New roush engine owner

[Roush2vfox]

Didn't see a new dude section, but I am installing a 2001 Roush Stage III motor into a '92 fox coupe. I believe the motor is from a wrecked car on here (Roushrocks?) I have the engine detailed and installed with a AJE mod swap K member. I have swapped in a complete '03 cobra hydra-boost brake system, and deleted the A/C off the engine and car. The only mods I can find that the engine doesn't already have are: a Metco 2.57 pulley, a Lightning 90mm MAF, and a CAI from the only company I can find that makes a Stage III CAI. These will be arriving shortly. I plan on using ceramic coated long tubes, off road X pipe, and Magnaflow mufflers. The car as a full Strange adjustable suspension w/ UPR control arms, a built Moser rear axle with a spool, cage is from Wild Rides. The big hold up for the project will be the fuel system. I have plans for a Aeromotive sumped stock style fuel tank with the complete Aeromotive '01 return style kit and rails to feed more HP than this thing will make. I work at a Speed shop so the parts come at cost and the dyno/tuning time is free so that will help out. I've been lurking for few days and you guys seem to really know your stuff when it comes to these Roush parts, I'm sure you'll get tired of my questions...Oh I forgot to mention that I'm friends with Nick (Orangestang04) but dont hold that against me. LOL

Here's a few teaser pic's







Enjoy, Joe

That is a sweet conversion, that thing looks sick in that engine bay. What are your plans with body? Are you a bogarts/welds wheel type, or are you a 17 inch bullitt/saleen wheel type?

It's my weekend warrior/nice day cruiser. I plan to leave it a smooth looking coupe. I want it to look like a 12 sec car, then go bust off a low ten and drive it home! I have a nice set of fat-n-skinny Weld draglites (yawn) with 2 extra's that were for my slicks, but after putting these Billet Specialties Street lites on the wifes hatch I need an update.



I luv the pro touring look, but I hang out with drag racers And need to go as fast as possible (stupid male ego) So I haven't choose my wheel/tire combo. There's not much avail for 4 lug anyway. I'll update as much as possible, after doing the suspension,roll cage, and buying the motor this year....I need another bonus!!
