My credo
Work hard and play harder
You can achieve the same results on the spark wires with zip ties. I believe that is how mine are done. The shield however would hide my Torque Monster headers and I like the look of them. Teddy, as usual man, excellent work.

Thanks!
The mounts from your '94 Mustang would be perfect, it's what I used. The '94/'95 Mustang mounts are the same as the Fox bod vert mounts.
The Tri-Y headers will fit your heads, but you may need to do a little bit of grinding on your bellhousing. The '94/'95 bellhousing locates the starter and clutch fork at a lower angle than the Fox bell/trans, so they come close or touch the headers.

Guess I can toss some updates here. In the past year I swapped the seats, they're mounted on power Explorer tracks, painted the interior trim, and installed my "custom" Sport Trac cluster.
Finally finished my hood and painted/installed it and the tonneau. Stock Ranger hood that I grafted a Fox body cowl to.
Swapped the GT40 tubular intake, found a cover plate for it... Not in the pics, but I have a new C&L 76mm MAF housing and 24lb injectors...
May be other stuff, but here are some pics:

Hey guys, nice to see that this site is still around.

My Ranger is still working well, 12-13 years after I swapped it. Stumbled to this page via google.
Thanks to everyone who helped when I was building!
