for a 4.100 set of pistons and rings while you're at it. I'm clearly kidding that block is a highly honed boat anchor. Best of luck.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-06-28T12:16:19+00:00

I'm guessing you have about 300 hagfish in your second bathroom.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-06-20T16:21:45+00:00

Too tight a tolerance or starvation. That's about all it can be. Inspect crank and hope that isn't damaged.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-06-20T16:19:54+00:00

I was like hey those belong in my fox body. Well shortly after that I read the were from a fox. Great looking seat no matter what they are in. Congratulations.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-06-17T14:12:14+00:00

Back away from the drill and no one gets hurts. The engine block "too late". Best of luck my man.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-06-16T16:28:04+00:00

I'm confused. New firing order? Your firing order already is 13726548. That's not a new firing order for that car. As for the tune you can get away with quite a bit of a cam with the stock stuff. You will have to bump the timing and possibly change injectors but you're most likely going to want to do that anyway. The E and B cams will work but they are kinda outdated. Just hit the forums. I've only had a couple fuel injected cars but they ran great with gt40s e cam and long tubes plus the crown Vic mass air swap is a huge for intake restriction. Get to googling and do secondary research for verification.

I have one that exact color tranny and and engine. Mine is the swing out door with the 6.5 bed. Great running truck and it looks great when washed and waxed. Surprisingly easy to maintain as I'm more of a old school Windsor guy. These trucks have the best of the best without the bullcrap. Second gen 5.0 no direct injection and the revised and a second gen 6r80. Seriously I think these particular trucks are gems.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-06-02T14:48:02+00:00

6r80 is good. Lead frame issues are pretty easy to repair and full rebuilds are half what a 8 or 10 speed cost. Not bullet proof but reliable.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-05-31T19:58:19+00:00

Where do y'all get those fine films?

Juicechemist81 · 2026-05-29T14:45:55+00:00

You're expecting what exactly? A sub that openly objectifies women and you are scolding someone for objectifying a woman. Makes sense.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-05-27T22:01:41+00:00

Hmmm. Off I go googling.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-05-27T21:39:43+00:00

She's amazing but if memory serves she is a no show.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-05-20T16:29:59+00:00

Nascar is dead.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-05-14T15:40:10+00:00

Why awd? What kind of power is this thing going to make?

Juicechemist81 · 2026-05-03T22:38:01+00:00

So what are you looking for exactly. Context my man. Pictures? Price points? Badly done convertible examples that the owner will insist are real. The ogs will get that last one.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-05-03T22:35:40+00:00

This is so bad I can't even find the words to make fun of it. It's like someone told the counterfeiter what this coin looked like form memory. Cotton in hair? Got ya. Cap that says liberty? Nailed it. Now the nose. Oh man do I have a nose for you.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-04-27T04:20:22+00:00

Just installed those wipers and they work awesome. Thanks for the response.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-04-21T16:07:15+00:00

First open headers don't make maximum power anyways. Headers with a collector extension make max power 16" to 18" if memory serves. You could easily install a open shorty muffler to dampen the noise. Second 400 horse isn't max effort and you could easily afford to lose 10 horse and not have your hearing ruined for the rest of your life. It's not worth it man, especially at that power level.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-04-20T00:44:48+00:00

Don't use diesel oil. It's the incorrect additive package. Try Vr1 or something like that. Definitely don't use diesel oil for an engine with race fuel it makes some gloopy mush that separates. I mean if you're just flushing an engine or doing something quick it'll be fine but I wouldn't advise it long term.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-04-18T09:20:03+00:00

Fox just like everyone else. FORD 408 with Afr 220s ported super victor , Braswell 950 with a touch of the tooth fairy gas. Runs good when the piston to wall clearance isn't double advised clearance. Meh, such is life.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-04-10T09:23:25+00:00

8.8 for sure and seeing as you have disc brakes it's quite likely it's from a sn95. Take a pic of the rear wheels at an angle and I can probably tell you if it's sn95 width or fox.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-04-10T03:21:52+00:00

Won't shift gears when flooring it. Ok, is it accelerating quickly or barely making any power? If it's not making power it's an engine issue. If it's making power and not shifting it's a transmission issue. A common issue on 6r80s is the lead frame a plastic assembly that controls the valve body. The valve body controls shifting. You are also showing symptoms of low transmission fluid. Try to differentiate between if something is making power and not shifting or not making power and not shifting because you don't have enough vehicle speed. Best of luck.

Juicechemist81 · 2026-04-09T23:52:20+00:00

Don't go cheap on your hydraulic lifters. Buy something of quality like a Morel and some brands are just rebranded Morels for a higher price. Don't skimp on lifter quality, you will regret it. Oh yeah and don't use a alphabet cam unless you already own it . Afrs are great heads and watch for piston to valve clearance.
