Not sure abotu a swap kit, but I'd check with the guys at BMR about a K-member that'll letyou drop that FE motor right into the Fox. Might have to do some notching of the strut towers, but that's not hard. If a drag racer can stuff a 460 in one, an FE is no problem.

I was just on the web site for AJE and they have a front k-member that accepts a big block for the fox and the SN95 platforms. As soon as I saw that the first thing I thought of was putting an FE in my 94. I also have an old FE engine. A 390. These are great engines and have a sound all there own. And They where used in Cobra's and look at what that thing can do. As far as I know the front part of the fox body and the SN95 are pretty close to the same. The MOD mottor in the 96-98 mustangs are huge. An FE is smaller in size than the FE and the MOD motors fit perfect in the 96-98 cars. An all iron FE only weighs about 25 lbs more than a mod motor. The 5.0 I think weighs in the 400 lbs range. So an aluminum headed and intake FE should weigh pretty close to the same as a 5.0. I am going to call AJE on Monday to see if the FE would bolt to there K-member. I think it would be great to do it.

Ment to say the FE is smaller in size than the MOD motor.
