You hardly ever see a foxbody in junkyards here in south Carolina they all normally super solid and get bought way before they make it to scrap/junkyards
I gotta get some time to go searching at the pickapart but the closet one to me is about 40 miles away the has a foxbody lol that 93 vert looks like mine used to in color before mine was painted black metallic!
Loved it bud it's amazing what you can pull with a budget intended mindset instead of paying for everything new, little bit of elbow grease, sanding, and some fresh paint on those 5 lug swap parts and you're good to go. This video got me thinking it sucks that the Fusion and New edge fans won't retro fit to our cars especially new edge stuff.
5.0 tussin channel also does some junkyard hunting if someone wants to know what to look for. like you said, cheaper to find this OEM quality stuff than grab an aftermarket kit and hope for the best. i live in the snow belt, so cars this old would be rusted underneath. we all want to be respectful of the next picker, but a rusted nub of a fastener can turn a 1 hr pull to an all day job.
Nice, enjoy the junkyard finds, this how budget build work, you have get those much needed, swaps and upgrades that the budget builders are looking for. Keep the parts find coming.
Junkyards around here are stripped to the bone of the older good stuff No contours taurasses nothing. I know where there’s one 96+ up spindle for $40 I want to go pick it up.
LMR sells the lower fender spats for 91-93 for $140. I see what looks like a fine pair right there, probably for less than $40. Should have grabbed those.
What is a good transmission air cooler and fan for the fox you can get at a junkyard? I know some frown upon I but u have used a used one before and worked fine. I would like to get a stronger one. Budget is low and I like how you shop the junkyard
that would be an interesting question. all i can think of is check the trucks set up for towing or RV conversion vans. you may find an aftermarket setup on one, but that'd be good enough. As for a cooling fan for a trans cooler, i'd guess some research on what CFM is needed, and then buy a fresh wiring setup so it turns on at the temp you need so you aren't relying on something past its prime.
@@Neomustangs yes 31 spline vs 28 spline. What about the lengths? That's why 2 driver side axles worked. Just wondering if the Explorer axles in some combination would work too. I did it over 20 years ago and all these Explorers were still on the road instead of Pick n Pull.
@@Mustang_Chris THe explorer axle themselves is larger and the housings are bigger. The Diff can be transferred to a fox/sn95 axle to be used as an upgrade with aftermarket axles. Saves money and they work just fine.
@@Neomustangs Oh I didn't know the whole housing and everything was bigger. Could the whole thing be swapped, maybe with a little cutting/welding to make the control arm brackets line up? Stronger housing, axles, diff, and disc brakes all in one swap? Are both sides equal lengths? Just thinking about feasibility.
I grab any ford aluminum driveshaft I see. Then I buy a new flange and yoke, if needed. Local shops charge about 150 to shorten, balance and install new ujoints.
@@Neomustangs well. My next question would be would it be worth spending five $600 or whatever a machine shop is going to charge to clean the heads up and do what's needed maybe valves seals guides etc etc or use them as a boat anchor and find some better heads
@@billpace3489 If you have a SBE 302 GT40 heads are always worth spending some money on. Your not gonna find much of anything aluminium atm anyways that wouldnt be much better.
@@Neomustangs yeah the market for parts have gotten pretty slim. And it's hard for me to buy aluminum heads on marketplace or any used spots because can't believe what anybody tells you. About the part they are selling.
500hp isnt hard to achieve with a 351w. You can build a stroker and achieve good N/A results around that area. Or just bone stock rebuild and some JY parts with a small turbo you can build yourself.
@@Neomustangs thanks. I think for the time being I'm gonna stay N/A. Dunno if I'll end up turbo or vortec charging it or just leaving it. All I know is I want a 351W, do disrespect to the 302 but I want 500hp + and my local foxy guy says better off starting with a 351 cuz 302 tops out around 450-500
@@Neomustangs what I'd love to do is grab a 351W roller motor and build a 408 stroker but don't have that kinda money lol. Very tight budget for me. Trying to sell my snowmobile to get started on this 89 my buddy has
You lifted the hood of that V6 explorer and shut it so fast 🤣🤣🤣
There was only one v8 explorer there..
You need to make a series of this kind of stuff. Part 2, part3, & so forth
There’s multiple live streams and like 5 other videos like it in my channel….

GT40 gottta catch ‘em all
Hell yeah JY Gold! That Red Steering wheel and Bezel Cluster tho!
Yes
Love the junkyard stuff
What a treasure trove of parts. I enjoyed your walk through. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for all the helpful information, I absolutely Love walking the junkyards and looking..
Yes sir thank you Matt

I run through LKQ every two weeks. Rarely do I see any foxbodies but lately I've been seeing alot of new edge V8 mustangs.
Ya it may be their time to be salvage?

Holy rust belt batman!
Great video! Love to see the junkyard stuff. Got a little dizzy with the camera spin.
Sorry about that. Didnt realize my iphone was so unstable.
Looked like a pretty clean yard. The one near me is littered with parts and hazardous to walk around the cars! Pull-A-Part 😕
Love the junkyard stuff man! Keep on doing what you do buddy! Thank you!!
You bet!
Cool! You are giving me ideas when the weather here cools down (98-99F all last week). All the junkyards in my area are right next to the river.
Nice, enjoy the junkyard finds, this how budget build work, you have get those much needed, swaps and upgrades
that the budget builders are looking for. Keep the parts find coming.
Yes sir thx for watching
😎👍🏻😎👍🏻😎👍🏻😎👍🏻
It's crazy to see it from the out side looking in I was working as you made this
Haha what’s up man
Don't forget to look at the v6 exploers and see which ones have the red 30lb injectors
Great info!!!
Glad it was helpful!
New sub! Liked 🙏👍❤️
Good stuff. I always enjoy the JYD videos.
Me too!
I enjoyed the video Bro! I appreciate you droppin some of your knowledge on us! 💯
Yes sir
Nice video Dan!!
Ty
Good stuff in your U-Pull
Yep I think so too
@@Neomustangs those things don't last long around me.
Love these pick videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
I need to start sourcing my junkyard gt40 parts
Junkyards around here are stripped to the bone of the older good stuff No contours taurasses nothing. I know where there’s one 96+ up spindle for $40 I want to go pick it up.
Damn. I can’t find contour or Taurus either
Hey I have the back bumper off that 93 haha
Getting ready to hit the junk yard tomorrow and u throw this video up 🤘🏻
Haha
Do you know what vehicle axle shafts I need for a 5 lug swap from the junk yard? Ranger 7.5 rear driver side? and which for the passenger?
To keep factor length
Great video man, I'm actually thinking about trying to get a 99-04 v6 and swap everything in to my 87
Gotta save that GT40 stuff.
Hell ya! GT40 stuff is a perfect match for the fox short block
More junkyard videos for sure man 👌
I’ll try
I was told that the longer axle of the older Ranger is the right length for the foxbody
Yes ranger axles work. The one side
I need a 8.8 still for my 7.5 but i didn't know about the spindles from a new edge thanks for the schooling 🤙
No problem 👍
Lol I wish I could still find a fox body in a u pull it, sadly very few local u pull its left thanks to lkq
They aren’t common here either. Just picked thru.
We were at our local lkq today ...this looks pretty familiar lol.
Good video love the content. What year Taurus or Contour dual fan setup is good and what to look for?
It’s the V6 ones you want. Not the 4cyl
LMR sells the lower fender spats for 91-93 for $140. I see what looks like a fine pair right there, probably for less than $40. Should have grabbed those.
Yes. If I cut that jumper out them come too. Soak bolts in wd40
If you ever come across a set of explorer valve covers holler at me
Sure will
rare to see in the junk yard
Yes

Youngstown? You goto to the dream cruise? Toledo here
No i did not.
@@Neomustangs the Woodward dream cruise near Detroit is something I look forward to all year. Great experience every year for the last 4 years I went
Thank you Dan, and your 46 clicks, lol
48 clicks haha
Once again thank you matt for the SUPER THANKS man.. i appreciate it!
If I wanted to do a rear disc swap could I use the new edge stuff but keep mine a 4 lug thug?? Just get 4 lug disc for like a 93 cobra?
Yes
2 Ranger drivers side axles is what I used for the swap, and they fit perfect. Is the Explorer rear axle the same as the Ranger?
NO larger axles. You can reuse the gears in the explorer and use the diff as a budget 31 spline upgrade.
@@Neomustangs yes 31 spline vs 28 spline. What about the lengths? That's why 2 driver side axles worked. Just wondering if the Explorer axles in some combination would work too. I did it over 20 years ago and all these Explorers were still on the road instead of Pick n Pull.

Harder to find now but, I thought I heard a while back the Aerostar vans had aluminum driveshafts that fit our cars? Is that correct?
I grab any ford aluminum driveshaft I see. Then I buy a new flange and yoke, if needed. Local shops charge about 150 to shorten, balance and install new ujoints.
Crown Vic, Explorer, etc.
Did you make it back to get that GT40P before the crusher
Yep
Gt40p heads do you use the pushrods also or use custom length?
Stock 6.25” length. Adjust to 6.30 if needed
Ty
Do you need to change the master cylinder when you swap to rear disk?
You should yes.
@@Neomustangs which one would i need to use?
I got some GT40 heads but 3 plugs are rusted off down to the threads. Can you fix them
A machine shop can probably heli coil it.

Yep even those need looked over as well costing money too. Sometimes people have things for sale for a reason. Sadly.
I'm looking to build myself a 89 gt roller. I want a nice 500hp out of a 351W and not kill my bank account. Any pointers?
