Factory Five MKIII Roadster Kit



Uses all parts from a Fox body stang. Suposedly if you have a Fox Mustang, you have all the parts you need to comlete their kit and have a 427 Cobra Replica.

This one is my favorite. :worship: :worship: :worship:

 

If I could afford 13k for one of thier kits, I would do it in a heartbeat. Those cars, even with a n/a 302 are just nasty fast. One day I WILL have one.

 

Yeah their sick fast alright!!!


Here's some performance figures from the site.


Factory Five MKIII Performance Stats

 

I'd never rip my fox apart to build one of those....they're nice don't get me wrong. But I like my fox better

 

My dad bought ours to do that to and I convinced him to not since he could have the fox to have fun it and then buy a better engine and rearend for a cobra kit.

 

i definately wouldnt rip apart any car i owned just for the MKIII. its a nice car, but i would have to wait until i had a powertrain form another car to use instead. if i did have the opportunity to build an MKIII with another fox, though, id be happy to do so.

 

I would have to say that as nice as the MKIII is, I would have a hard time cutting up a completely good car. If I had a car that was hit, needed a motor, or some thing like that, I wouldn't think twice about building one.

 

Or a 302 Cobra Replica at least. Yeah, I've considered doing this many times, one of those things you just have to get around to.
Wouldn't sacrifice an existing car but would pick up something up cheap as a donor vehicle.

 

I wouldnt cut up a fox to do so, i'd just buy the required suspension pieces and such (kenny brown Sn95 5 lug suspension, terminator brakes, 408w stroker, T-56, etc.)

 

Sweet car but I would never cut my girl up for this.....she's never done anything to me......

 

If I was serious about doing that kit I would look for a cheaper fox without an engine and use it as a donor for all the other parts, i.e. suspension etc. Then I figure if you are investing $13k in a kit why drop an old engine it in. I would purchase a new crate engine and trans. You could get a donor fox for the suspension etc for around $1000 or less if you shop around.

 

Would I cut up a working car for that? No. Would I buy an engine to put in one of those? In a heartbeat. Sweet-looking and -driving cars. I'd love to have one. But I'd try to find a true 427 to drop in it as opposed to the 302. If you're going to do it, might as well go all the way.

 

FRPP sells 427's, along with roush

 

The thing is with those cars is, you dont need a 427, it is really over kill. They dont get traction for crap, a 302 with just a head, cam, and intake swap will have them boiling the tires off. With a 427 traction would never be obtained without serious race tires

 

 

paul senior of OCC has one with a 427 and a 4spd and he melted the tires all the way down the street from a 40mph roll and he has HUGE tires, they're shoved up into the fenders big time, Look:

 

I would go this route too. No reason to cut up a good all around car for a weekend toy

 

I dont know why you would waste your time putting your suspension from your fox onto that beautiful car. Thats retarted. :l

 

Only if it was wrecked (which mine was), but, just for the short block and EFI components. Actually got an info kit/brochure from them - if I had enough time, money, and the space, I'd do it. Would prefer the Coupe version though. Never would cut up a car in decent shape.
