Official Fox Body Intake Swap Thread

[texasdogman]

No i want to keep it with the fox intake and throttle body I just want to get every thing hooked up right so it will run smooth and also get the throttle cable hooked up right. right now the gas pedal goes to the floor way to easy I need to get it bolted up right and add a spring or smoething to it.

[texasdogman]

I guess my act is the black plug they drilled the hole in the silver intake tube for? The tps is the little black deal on the top of the throttle body with the wire harness right. it looks like they already spliced it. I just have to figure out what the blue hose and the black hose connected together are and where they should be connected. i am going to add a fox egr spacer.

I know this probably isn't looked highly on, but I have a full Fox throttlebody (including MAF/IAC/TPS) all painted and spiffy looking in the classifieds section if someone is looking to swap.

This thread has been up on stangnet for awhile and is step by step with pictures and great instructions on how to do it.

I bought the Trick Flow 75 MM Elbow adaptor for my Trick Flow R intake. I have enough going on with the car this spring/summer to do a Fox set up swap. It does look good though.

Ok, so if i was to run a track heat intake without the elbow, i would need a Fox TB? Why couldnt i use a 94-95 TB? i have the elbow i got from a friend but the fox type setup looks cleaner.  Im also running with no EGR

The bolt pattern is close enough to not notice, but there is a difference. Not by much apparently because one of the members on here has a 94-95 Throttle body on an intake (Edelbrock RPM?) with no elbow he just drilled the holes out a little.

To be honest I would either use the elbow or just switch.

[95 svt cobra]

ah i see.  Well i might try and just bolt it up anyways like that to see if it will fit, i still havent gotten my TB yet and my elbow is still at my house in MO so if it dont fit then ill just do the elbow probably

[95 svt cobra]

yup it wont fit, so now i gotta get the elbow mailed to me and wait it out until she gets here.

i have a trick flow set up on my 95 want to trade t.b and el i have 75 tb and tfs el.also if you have 89/93 comp we can trade that also

anyone know if the V6 throttle cable will work?

[5.0wned]

Not sure if the V6 one will work. I have switched back to the 94/95 style though so if you want to get a fox cable and bracket I still have mine for pretty cheap. Just let me know.

[blownsn95cobra]

i did the 86-93 intake swap on my 94 cobra and do any of you know for the tb and egr what color wires go to what on both of them i have them on but just wanna make sure its right

[blownsn95cobra]

i have a 94 cobra i converted to 86-93 holly systemax upper lower intake and bbk 75m throttle body now i changed my my 2 sensors over as well but does any one know what color wires go to what?

I think I might have a potential issue at bay...

I want to know if using a 93 Cobra intake (upper and lower) and the fox TB setup....will this clear a stock Gt strut brace? What about the Maximum Motorsports strut brace??

If not, then Im gonna have to get another intake...?!?!? Id like to run a strut brace, its not an option (in my books) to run with out one.

[5.0wned]

It won't clear the stock GT brace. You can either get one off a cobra or get an aftermarket one. Not sure about the MM brace, I would check with them. I have ran 2 years now without that brace and can't tell any difference. I know I should have it on there but Im not the only one who has never had problems just ditching it. Good luck.

[SN95.ohh]

If you switch to a fox set up does it remove the cruise control??

According to the 1st post, You can keep cruise control if you use the fox cruise control cable.

Just to update this:
MY INTAKE setup: 93 Cobra upper (and lower), with a MAC 70mm Throttle Body, modified to fit 86-88 speed density Inlet tube, modified to fit stock air box with K&N air filter.

We all know by now that of course the stock Mustang GT strut brace doesnt work with any aftermarket intake manifold on our 94/95 5.0s.

However, the Maximum Motorsports STB, did NOT work for me either! There were a couple of issues. The MAIN issue was there is no room between the STB bar and the Throttle body (93 Cobra Upper, remember this upper intake has the EGR spacer built in), as the throttle body is now pushed further out, so no room for the inlet tube.

The second issue (if I remember right) with the MM STB was, since I am also using 5L Foxbody aluminum valve covers, the front bar of the STB was right over the oil fill hole.

MY SOLUTION: I ended up buying a used FRPP strut tower brace. Clearance between the oil fill tube is tight but there is enough room to remove the oil fill cap and put a funnel there to fill oil. It also clears the fox TB setup, only having to modify the inlet tube slightly (86-88 Foxbody 5.0L speed density inlet tube).
