‘The Lochness’ Foxbody Mustang is a Coyote Boasting Beast
The
The past meets the present in the form of this Coyote V8 swapped 1988 Mustang Fox Body.
Street Shenanigans, a small shop in Antioch, Illinois, took the past’s aesthetics and the present’s technology to make the Lochness Fox Body. Nestled under the hood of a 1988 Ford Mustang is a Coyote V8 crate engine, directing 530 horsepower to the wheels, which depending on what motor it had before, could be almost five times the stock power. To get the car moving, a T56 Magnum six-speed transmission is mated to an Eaton Trutrac limited-slip differential.
That’s not the other thing Street Shenanigans carefully added to the vehicle, though. The intake manifold is fully customized, along with a split air intake setup. To make things a little more spicy, the shop carefully added an RGR top-end with ported heads and custom camshafts to fortify the powerhouse.
To compensate for the added power, Street Shenanigans made their own variable valve-timing delete. Handling all those horses are ARH long-tube headers, pushing all the dyno fumes out of a three-inch exhaust system. Bilstein shocks ensure that all that energy is properly absorbed, while Brembos all around promise safe braking.
The interior was also reworked to keep the driver safe, with all-new Corbeau bucket seats complete with a six-point restraint system. The rear seats were removed completely to reduce the weight, with a roll-bar taking up residence.
The exterior was painted by an independent shop in Wisconsin, that mixed and applied the custom paint color themselves, adding tasteful character to the mystical beast.
In total, a small shop in Illinois has created a loud, powerful, and incredibly beautiful Fox Body Mustang that’s worthy of worship. Check out Youtuber BrotherTom taking the Lochness for a spin, paying special attention to the speed and the orchestra coming from the tailpipes.
