FE Technical Forum / Re: Need Advice on Fox Body FE Project
« on: February 18, 2023, 10:28:54 PM »"I'm looking for an inexpensive car. "it is hard to find a cheap fox,unless someone is desperate,or someone who just wants you to have it-doing you a favor,is probably the only way you will get a good body at a good price.
LOLOLOLOLOL.... Every Fox around here is 10~12K+ if it's not tore up. Unless it's set up for small tire/no prep then that one is 90K. It's damn stupid. It'd be likely cheaper here to buy a 2017~18 with a 5.0 and just work on the Coyote. If one didn't know better and only had Hemmings listings as a reference, you'd think Ford made nothing but convertibles.

FE Technical Forum / Re: stock oil pan removal 66-67 fairlane,comet
« on: January 16, 2023, 12:57:07 PM »
thanks for the replies.Doug,i dont want to pull the engine.hooker headers all the little stuff like alt, rad,etc is alot more hassle to me.i have an electric fan.i guess i will try dropping the pan with the engine up an inch or two.i have jacked up the engine before to get the headers in.i dont think the headers will hit,bell will only go up so far.

if i drop the pump will my shaft drop or will it stay in place?maybe i could just unhook the pickup? i have never fooled with a oil pump.im not a short block man even though i have changed heads,intakes,headers,etc. many times over the last 40 years.but i have never put my short blocks together.i always had the machine shop assemble them.
