I got the chance to review Johnathan (aka MerdhantSVT) amazing 87 Hatchback that he's owned since 1997 92 while at Foxtoberfest and here's my take.

PS - To my loyal subscribers, I know i've been gone a while, and it's due mainly to life and job changes, but I'm going to make an effort to get back to this hobby as well. I may need more time, but hopefully this upload is the start of something more consistent. Either way, thank you all for your continued support and I can assure you that this is not the end of GearHead704.
Bout time buddy!!!! Hands down should have been the show winner!!!!! Can’t wait to see ya in a few months!! And always loves them bloopers
Thanks Joe i'm looking forward to seeing you guys and hopefully I can keep this up on the regular a little more. Thanks so much for your continued support, I really appreciate it.
Man,so many thing I didn’t notice on the car before thanks for the video.
That is an incredibly awesome and clean build! Great coverage! Good to see you back at it Brother!
OG! Thanks man, I appreciate it, you keep doing what you are doing and thanks again for the t-shirts.
@@GearHead704 Thank you Matt! 🙏🏾 You’re more than welcome! 💯👊🏾
Miss with my LX 5.0 🦊. My first car when I turned 16 and had it through high school. I touched every nut and bolt on that car. Moved away for a job after HS and my pops had to it out as he was low on funds. (Don’t blame him as he helped a lot with the build). In 1997 with my dad’s helped we flipped the stock headers around facing the front of the car and fabbed in twin T3 turbos with a powerstroke diesel FMIC. GT40 heads, 42 lb injectors, trick flow upper and lower intake, Tremec TKO trans, aluminum drive shaft, auburn pro 3.55 diff, welded torque boxes, home made subframe connectors and lots of suspension upgrades. Nothing could touch that car in my small home town in Hamilton, OH. On the hunt for another one to build
What a great story and memories, man I bet that were wasn't much that could touch that car in country back, especially on the street!
@@GearHead704 Back then there was only a handful of people turbocharging their 5.0’s. Vortec S-Trims was the go to power adder. We had no lap tops back then. Used only 02 readings prayed timing was safe. Had to use our ears and seat of our pants to tune it. First drive down the road it popped and banged very bad when boost came in. Kept retarding timing little by little and it slowly got better. Will never forget when she lit off for the first time. Nothing could touch that car. It ate every T/A and Camaro. Looking back now I am just happy I didn’t fold it up. Had a lot of close calls. The front end aero was atrocious. Made a high speed pull late on night on the freeway and had no idea how fast I was going but was winding out 5th gear and what felt like 150 plus the front end caught air and lifted. Steering inputs left the chat. Thankful she stayed semi straight but definitely crossed a few lanes before I regained control.
Welcome back Matt! It’s been a long time hope all is well 🤟🏻
Yes it has been a while! Thanks Brian, it was nice to post something for a change.
Man matt ive been waiting for an upload forever ! Good to see you back 👍
Same here!
Thanks so much, hopefully this can be a more regular thing.
Be that guy 😉
One mighty clean fox you got there! 🤤
He should! lol
Boyz, the memories I had back in my 5.0 GT 5 speed with straight pipes back to cherry 🍒 bombs. She was a tad rowdy, and I loved it. I eventually swapped over to Flowmaster exhaust like just about everyone else did. Even though I loved my cha cha cha cherry bombs that Flowmaster was so smooth and gurgly wurgly, ohh, I loved that damn thing. I bought it off a friend who bought it new. He beat the dog 💩 out of it. I got a hella deal on it with an extree set of low-profile Pirrellies and some alunium deep dish rims. I slowly got it fixed up, working my butt off roofing during the day and scrap metal recycling at night. I finally got it where I wanted it and painted it. Safire Black, which is black, but it has a subtle tint of Purple you could just barely see in the sun. After about 5 yrs of owning it this young fella down the road that I took for a ride now and then because he loved the car got his license and mommy and daddy made me an offer I could not refuse. I had about 17k in the car at the time, and they came and offered me 22,000 for it, plus I got this badass lil odyssey. The thing had a 1,000 Ninja motor on it bored to 1,100 and that thing scaaa aa reamed. I only got to 6th gear one or two times in it. You get up 150-60-70 on one of those a bee could wipe your @$$ out, lmao. I was happy just using 1-5. Thank you. I honestly think if I had it to do over again knowing what I know now, I would have kept it. Oh, and youngin was drag racing one night up over a hill, and El Caro went El Flyo. He hit some trees and a house, and that was the end of that. I cried the day he told me I wanted to rear neked choke him out to snoozville 🫳🏾😴🖕🏼.. Oh well 🤷 that's life FORD POWAHHH...😂
So sad to hear it went flying with the young kid but at least you have the memories.
Great review, Matt! Watched every minute. Absolutely amazing build!
Tom!!!!! You're too kind buddy, thanks so much. I still think you do the best reviews out there my friend.
Glad to see you Matt! ❤
Thanks for sharing this amazing fox. ❤
Thanks, It was my pleasure!
Super next level fox. I also had an ‘87 as my first car (well skip the hand me down ‘81 4 cyl coupe I had for a hot minute). Like we all say… should have never sold it! Mine was an LX T-top. Did HCI, full exhaust, gears and Vortech. Great memories with buddies back then. Even cruised the Ford World Challenge from Ontario down to Bowling Green with it back in ‘99 IIRC.
Man that's awesome, you probably had one of the fastest cars on the street back at that time!
thiink my son and i saw this at hyperfest in v.a. We both agreed this is the NICEST foxbody weve ever seen!!
I agree it's right there, cool you got to see it in person.
That car is gorgeous probably the best built fox I've seen
Absolutely I would have to paint it black or a very dark gray with some black stripes or some lil addition to make it pop. I just have never liked red. Almost everyone does the red thing. I like a sleeper, not sticky outy too much burnout machine. This car is absolutely a work of art 🎨 and I bet a blast to drive.
Agreed.
Ive owned mine for 27 years and its a 1000+hp turbocharged beast too!
Oh that's amazing!
My first mustang was a 1986. Bought it in 1996. I was 18 still have it at 46.
Amazing! Love to hear stories like this.
got my 86 gt in 87 I was 19. Like most, it was stolen...cop in Mexico was driving it for yrs before it disappeared .Probably retagged and back in Ca somewhere
I have pics of this GT saved on my pc lol, thing is so sick. It makes me want another Fox Body!
Definitely get one! They are fun.
Beautiful build! ❤
Absolutely
Nice to see a video again! I absolutely LOVE that car! I've been following him on IG for quite a while now. I'd love to see that car in person. I'm not building my own car to that level, but have gained some inspiration from that car.
Thanks Puzzlefox, it was nice to post again! It's amazing to see in person. I'll never build anything to that level myself, but great to see.
Great to see you back on social media. Hope all is well and more content is in the future!
Thank you, it was fun to be able to post something again.
One of my foxes had that cowl dent for the same reason lol. I'm not sure there was ever a fox with an aftermarket hood that didn't fly up haha.
You might be right! lol
Matt!!! Where you been buddy? Was worried… looking forward to seeing you guys at MW and Foxtoberfest!
Got a new job that has me on the road a lot. Unfortunately I will not make MW this year, but should be at Foxtoberfest! Miss seeing y'all.
@@GearHead704 Understand priorities and hope it’s a move up and forward! Will miss seeing you guys and hopefully see you at Foxtoberfest Matt.
One of the nicest foxes I’ve ever seen
I agree.
Good to see new content Matt! Great video as usual!
Thanks so much!
Man this is a bad ass built 💯
couldn't agree more.
Good to see you. Was wondering how you and Tiff were doing. Incredible car. Love the paint. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT
Tim thanks so much for showing up for my return! I really appreciate you man and will pass the messag on.
Great to see a new video from you Matt and I'm such a badass build I've been watching this car for a long time on social media and it is amazing! Good to see you post a new video to I hope you're back sooner than later!
Thanks for always supporting! It is much appreciated.
Glad to see you back buddy. Awesome car!!!
Thanks man and yes it is an awesome ride!
Best 20 minutes of my day!
Mr Garza you are toooooo kind sir! Enjoy that cobra man
Those fox gauges are awesome! That's the only way I would display that dash
How was it done?
I love them too! I'm guessing it's a setting on the instrument cluster maybe that's part of the system?
It’s a download that someone created but I need to know whom it was and where to pay for it!
Ok you can try asking the owner. He's on instagram @merchantsvt
@@GearHead704 already did yesterday it’s been 24 hours and he hasn’t responded yet. Now I will have to make my 90 coupe better than his car to avenge this disrespect! THIS IS MY ORIGIN STORY!
Beautiful build
It really is!
Imo that's the hottest fox out there! So glad it's a gt hatch, I'm so sick of everyone building and being obsessed with notchbacks.
I agree it's nice to see a hatch build for a change. I'm still partial to verts lol
Welcome back Matt!!! Great vid!
Thanks Sean!
Elizabeth this is the big one!! GearHead704 is back
Thanks man, it's great to be able to post again.
Awesome Machine 🦊💪👊🇺🇸🔥
Agreed FT!
wow! the money this car has seen just in parts is MAD!
I'm sure
My first car was a 85’ Mustang LX. Bought it in 2003. Didn’t know what I had at the time, drove it for about 2 years and then I traded it in for a crappy 2005 Silverado. Been kicking my self ever since 😂
Man dude,,,never trade a Ford for a chevi,,,😂😂
Oh no! Sounds like a sweet fox you had there.
@@460duck I regret it everyday 😂 No they’re getting harder to find. A rust bucket runs for $5k+ in my area.
@@DieselDog1982 u still got my 86,1 owner
Thanks for the post. We have missed you!
That's so kind to hear! Thank you so much, I hope to be back more regularly but we'll see.
Saw this fox at Foxtoberfest, one beautiful Fox.
Couldn't agree more.
@GearHead704 actually met you too, it was nice meeting you
Very cool, I' glad we got to meet.
He is still alive!!
LOL barley but yea ;-)
@GearHead704 glad to hear. I see Bj Adams in the background with his SSC. DOUBLE FEATURE!! LOL
Beautiful car..Great video sir..
It sure is! And thnanks.
That's going to crash into a crowd of people so fast.
That's the narrative on Mustangs for sure, but I know Jonathan is an excellent drive.
Elizabeth is the big one!!
Hey MIke!
I would definitely move the turbos back under the hood
A few people have commented that now.
@@GearHead704for sure man do it,beautiful car though
Bad Ass
💯
How did he get the Holley dash to display the factory look
No idea, but that is the most popular question in the comments.
Where can I get that Holley dash download?
No idea, but that is the most popular question in the comments.
The turbo placement is coolrunning with no filters, not smart...smh
Seems to work well for him.
It's funny every Ford owner knows you basically have to go to the modular engine to make north of 700 hp
Tell me you have no clue without telling me 😂
I think it's an easier path, but you can do it with pushrod as well. Modular typically gives you better driveability.
Hoods not centered, has a swapped engine , swapped lugs, swapped interior. 60% Fox left. Cool toy tho.
Very cool toy!
