I’d gladly trade a V8 Holden ute for a 5.0 Fox Body, tell ya what.

Down here in Oztrayleeah, I’ve literally seen one Fox body in my entire life.

We can LALD-exchange this, just with full-sized cars. You find a clean V8 or turbo-6 ute and I’ll find an equal-condition Fox!

/not really serious although I do love me a turbo Barra-engined Ford Ute.

Psh, deal. I’ll buy a Fox Body and set sail from Vancouver. You buy a Ute and set sail from Australia and we’ll meet and trade.

It’s a fair trade but be very careful what you wish for...

parts for a 5.0 would be a bitch to find down here that’s for sure
not like the US where you can get any piece of sheet metal, screw, bolt, airfreighted overnight XD

I have no idea what a LALD exchange is but yes, I’d love a Fox.

Born in early 90s and somehow, with FD RX7s and R34s and even S13s difficult to attain, I’m now into late 80s through early 90s esoterica.

LaLD is part of Kinja for users who’re into die-cast/toy cars. They have an exchange program where people will trade cars for others they’re unable to find in their own areas.

I’ll take a super pursuit or vz maloo. So do you want a 5.0 or LS swapped fox body?

I want to be rich purely so I can take adventures like this. Hawaii would be stunning this time of year.

oooooh. I’d have to go the five-oh, it’d take me a few years to get to block splitting power numbers anyway. can always LS swap it later. or, oh my god - imagine a barra turbo Fox. That’d be so dope.

Turbo-barra in a Fox body would be awesome!

They had a turbo four fox as well as the 5.0. What a barra fit under the hood of a fox body or is it too long? You can always cut the firewall though. lol

The Thunderbird Turbo Coupe right? Saw that on RCR, was awesome.

I honestly have no idea if a Barra would fit! You’re probably right, you’d want to cut the firewall to maintain some semblance of handling.

No, my buddy had a Mustang. He used the ecu out of the t bird. He embarrassed a lot of new Mustang GTs at the drag strip with it.
