- In this video I review a One Owner 1993 Fox Body Mustang LX. This car has a Vortech Supercharged 351W motor and Tremec TKX Transmission and we talk about the history of the car and the owner. We also discuss Meth Injection as well as some old school tuning with the Anderson PMS.

I had a 1 owner ‘93 5.0 5-speed, LX I bought in October of 1993. It was Silver with grey cloth with tinted windows and I on;y got to keep it a year before I was getting divorced and had to get rid of it. I still miss that car! Beautiful ‘93!
Found a Gem today and this owner is one of the luckiest human beings alive to have his original car driving off the lot ! Quick story I had an 89 fox body electric blue first car I’ve ever bought lost it a while ago but had the chance to buy an 03 terminator in 2018 with 18k miles still have the car but damn do I miss my little fox 🦊!!! Keep up with the videos brother makes me go back to a time when life was just a little more simple!!!
Thank you for watching and for the kind words. I love doing these videos and taking everyone back to the 80's-90's when life was simpler. Hang on to that Termi! That's a hot car!
Really appreciate Joe's passion for the 5.0 mustang 5.8. Also the original owner of a 1990 5.0 GT, these cars are so much fun, we are the original 5.ooh guy's . Fun to watch a whole new generation find them for the first time. Thanks for the video
Thank you very much for watching and commenting. I appreciate all of you original owners out there! I've always loved these cars and it is very cool seeing the new generation showing so much interested in them.
Thank You Joe---for showing us that Black Stallion. That's One Bad MoFo. In 2017 I bought a motorless 84 GT T-Top. Plan on using my 351W, that's been following me around the last 30yrs. Found a T-5. Need a correct 8.8 now. *Have $$$--Will Travel.* Close to a title, of an old TV Western lol
havea 9in built and narrowed u wont ever have to worry bt a rearend again
@@ThaSilentOne420 I have a 9" had it since the 351W. It's not worth the effort & $$$ to narrow & disc brake it & add Plumbed new control arm brackets. Maybe for a big block. The 8.8 will bolt right in & handle the windsor Just Fine.
@@lloydgreen4091 in HTX I got an 8.8 from a 97 Lincoln Town Car if interested..
@@P71ScrewHead Thank you for the Offer. I'm afraid it might be Too wide & not a bolt-in, Control arm brackets & all. I'm in Central Michigan & if you're in Houston I'll need Free Shipping. LOL
I know I’m late to the party, man I regret selling my 84 gt t-top. Had so much for with that car .
❤😂😢😮😊😊 shout out to Mike. He’s a one bad dude with tuning mustangs really good. I heard of him. Have a good week.
Black, 93, stick, that's the dream. But bro put some brakes on that thing 🤣
Yeah I know lol
One of my best memories is being about 20 years old and going to Byron to see an NMRA race...watching Foxbodies go wheels up for hours was amazing. Still have pictures of the late Jim Summers in ASSC's Big Red II
Pretty cool how these cars bring back so many great memories! Thank you for watching and commenting!
ALSO WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST GETTING AWAY FROM THE PIGGY BACK TO A HOLLE, AEM ETC..TONS OF CHOICES OUT THERE AND AS U KNOW THE MORE FINE TUNING YOUR ABLE TO DO WITH THESE SYSTEMS THE LONGER THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE ( WITH A EXPERIENCED TUNER) AND MORE YOU CAN EEK OUT OF YOUR SETUP. THAT ASIDE, IF YOUR HAPPY WITH IT THEN KEEP ON TRUCKING. LOVE YOUR DEDICATION AS A CAR GUY. NOT EVEN REALLY A "MUSTANG GUY" BUT IVE ALWAYS LOVED THEM.MY UNCLE HAD ONE GROWING UP BUT I WAS ALSO EXPOSED TO ALOT OF GM SMALL AMD BIG BLOCK PERFORMANCE AS A KID , ALSO GOT HOOKED ON IMPORTS WHEN A NEIGHBOR HAD AN NSX AMD A SUPRA BACK THEN...I LOVE ALL THESE CARS AND MUSTANGS WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART.
Thank you and Yep a Holley is prolly in my future
His comment about the t5 transmission is funny. My first car was a 90 mustang GT. I got to where I could take that transmission out in 15 minutes by myself
Beautiful foxbody 5.0! Very nicely done and so cool to hear the owner talk about all the modifications.
Love it. Remember Mike Post name from back in day. I’ve had a 3 black fox LX’s and one was a ‘93 hatch. Current baby took 10+ yrs to make it how I wanted it but it’s the black on black ‘93 cobra I always wanted with an Incon Systems TT 347. Totally agree about the paint - resprayed mine in my garage in 2020 as an outlet during all the viral madness. Lots of memories with these cars - they are special.
Man I really wanna build me a 94 or 95 ext cab F150 coyote swap now wit a T56 seeing dis gorgeous Fox
Byron dragway The playground of Power!! Clean 93
Great video and I love the history Joe has with the Foxbodies. I bought my first one in 1983 and have had one ever since. The only thing I would change is the mufflers to a Flowmaster. I love the classic sound.
Can't beat the iconic sound of a 5.0L paired with some 2 chamber Flowmasters! Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
Very nice interview. Brother Tom did an awesome job and of course a super nice car.
AV Boys had naturally aspirated 331 with 591 RWH no one could beat it in a street race.
I had an '89 GT SVT notchback. I wish I had never sold it.
I love it! Watching this in June, 2021 and I was born in June, 1993. I also own a 1993 fox body (but, needless to say, I'm not the original owner). Cool to find a car bought in the exact month I was born! And a badass one at that.
That’s awesome man
Born in June 93 as well and have a 93 fox!
Love his history with the car! This man is a true 5.0 O.G lol
He is a true 5.0 OG that's for sure! Thank you for watching.
Very well documented.. Original foxbody owner! &&& the other car he got in high school?! That man is a serious foxbody fan!
Another beast of a FoxBody on your channel and another great review Tom!
Thank you, Matt! I appreciate all the support. Can't wait to see Tar Heel Fox in person!!!
AWESOME CAR !! WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT WITH SOME GOOD SWAY BARS, SUSPENSION AND AN ACTUAL GOOD BRAKE SETUP !!! LOVE GOING FAST BUT I LEARNED A LONG TIME AGO THAT GREAT BRAKES ARE JUST AS FUN AS GOING FAST ! GET SOME NEW MUSTANG BRAKES ON THERE AND SHOULDNT COST NEARLY WHAT WILWOODS OR AFTERMARKET BREMBOS GO FOR.. IM SURE YOU COULD MAKE NEWER PARTS FIT SO YOU DONT HAVE TO TAKE AWAY TOO MUCH $ FROM THE GO FAST GOODIES ! BE SAFE AND KEEP ON RACING BROTHER !!
My 4 lug hero!!Running good times and good power, on slicks no less!!! Everyone keeps pushing 5 lug, I knew it could be done with 4!
It was always done with 4 lug guys have gone 7s on 4 lug 5 lug was never needed as a strength thing it was more to have better brake and wheel options than anything else that whole needing 5 lug for strength bs is a modern day internet myth lol.
BrotherTom, that was an amazing video and really enjoyed seeing that beautiful fox and hearing the back story of it! Then it was piggy backed with his high school fox🙌🏼 Loved everything, have a great day brother✊🏼🏁
Thank you very much for watching, Paul! Appreciate all the support, my friend! Hope to jump in on another one of your YoutTube live broadcasts soon.
That is a great story!
I had a dark blue 86 GT and then a 93 calypso LX 5.0 in HS. I'd love to have them both back. :(
I had an 85 GT and then a 92 LX as a daily for about 7 years. Then waited until I was 40, but finally got another which is my current Blue 89 GT. They're still out there!
It’s always great to watch a video with an interesting story behind it
Nice video Tom Good to see you back at it 👍👍
Thank you! I have a few more planned for this year. Some really great car reviews coming!
Some guys crab about Fox Body Mustangs but when set up, I like 'em. There's so much a fella can do with them and you're dealing with a little less weight than a lot of the Mustangs. This little blue jewel is very clean. By the sound of it on the strip Joe's pretty good at grabbing gears.
Great interview!
Thank you very much for watching and commenting! I had a great time doing this one.
Got my name on it all day. I’m getting sick of the bikes. Definitely need my high school car back. Had 3 fox body’s back in the day.
Every time I get in mine it takes me back to the high school days! I've seen a lot of people track down their old cars and buy them back recently too. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Awesome. I have had my 86 GT convertible since November of 1995. I have close to the same emotional attachment as you
Yes I love 351s
I LOVE THIS CAR
I really wish I would've kept my 87 GT that I purchased brand new.
Bill had the Monica mobile huh?🤣
Awesome car and interview!
Thank you very much for watching and commenting! Had a lot of fun doing this one!
Great video, BT. Beautiful foxbody too! Once mine gets back from Dr. Foxbody, I’d love to show it to you. Cheers 🍻
I'm always up for doing foxbody reviews! Especially ones coming from Dr. Foxbody!
@@BrotherTom I’ll keep you informed…
Great video bud!!! That ride along was nasty 😈
Those street tires were spinning a lot so we were limited, but even with half throttle you can feel how much power this car has! Thank you for all the support! Appreciate it!
Had a lot of fun doing this. Thanks Tom
I have a Anderson pms on my car. Can’t get it dialed in right. Can you link me in with the tuner guy you used
Give mike a call at DynotuneMP (847) 347-5331
@@BrotherTom thanks bro !!
badass intro
Gorgeous mustang!! 351w great engine
Very cool review
Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
I know all to well about the tko bite there junk they should give all that bought one the new tkx glad to see they finally made a good one though. that car is sweet and I like the 82 I had an 83 miss that car got a 90 now they are a fun car thanks for sharing
They aren't junk they just don't shift smooth the tkx is obviously much better its much newer
Met this man!! ( & car!!)
Beautiful car!!😍
Great video! Love the way you put it together @BrotherTom and love the 351W setup @Joe Sepanik! Was great to see some of Joe's garage, where the magic happens. Can you get the Fox high enough on your 4-post lift to park another car underneath?
Yes but I can’t open the garage door. But when I put the motor back in my 82 I rolled it under the lift 90 degrees with just the front sticking out to put the motor back in
Very nice car love the ride along
Nice stuff man ! Coming from Paul’s channel 👍👍
Thank you for watching and commenting! I'll have more videos coming soon. Paul's a great guy and I really like his channel too.
@@BrotherTom looking forward to it !!
Great video bro
Thank you very much!
She's a beauty
Man that car sound so good.
Very Cool Video 👍😁👍
Thanks for watching, cuz! Need to catch up on some of your videos. Nice to see you're still playing.
@@BrotherTom Have you at least watch The terrible animated video with the Lyrics...
No Love 4 the Greyjoys.. song??? If you watched Game of Thrones, or read the Books ...that's what it's from.
I also show how I played the Lead on the following video.
If not it's cool 🤪👍
@@jamesfetcho6315 Yeah I've watched, but I've never seen one GOT ever so had no clue what it was haha
Man that thing is super clean 🦊🚗🔴👊👍💯🔧🇺🇲
dream fox right there!
That computer is the best!
“I Break It A Lot”😂😅🤣 Good interview again Tom👌
Haha, Joe is the real deal! And thank you for watching the new video and commenting. Really means a lot!
If you ain’t broke it you ain’t driving it hard 😂😂
@@BrotherTom you more than welcome brothertom. The pleasure was mine. It was like hanging out with y'all talking foxbodys!!!
@@joesepanik5021 🤣😂
absolutely awesome. and ford power, even better.
❤😂😢😮😅😅😅😊😊😊😊 that mustang mine was a LX fox I miss it. It was fast. I raced a Ferrari and I kicked his ass and keep up the good work with your Mustang. Take care. Have a good week.
Great story!
Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
Awesome
Absolutely Feckin Awesome
Thank you very much for watching and commenting! This car is really fun, that's for sure!
Thanks
one of the rare instances where a man doesnt have to sell his cool car when he becomes a dad. lucky guy haha
Nice car! Boost makes everything better. I went to the 30 anniversary at Charlotte in 94. They let you drive around the track it was great! My 90 hatch setup is at least 20 yrs old now. Built in the hey day of the foxbody so it's similar. Stock lines wow. I put the whole aeromotive setup in mine but it's making about the same tuned for 93. D1 procharger 308 ci. A4 block with too much cam & old Fast efi. I like high rpms under boost👍Those old t5's definitely felt the pain. Tko mo better. 33 splines and spool too. Dig that 93 man
Yeah I remember the cars going around the track all day. That was my 1st car show ever and I won most desirable 79-93 from the Sweden mustang club
@@joesepanik5021 that's so cool . I've been to alot of car shows but that was probably the biggest one I think all these years later . The infield was covered
I know the feeling I'm the original owner of my '91 Mustang Notchback 5.0...
Very cool! Hang on to that Notch! Hope to have one in my garage next to the GT some day too. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Badass I know that feeling I'm the Original owner of Our Hotrod Check out our channel like subscribe and share
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman”,”I did not inhale” (same guy.. and yes he did)😂😂😂
You are correct haha
Awesome content, just subbed!👈💯
Thank you very much for watching and for the sub! I have more reviews planned so stay tuned!
@@BrotherTom Absolutely! Great in depth content. I enjoy the information and interviews with the car owners! Thanks!👈💯
Can you tell me how or whats being used to control the meth injection underboost?
It’s a Snow meth kit it comes with a progressive controller
Nice
Nice mustang
I'm 3rd owner my dad was second on my 83
Beautiful fox! I have a 93 351w as well. A supercharger is on my list. Did you have to do anything to the rear end and axles? Nice to hear about the tkx transmission too. I've had my eye on it...
Yes I did because I raced the car and put a spool and 35 spline axels in but if it’s just on the street I’ll be fine
@@joesepanik5021 what is your shifter setup and where did you get the carbon bezel?
niiice hat's down man
I'll take a 351 swap fox over a Coyote swap anyday all day. Something about those 351w motors
Beaut car
I have that same exhaust on my 02. With long tubes and h-flow h pipe. Hes right its VERY loud lol
Loud and obnoxious...just like it should be haha! Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@BrotherTom u bet!
4 Lug! Cmon dude.
Specs on wheels and tires, where did you purchase them? Great car, no crazy mods but fast. Old school the way it’s supposed to be.
Front 17-9 245/45/17 rear 17-10 275/40/17 I bought them from OE Wheels not shire they sell them anymore but they are cobra 10th Anniversary wheel style
I'm in the middle of the same swap with a Paxton novi 2000 was the hood the only thing you did to clear the engine and the super charger
Yes needed hood clearance. I also modified the accessory brackets to fit a 351 on the driver side and redid 1 hole on the supercharger bracket
What motor mounts did you use. The motor is sitting low enough almost for a stock hood
Stock and when I did have the stock hood the GT-40 intake was cut down and I still had to space the rear of the hood about an 1/8 inch
❤😂😢😮😅😅😊 probably not stupid stories but good stories that’s one bad ass Mustang. I can’t wait until it’s done and I see the video if you’re gonna do one and I like all of the Mustang, but I prefer fox body better squat and move.
How was the vortech supercharger mounted on the block with the deck height difference? @brothertom
Hey Derrik, here is the answer Joe gave to a similar question. "Vortech SI trim 302 brackets bolted to the head and just redrilled bottom hole to the block and made a spacer". Hope that helps!
I wanna know what shifter that is. That's the exact kind of short throw shifter i want.
Pretty sure it’s the stock short throw that came with the TKX. MGW is a great choice too. That’s what I have in my 89 GT
@@BrotherTom TY that brand you mentioned looks great. Bookmarking that
Yes it the stock shifter that came on the TKX but I put a shorter handle on it as I didn’t come with a Handle
Hes a badddd man
Is it stock bottom or do you have some different pistons in it?? I noticed you said .030 over just interested to see what compression it’s running now as the Lightning is like 8.8:1 on the stock heads. Also what cam is in the car it sounds beautiful.
I have a gen1 Lightning engine I’m looking to do some mods too.
Thanks and god bless.
The crank is stock upgraded rods and pistons compression is around 9.2:1 the cam is custom. Thanks
@@joesepanik5021 Shoulda added a stroker kit with them TrickFlow heads n cams would make much more power n torque..
@@joesepanik5021 where did you get the hood from? Love the look!
Boss Inc
If you mind me asking, which 4 lug rear axles are you using?
I have 33 spline strange I have a spool
cool story
What rims & tires are on the mustang when not on the track ? What would you recommend for a 88 LX 5.0 w/ 4 lug original manhole cover rims - you've got a beautiful car for sure !
Same find unless I change over to slicks
As far a rims go to keep it simple LMR get rims there they should fit nice
What supercharger kit and bracket is he running for the 351w swap?
Vortech SI trim 302 brackets bolted to the head and just redrilled bottom hole to the block and made a spacer
How did you get the Vortech to fit under the hood of the 351w?
When I had the stock hood trimmed the under hood braces and raised the rear an1/8 inch
aaand yet someone else with a TKX... I've been on the list for 6 months. smh... Bad ass Foxbody fo SHO !
Hey you might try contacting Nick at Streetcar Shenanigans in Antioch IL. He’s a Tremec dealer and has been filling orders recently! That’s his 9 second Cobra in my other video too. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I ordered mine in January got it in may
Beautiful. Where did you get the bright blue body stripe?
Thanks and the stripe was from LMR it was a factory part
@@JoeSepanik is that factory for an LX?
I think it could have been
Wow this was very inspiring! I’m more of a 94-98 sn95 type of guy but I love anything ford! I own a 96 cobra and a bone stock clean title 03 Oxford white Mach 1
Very nice collection you got there I once had a 97 cobra intake hpipe flows steeda shifter and 4.10s and I also had a fbo stock 3.55 geared Mach 1 with a Bama tune it was prob just over 300 wheel I'd say it ran very good I loved both cars. I now have an 07 gt500 with the 5.4 4v mod motor that and the tr6060 are the main reasons I wanted one I love shelbys part of what I love about it is it reminds me of my old 97 cobra it's just on steroids by comparison as I'm running a gen3r pushing 750 rwhp lol. I love the old 4v mod motors the coyote is great but those old mod motors are awesome and sound sick. They can be made to run very fast too don't get it twisted.
@@midnight347 oh damn, you had the same collection as me lol…oh nice! I bet your gt500 is a beast with that gen 3R! 750whp is all you need for the streets! I almost got a 07 gt500 for a spanking hood deal but it ended up being more bullshit than anything! I ended up getting an e90 m3, last of the n/a performance bmw was putting out, but my dream car and goal is to get in a shelby gt350R
@@midnight347 you’re absolutely right about the 4.6 mod motor which is why I’m building my teksid 4.6 mod motor instead of coyote swapping it! It is just as capable as a coyote and people don’t seem to understand that, the only thing that the coyote has on the 4.6 dohc is variable valve timing and a little more displacement THATS IT!
We have similar setups, and what I’m most amazed at is the stock lines. I don’t think it could be possible without the meth inj. FYI, a normal cowl hood wouldn’t fit if you just raise the blower with the head, the flat portion of the hood would contact it normally. What are you general PMS timing settings? I ran a ton of timing down low and brought it back down according to boost (or rpm’s with the vortech). Simple but very effective set up, nice job (love the old school MOTORSPORT windshield banner)!
Yeah I’m think I’m going with a hellcat pump soon and just run a single pump and see if it can make closer to 700rwhp. I had the stock hood and had to raise the rear and trim the under hood bracing I had a different intake at the time. PMS setting very the best way is tuning it on a dyno
@@joesepanik5021 Without changing the lines, I’m sure you’ll have issues regulating the fuel pressure with the hellcat pump. I’m still shocked at your HP level with stock lines, but again I’m sure the meth kit and extra octane is helping with that respect. Post more videos in the future with your progression, would live to see more!
I was wondering what style of hood is on the vehicle?
Boss inc and they are no longer in business
What rear end gear dose the car have ?
Right now it has a 3:55
Anyone know info on the hood? Love the look of it!
Hey it’s a Boss Inc but they are out of business sadly
Did you have any hood clearance problems? If so how did you fix it? Awesome car btw
With the stock hood yes
@JoeSepanik how did you fix the problem? What hood and modifications? My friend has 351w with v3 and cowl hood still hits. Thanks
Well when I still had the stock hood I had a GT-40 intake and had the lower shaved like 3/8 I think and I raised the rear of the hood about 1/4 with some washers
I can’t wAit to 351 swap my 94 cobra
Is is your supercharger aV-3 SI or a V-2 SI
That's a V2. The V3 is self contained so no oil line going to the pan.
What camshaft is in this?
Custom close to like a Trickflow stage 2 it was done almost 20 yrs ago
Got him beat my 90 with 2 miles
