eh... what?

>>16577368
what's the story of the car?

been standing in the yard for 10 years?

>>16577388

The surface rust doesn't mean anything. There will be much bigger problems ahead. Oil, cooling and brakes are probably what you should concentrate on first. That stuff is simple.

i'd first check the body for rust. wheel arches, the bottom of the doors, the sills, floor pan, and look for places where water/dirt builds up.

then the engine, change the oil & filter, check the coolant, check if there is good gas in it. and try to start it. if it's an auto do check the brakes first if they work so it doesn't suddenly shoot away. also if it's an auto check oil level of the tranny. once started check for blue smoke, if there is nothing it probably had a good life.

>>16577669
It had been sitting under an older gents open air car port for the last 10 years. Hasn't been started in that time, the frontal pic has the last inspection sticker. He was in his 60s

>>16577414
I mean your first goal is to make it run at all. Then you can move on to see what's making it run worse than it should be. First thing I'd assume is, plugs, wires, belts, battery, and maybe fuel filter. Along with the usual fluids. Shouldn't be too expensive.

Just because an alternator has surface rust doesn't mean it won't work just fine.

After that just figure out what's not working like it should and slowly fix it. Engines really aren't that complicated. It needs three things; air, fuel, and spark. If it's not working then you're missing at least one of the three.

>>16577918
is it autogagic or manuel?

>>16577833
My brother and I split that cost as well. It's gonna be a project with the both of us. I just went and put out close to $150 in tools per suggestion of another anon.

As it stands now, I know about cars but know next to nothing about how to fix them. All I know is how to do brakes, tires and to change oil.

>>16577941
It's a manual of course lol. I honestly wouldn't have gotten it otherwise.

>>16577368
V8 for $100? Can't beat that. I don't know why people still go crazy over the miata meme. LOL

Miata has a rice tax, weak 4 cylinder engine, and doesn't even have a LSD. Not to mention a weak flexy frame due to convertible.

>>16579206
It's just insulation. Generally wool/fiberglass.

Older cars used asbestos, be careful!

>>16579390
It was either I take it off his hands or the guy was gonna send it to the scrap yard. He's a good friend of my uncles and told me that he had just moved on from driving it as he got older.

In my opinion the fox is infinitely better than the Miata because it can be built to fill any role. Whether it's a drag strip monster, drift beast, or anything else.

SEE IF THE MOTOR WILL TURN THROUGH A BATTERY IN AND TURN THE KEY!

There are only 4 things needed to make an engine run: air, fuel, compression, spark.

Put a breaker bar on the crank bolt and turn the engine over by hand. That will make sure the engine isn't seized.

Before you go to crank it up for the first time, pull the dizzy and spin the oil pump with an electric drill. There are instructions on the Net and YouTube videos on how to do this.

This will ensure that the oil pump is actually working, and it will lubricate the engine before anything is actually moving around. It will prevent LOTS of unnecessary wear on already old as fuck parts.

Once you verify you have oil pressure, put the dizzy back in and fire that puppy up.

If it won't hit, make sure you have fuel pressure, make sure you have spark.

If if fires up, but sounds rough, you'll want to ensure that all of the injectors are firing, plus you'll want to do a compression test to rule out bad rings or a burnt valve.

>>16580409
Also throw.

>>16580437
Ok lol back on track now. I'll add those things to the list of things to look up how to do. I'm willfully going in blind

>>16577375
Those are totally fine.

t. a mechanic

>>16580512
First impressions after getting it towed to my home today, but it's good to know that it shouldn't be a problem. I can push that down the list

>>16577375
Fuck that. As long as it makes good contact with the battery terminals (it will since it's just a fucking piece of metal) you don't have to do that

The internets should have decent guides on resurrecting barn finds.

Mainly:

Oil/Filter Change
Sparkplugs (you can reuse wires for now)
Brake pads/Rotors/Brake fluid flush
Transmission oil
Rear Differential oil
Flush Coolent system
Replace Thermostat (more than likely seized)

And as others have posted, after you change the engine oil/filter, do the oil pump priming procedure before starting. This avoids the engine starting up dry since it has been sitting for such a long time (all the engine oil has drained to the pan).

Before you pull the distributor learn what top dead center is, and how to set it before pulling the distributor out, not the end of the world if it moves, but you have to have the engine and the distributor both set to TDC (top dead center) before starting the engine. Runs like shit if its off.

Learn to love something called PB Blaster, rusty bolts are the devil and a snapped bolt is 100x worse. Use penetrating oil (PB Blaster) on any suspect bolts before applying elbow grease.


Good luck OP, much respect for diving into a project with little automotive knowledge. Take it slow, don't rush the work. When you rush, shit breaks, when shit breaks, you work more.

>>16580658
Even better than PB Blaster is homemade penetrating fluid. It's simply a 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone put into a squirt bottle. Once you use that, you'll never buy anything else.

>>16577937
you're forgetting compression ya nerd

>>16579206
Leave that insulation in place or the engine won't warm adequately.

>>16582222
It's hanging though, isn't that a hazard?

>>16580343
Well I mean it will make you look like a faggot though. But back on track; OP just focus on getting it started first. From there it'll be easier to determine what may need to be replaced. Take it one step at a time and one day at a time and you got this.

>>16582347
I also have a Ford from this period and it has the insulation

it drooped down on the engine once after hard driving and kinda burnt itself on the valve cover but nothing ever happened past that

>>16582696
so will a Foxbody tbqh

worst Mustang

>>16582347
Yes it will. I have a fox body with a fiber glass cowl with no insulation. A fucking 302 doesn't need that shitty insulation to warm up properly lol.

>>16582728
>so will a Foxbody tbqh

>worst Mustang

The fact that you refer to it as a fox body and not a 3rd generation mustang shows how beloved it was. Nobody calls a Miata by it's platform. It's a Miata, they're all Miatas. Sure, they may refer to the chassis code or generation to differentiate it, but nobody looks at you weird when you call it a Miata. There are mustangs, and there are fox bodies.

>>16582863
no anon its called an easy way to tell which generation of Mustang youre talking about

plenty of people use NA NB NC and ND in reference to Miatas

>There are mustangs, and there are fox bodies.

yeah I think most try to differentiate the 2 since Foxbodies are kind of a disgrace to the Mustang name

even then its still a Mustang

I guess people dont call any of them SN-95s S197s S550s or New Edges either

fuck, That's a good deal!


Did you at least give the guy some hand manipulation for the great deal?

>>16582883
>Foxbodies are kind of a disgrace to the Mustang name
You're trying too hard. You do realize the SN-95s are fox bodies too, right? That the fox platform is 79 to 2004. Again, nobody says NA/NB and everyone knows miata. Say fox body and everyone knows exactly what you're talking about.

Why am I arguing with you, you're an /o/ shitposter who wasn't even alive when they ended production.

4. probably because youre an overly defensive fangirl and cant deal with differing opinions like a faggot "liberal" millennial or something

>>16582908
> Foxbodies dont even look like Mustangs
Which is great, because they have that classic 80's shit box look. Other people have different taste and opinions from you. Like you said:
> youre an overly defensive fangirl and cant deal with differing opinions like a faggot "liberal" millennial or something

>Fox platform =/= Foxbody you tard
Actually yes, that's were the name comes from. It's actually the same car with different paneling up until 1999. Even then the differences are small. You call it the worse mustang then claim the same thing in a slightly different package is better. You're ignorant friendo.

>yeah everyone says "NA Miata" or "NB Miata" get out of your trailer park
But nobody has to say fox body mustang. Just fox body.

I appreciate the encouragement I plan on seeing it through. You mentioned that there should be a few places to find restoration guides, have any ideas where I could find one, maybe a link?

>>16583768
I have never seen a restoration guide. I've just seen pics of people as they restored it. I don't think there is a defacto guide. You just need to go through the motions of replacing things an engine that's sat for a while would need serviced like he mentioned.

Once you get it to start, rebuild the rear drums and replace the front rotors with the kit that LMR has. It'll include new pads, rotors, wheel bearings, and all the other little parts you need. Their drum rebuild kit is good too.

>>16583915
I thought just as much. I was optimistic by asking. oh well, Its not like this is mine or my brothers dd so we've got nothing but time to get it done right.

I had a foxbody, pic related is what it looks like now after a 2015 lifted F-150 backed into it.

OP, I suggest swapping your speed density foxbody over to Mass Airflow.
The parts are not expensive, the hardest part is finding a computer. Very easy to do.

I have a nice fat radiator in the car, and the 9 bladed clutch fan. I suggest going dual radiator and getting a thermostat that's housed on your intake to detect when to come on by coolant temperature.
Pretty easy to do.

I don't suggest 5 lugging your car unless you're going to a newer mustang spindle and suspension geometry, because it's easier to find rims and parts for 4 lug foxbodies.

Mass Airflow is necessary for doing things like regulation deletes and any modifications you want to do.
I would NOT suggest modding your vehicle in its current state, speed density HATES any changes to its airflow. It will run rich and you will have a shit load of afterfires.

I don't think it's even worth getting the heads and paying a shop to port them. Seems like just dropping the 1.5k on modern heads produces better results. I know Late Model Restoration assembled an entire top end kit for under 2k that includes heads, intake, and cam, and all the parts you need to go alone with them.

ausfag here fuck i hate the 5.0

its slow as shit in aussie cars. in the 90's and 00's

>>16586940
It's a very slow engine today. It was absolutely ancient by the time it was put in facelifted mustangs. Shit started production in 1969 so it has lot of issues due to dated tech, mostly dealing with air in and out of the engine. Aftermarket has pretty much addressed those. Head swap, cam, and headers can easily net you an increase of 100+ whp.

>>16587046
Sorta. The car never left me stranded, but did give me headaches every now and then. The biggest hurdle with these cars are the fact that they are anywhere from 24-38 years old now.

What that moron is trying to tell you is to get the intake and heads off the explorer, which provide a small gain over the stock shit. His idea to homemade port them, as if that's some easy thing to do correctly without experience, is even more retarded.

Everyone likes to pretend the garbage shit ford produced for the Windsor 5.0 will magically give you 400 horsepower. In reality alphabet cams were garbage, explorer intake was shit, and GT40 heads flowed like a constipated asshole. It's retarded not to just spend the minimal money on the engine to actually get fun returns.

OP failed to mention what year.
>no MAF, but updated grill.
So it's a 1987/88 LX 5.0 sport.
All 87-93 5.0 lx's are virtually identical to gt's. Only difference is the body kit, exhaust tips, fog lights (wiring harness is even the same- behind the dummy foglight switch blank on the dash is the pigtail to plug into the gt switch, plugs for foglights are hanging behind the bumper).
Engine has forged pistons.
Speed density efi (not preferred for mods, has some response issues compared to mass air, but works).
Borg warner world class t5 transmission.
8.8 diff with 28 spline axles, positrac limited slip.
Dual exhaust, 4 cats, 2 o2 sensors.

Fuel pump likes to die around 130k miles.
Trans and diff's around 150-ish

Learn what "torque boxes" are. Its the mounting points for the rear 4-link suspension.
They rot and fail. Along with strut towers up front like other anon mentioned.

Pull the insulation from the hood. It was used to protect hood paint from engine heat and for sound deadening. Its fibreglass, not asbestos.

Replace the plastic clutch quadrant.
Its self-adjusting. The ratcheting teeth rot and strip, then you have no clutch.
Buy an aluminum one and a firewall adjuster and/or adjustable cable (both adjusters are good to use together).
Do not buy clutch cables from an auto parts store, or even ford. Get one from steeda or saleen.

Cirvinis has excellent fitting body parts.

Saleen used LX's.
Cobra used GT.
They're "interchangeable" to some extent, but not 100%.
Lx has a separate rubstrip (side molding), whereas gt is integral with the body kit.
Rubstrip also has a different profile- it visually looks slightly different so doesn't "line-up" if you mix the 2 styles.

91 went to a slightly larger front wheel opening in the fenders. You can use those fenders, but you'll need to change the plastic "fender extensions" that line up the new side profile with the updated 87 bumper.

I'll check back later if you have any specific questions.

I am not the guy that asked, but it would be pretty cool. I would like to do the same, really make this an automotive board more than a place to go apeshit over a GTR and a Corvette

>>16592037
Nah, has some good potential, easy to work on, parts are plentiful and cheap. You're just being a faggot.

>>16592667
yeah potential when you use aftermarket blocks $1,500 heads and $3.000 transmissions

do tell

its a 4.9L V8 that cant make 250whp with bolt ons its pathetic

>>16592792
lmao not making 400 to the crank for a grand from your junkyard engine. Don't tell me you can't compete with 3 hicks and a case of natty light.

>heads cam intake carb to make 400hp on a dyno
>not even street power
>not even street tested
>likely a ticking timebomb

not impressed

meanwhile a bolt on 5.3L will cost about the same and make 300whp through an automatic

>>16592828
>He can't compete with 3 hicks
>He thinks anyone is excited for a 5.3L
>He thinks there is any transmission but manual
Nobody said the 302 was the worlds greatest engine. It's capable of making in the mid 300s with a set of heads, cam, and headers. Honestly who cares? There is always something better. Especially when dealing with ancient technology.

I feel like /o/ is the dumping grounds for people who are super asspained that someone made fun of their car so they have to bench race shitpost about EVERYTHING.

>>16592857
damage control and shitposting

wowee

Here's a little tip for you: Higher resolution =/= better quality

>>16592864
Quit being autistic.

>>16579206
>No idea why the insulation that's on every car made in the last 30 years is there anyway.

Just fuck off. Your kind isn't welcome here

>>16592874
you know you couldnt win since the 302 is shit so you went full damage control

I think youre the one who needs to quit being autistic

>>16592869
I just snapped the pictures on my phone dude lol. I'm sorry that I couldn't get better ones I may use my GoPro if I do videos

>>16592901
You're right, you completely won. Stop being autistic.

>>16592962
Sorry, I was being kind of a dick, but after a couple years of high-res/low quality pictures I'm a little on edge. I just want to see the engine better lol

>>16592970
this is sad anon

>>16592989
I know, stop shitting up the thread. 302 is fine, its parts are cheap, it has potential, and just about anything you need for it is plentiful.

>>16592992
nah its a shit engine

you should learn that the world isnt your bubble where everyone will agree with you for no reason why should I sit by and let you spread false information some of us care about the community

youd think someone old enough to get on 4chan would know this

>>16593001
>you should learn that the world isnt your bubble where everyone will agree with you for no reason why should I sit by and let you spread false information some of us care about the community

/o/ truly has the highest shitposting. I don't even think I can find this level of irony on /pol/.

>>16589279
well if OP's engine ends up being fucked, its a direct replacement that has marginally better parts

>>16593413
Out of curiosity what parts would be considered worst case scenario? Outside of the engine being outright seized up of course

>>16593012
I wouldn't even dignify shitposting with a response. People will like, or dislike, what they please.

>>16593012
I will take that as a compliment I guess

reminder that something isnt shitposting just because you dont like it

>>16593639
>I will take that as a compliment I guess
Well you shouldn't. They were pointing out how ironic it is that you are telling someone not to sperg out about difference in opinion while simultaneously sperging about a difference in opinion.

>>16593724
except Im not

not my fault he got butthurt because he likes a bad engine and cant deal with the facts so has to literally sperg out and damage control

>>16593639
You're so far advance I can't tell if you're deliberately missing the irony of your 'tism fit and statement or willfully ignoring it.

>>16593799
Don't feed into it boss. Just let it be

>>16593799
learn to deal with basic facts already

you can label them whatever you want to since you cant imagine the world being against you but all I have done is post facts

>>16593744
>except Im not
You're literally doing it right now

>>16593842
nice argument

>>16593863
Same to you, sperglord :^)

Well.....glad that's over and done

>>16592411
Once again I fully plan on chronicling the process. Project: F/o/x is a go

>>16579401
How old usually?
