Anyone have any insight into this combo for stock. Its for a friend who is interested in building one, is it a feasible combo and how expensive to build a decent motor? Appears to me to fall in O but I haven't seen any so that's not a good sign.

There is at least 2 members here that run that combo.
It is basically a Fox Mustang 5.0 combo but with a slightly heavier shipping weight so the 94-95 can also fit into the P class. So all the mods for 87-93 Mustangs with the 5.0 would apply. (same cam, heads, shortblock, etc if I recall correctly) Might need to go to an aftermarket ECU, or use a plug-n-play system like a TWeecer that plugs into the factory wiring harness. I am thinking of moving my 95 Mustang 5.0 Pure Stocker up to NHRA Stock with a trans change, a cam change and a spooled rear end as well as an approved EFI system on NHRA's approved product list.

That Combo should run -.500 with no problem, the upper intake is restrictive compared to 93 upper intake IMO. The body style is not very appealing to most Mustang enthusiasts IMO, fox bodies have a ton of R&D.

Alicia Anderson, Rusty Johnson's (much) better half
![]() Rusty monitors this site and you could send him a PM if you had questions about it. Personally, I far prefer the '94-'98 Mustang body style to either the Fox or the '99-'04 models. Take a close look at Nick Morris's SSGT car sometime if you want a beautiful example of that body style. I particularly dislike the '99-'04 and I think they are the ugliest Mustang since the '71-'73, one of which I own and used to race ![]() http://www.cars.com/go/advice/Story....=&aff=national

DANG!!! talk about haters! LOL! I love the 71-73 fastbacks, the worst in my eyes is the mustang II followed VERY closely by the "modern mustangII"....the 94-98. The 99-04's aren't the best looking either.
As far as examples, heck that certain mustangII running a 2bbl 302 that just got wacked with hp actually doesn't look too bad...if you squint...real hard...lol! |

Yeah, well other than being pretty big and heavy, just try running a faster car from the left lane while in a 71-73 fastback. You can't see a damn thing out of it and can't get a read on the other car until he is right next to you, at which time it is probably too late to drive the finish line.
Interestingly, I suspect the same is true of the new Camaros as I have heard you can't see anything out the rear of them either. I'm old enough to remember a magazine article on the '71 fastback when it first came out and it said that trying to look to the rear was like looking through a mail slot. True, that. Hey, I still like the car, I do have one after all.....

Very good information on this site. Thanks to Dwight Southerland. This is just the reason he posted it. Should help you get your combo going in the right direction..

The SN95 body style has one of the lowest aerodynamic Cd of any Mustang body especially when compared to the Fox body. The intake design was changed in 94-95 to clear the low hood profile. It is the reason why the 1995 Cobra R required a different hood due to the higher deck of the 351W engine.
