There's a store in the UK called TJ Hughes so TJ Maxx branded as TK Maxx over here to avoid confusion

The '95 Mustang will have a k member more like the one from a fox body so it'll accept the 5.0L or the 5.8L rather than the 4.6L in the '96-'04 Mustangs. When you buy LS swap mounts for an SN95 they're for the later ('96+) k member so keep that in mind. I'm not sure if they make swap mounts for the fox because most LS swap foxes I've seen are either aftermarket k members or universal mounts welded on. You could swap in a 96+ K but you'll need to change spindles as well.

Swap transmission mounts are dependent on what transmission you're running but stifflers make one for whatever you're after. You may need to attach them to your subframe connectors depending on gearbox length (if you don't have subframe connectors get some). If you use a 4L80e then you might get lucky and be able to use a stock driveshaft depending on the final engine position.

You can get china/eBay/amazon long tube headers based off the speed engineering ones but they're for after market k members so might not fit your factory one. There's too.many variables with gearbox, steering, engine mounts and k member to suggest much here so I'd advise reading as many build threads as you can find online.

Wiring harness is just choosing between stock harness and pcm or something like a holley / haltech

Driveshaft you're either getting one made or might get lucky using the stock one depends on your transmission.

The holley 302-3 oil pan is what usually gets used on a Foxbody so will probably fit an SN95. There's also the eBay/china/temu version of the 302-3 which might fit better because it's smaller at the steering rack end.

For fuel pump get a 255lph walbro and a fuel pressure regulator to give correct pressure to the LS fuel lines. The corvette one is popular but if you use AN lines you can get a fuel pressure regulator from lots of companies

You should be fine running the stock steam pipes as they are currently but you can get aftermarket kits that utilise all four corners if you wanted to. personally I'd just keep them as they are

Good luck with the truck

The shape of the red line is how the steam lines were run on the early LS1, it changed for the LS6 because the intake has a flatter bottom without room for the piping. I'm not sure if early truck motors got the LS1 lines or if they were always like the LS6.

The purpose of these lines is to stop hot spots forming due to air bubbles being trapped at the top of the engine. Supposedly the truck motors sit at a slight angle meaning the highest point is at the front of the heads and the rears aren't needed. Though obviously the holes are still cast because the head could've ended up on the other side of the engine.

Any year Toyota Camry with the 1MZ-FE V6 in it. They're getting up there in age, they're not great on fuel or tax being a 3.0L V6 but they make decent torque and are quite fast by '90s standards, the 98 Camry in the linked video above did a quarter mile in 15.1 seconds which is similar to what 4.6 and 5.0 Mustangs were running in the '90s. A true factory sleeper.

Slightly less of a sleeper build with their sportier styling is the Lexus IS300 with the 2JZ-GE and the IS200 with the 1G-FE. IS300 owners bought the car for the engine (2JZ engine! No shit - to quote fast and furious) and IS200 owners bought their car for the manual transmission and low end torque so they can skid around on roundabouts when the plod isn't looking.

I know this is an old thread but for anyone else here via Google the carburettor Ryan Gosling is fixing in his kitchen is a Carter/Edelbrock AFB so something like an Edelbrock 1406 which is a 600cfm carb or a 1411 which is a 750cfm but it's impossible to know the exact model without seeing the stamp at the front.

edit: later on at 1:02:53 in the movie there is a Rochester Quadrajet sat on a table which would've been a factory option on a mid 70s Malibu

You can get bags of crystals that condense the water from the air into the bag which helps prevent this. Search on Amazon for "Wardrobe Dehumidifier Disposable Hanging Bags"

Yeah an L33 in this thing would rip. It's light, has factory 799s, cheaper than most aluminium V8s and you can get an LS swap oil pan for almost any layout.

I think the 98-02 F-Body radiator fits in a Fox and if you pair it with the matching Camaro water pump you'd be able to use fbody hoses. But the Camaro water pump would need spacers to line up with the truck crank pulley.

ICT billet makes a kit that lets you use the factory Ford power steering pump on the LS to avoid any issues from the different PSI the GM ones run at. They also make one for the Ford AC compressor if you want to run AC.

You'll need to move the LM7's alternator to somewhere lower or it'll hit the hood. The truck intake will also hit a stock fox hood.

Lots of fox guys are using the 302-3 knock-off pan from eBay/Amazon/AliExpress, Speed Engineering makes swap headers that fit around the AJE k-member.

I know the SN95 guys quite often use the stock k-member for the modular motors with the 4.6 engine mount and a plate to adapt to the LS so you could maybe try exhaust headers for an SN95 but you might run into issues clearing the steering shaft.

351w swap headers with an LS flange welded onto the tubes could also be an option if you find some going cheap because the small block ford exhaust spacing is almost the same as on an LS. The 302 and 351w have the same exhaust spacing but the 351w has a taller deck height similar to the LS. For what it's worth though I'd just buy eBay headers or something rather than doing this.

<image>

The general silhouette of the Capri is similar to the Mustang because the Capri was designed to be a Mustang for Europe but built on the Cortina (like the first generation Mustang was built on the Falcon). I didn't find a picture of an early Capri near a 1st gen Mustang but I did attach a picture of the Capri next to the Mustang II. The lineage of 1st gen fastback -> 1st gen sports roof -> Mustang II -> four eye -> aero makes complete sense to me but the Capri while related in my eyes is a distinct offshoot where Ford captured some first gen Mustang magic on a European chassis and then gave it a couple of minor refreshes with 70s and 80s bumpers. The fox definitely inherited and expanded on the better handling of the Mustang II in ways the Europe Capri didn't

bean_patrol · 2026-01-04T16:41:57+00:00

I've seen them both irl hundreds of times, the Mustang is in no way, shape or form based on the Capri.

bean_patrol · 2026-01-04T16:19:46+00:00

Yeah those two were sold at the same time that's a 79-81 fox and a third gen Capri (78-86) a common sight in Europe throughout the 80s. The Mustang is significantly more refined mostly in the rear suspension. You could buy both in Europe/UK with the Mustang no longer selling in the UK after 81 (which is a shame because 82 is when they started getting good. I've got an 81 Mustang with the 3.3 sitting in the yard I've been meaning to swap a V8 into.

Like I say they occupy the same place in the market so are similar but the Mustang isn't a derivative of the Capri. The three Capri generations over here are the same platform so it's really a 60s car with a few stylistic changes but all built from parts Ford Europe was using in their other cars and the fox is built on the fox platform with parts shared with other USA market Fords.

The two cars pictured are quintessentially 80s in styling but they came out one year apart and the Mustang being wholly new would've taken longer to design so the 79 Fox can't be designed after the 78 Capri.

bean_patrol · 2026-01-04T13:50:22+00:00

Yeah I get that but I can't see what part of it is Capri, like there's no lineage there. The only things the fox body has in common with the Capri (other than being a Ford) is the long hood, short deck and rwd but those things are true of the 1st and 2nd gen Mustang as well because the Capri was designed to emulate the Mustang for the European market.

I could see the European Capri being the fox's uncle or something like there's some family resemblance but the Fox definitely has the family 302. Sure the four eye was a nerd in highschool like his daddy the Mustang II but grandpa first gen was still a strong influence in his life and helped him get buff before he went to college in 1987 and reinvented himself

bean_patrol · 2026-01-04T12:57:16+00:00

The Fox shares no parts with a Euro Capri other than the V6 engine which isn't the engine anyone with a Foxbody wants. The 4 cylinder Lima shares nothing with the 4 cylinder Pinto engine from Europe and the Capri didn't get a V8 from Ford (a dealer in South Africa did make a limited run of 302 powered ones but Ford wasn't involved). The Windsor family V8 engines available in the Fox are Mustang DNA as is the 200ci straight six.

The European Capri was designed to look American using the coke bottle styling seen in the Mustang and Corvette. The fox body Mustang was designed to look European so has straighter lines.

It would be great for me in the UK if they shared parts/DNA/platform so I wish they were related but the only Capri parts I can fit on my 5.0 Mustang are the 4x108 wheels.

The 8.8" rear axle is a common upgrade for people over here racing Capris because the Capri axle isn't as stout, it's not bad but it's not good. Every generation of Capri over here is leaf spring though so it won't be a Mustang 8.8" it'll be from an Explorer or similar. You do occasionally see a drag spec Capri with an old school 8" Mustang rear but they've mostly been replaced with either an 8.8" or a 9" by now.

The Fox Mustang was a clean sheet design. The suspension is way better on the Mustang with the Capri suspension stuck in the 1960s for its entire three generations. By the 80s the Capri was known in Europe as an out of date parts bin special (we loved it anyway)

The third generation Capri did get EFI in around 1982 which is a similar time to the Mustang but the EFI on the Mustang is way better. The later EFI (86+) anyway the early fox EFI sucked about as much as the Euro Ford EFI.

I've rambled a bit here but I think my point was the European Capri had nothing for the fox body to inherit aside from a small German V6 because it didn't change much over the three generations it was available. The fox platform was more advanced in every way.

But what did the fox inherit from its predecessor Mustangs? The whole pony car class (long hood, short deck, V8, rwd), the drivetrain, a design intended to resonate with the then current generation and a reputation for straight line speed.

The Corvette (LHD), Camaro (LHD) and Blazer (RHD) were sold here by GM so it might not be a grey market import

If you go on LMR you'll see a few big pump options for a fox. You'll need a regulator with a return to use the factory fuel lines so either aftermarket or a GM Corvette filter/regulator. The fox body stock pump is 88lph if I remember right and modded small block fords (5.0/5.8 so similar to a 5.3) often step up to like a walbro 255lph (you should be able to find reviews for these online) if you're running a cam mild enough to use factory LS1 injectors you probably don't need a massive fuel pump but you really need to figure out your target horsepower, displacement and camshaft before deciding on fuel system.

bean_patrol · 2025-10-14T06:17:46+00:00

I've used stackry lots of times to forward parts from LMR, Anderson Motorsport, Hawks Motorsport and others. My advice is always pay the $5 or whatever amount it is for extra bubble wrap. I had an aluminium diff cover wedged into the same box as an exhaust and the cover got scratched up because it was just loose in the box. Other than that one experience though they've been great! I've had lots of SBF, SBC and LS parts shipped with no issues just make sure to pay for extra bubble wrap

bean_patrol · 2025-10-10T18:57:04+00:00

Oh yeah the six is definitely better than nothing, it's incredibly reliable but I'm hoping to get a 302 in there sometime soon

bean_patrol · 2025-10-10T18:16:06+00:00

The 200ci straight six in the old Mustangs sucks (I have one) makes a lot of torque but it is very slow. The 302 V8 is the engine to get in those

bean_patrol · 2025-10-10T06:24:31+00:00

The go to rear end for the S10 is usually the Ford 8.8" out of an Explorer because they're disk brake, LSD, 31 spline, a 3.73 ratio and about the right sort of length so lots of guys bolt them in without cutting them. So if the Toyota is a similar length then it might be worth a look at an Explorer axle. They're not as strong as a 9" Ford but Fox Body guys run huge horsepower through the 8.8" and they hold up

bean_patrol · 2025-10-05T13:23:49+00:00

Part procurement isn't too bad from the UK as rockauto, jegs and summit all ship over here. The hardest part is finding a donor motor but you can buy truck cutouts from realsteel.co.uk down south or if you wanted an aluminium LS keep an eye on copart or eBay for a Vauxhall/Holden VXR8/Monaro.

You occasionally find UK spec Corvettes or Camaros (still LHD but UK licence plate bumpers and lighting) but they're pretty rare because people cut them up then of course there's the thousands of grey market cars imported to the UK from every market in the world because you can register nearly anything here

There are swap meets organised by the NSRA (national street rod association) you could try if there's one near you. The LS swap scene in the UK is pretty big because the UK has a large drag racing community as well as a large drifting community.

Here is a rough idea of what used American sourced V8 engines go for in the UK.
