Fox Body Mustang - The Science Explained

The Fox Body Mustang set the template for all future Ford Mustangs. Today, Ford's V8 powered flagship pony car uses the same balance of fuel efficiency and power that the Foxbody set over 30 years ago. It was the muscle car that finally pulled Ford out of the hangover following the 70's oil crisis. All it took was space age computer technology, wind tunnels, and sticking a cat in the exhaust. With all of these things the Foxy body is Ford’s greatest underdog... underfox? UNDERFOX!

@ryanlarue31 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Donut, big fan here and an engineer myself. After watching half this video, I feel like I need to tell you guys you need to fact check your info you are sharing. First off, general motors designed and implemented sequential fuel injection first in the early 90s. Ford did not have the technology to do a sequential fuel injection until 1996. The EECV4 was not capable of handling eight independent injectors and timing eight independent cylinders for the correct amount of fuel as you guys stated in your video. The fuel injected 5.0L is a bank fire fuel injection system, meaning the left bank will fire all four injectors, then the right bank will fire all four injectors. For sequential fuel injection to work, you need high resolution tone rings on the cam and crank. You need to have references for each cylinder in order to meter fuel correctly to those cylinders. The 5.0L uses a 1 tooth ring for the camshaft (distributor) and no crankshaft sensor.

Since the customers had to wait inside while we detailed the cars, and we had a fairly long line that day, I got to drive it up and around to the detailing lane (since I was the only one who knew how to drive a manual). Honestly such a beautiful car and felt really great to drive, even if it was only for a few short moments. Asked her about it afterwards and she said she had owned it since new, but was about to sell it later that week. If it wasn't for the fact I was still in high school I'd have offered to buy it right there lol

My dad bought a 1985 Mustang GT because he was worried he couldn't tune the fuel injection... and to be fair for a long time he was right in the early days individuals really struggled with EFI cars. I actually think that it's mostly due to the import scene that computers and cars became a more common place thing and breathed new life into the old muscle cars.

Jeremiah you do an absolutely amazing job of explaining things down and simplifying things so everyone can understand them. Have you ever thought about taking apart and rebuilding a motor on camera. I think it would be a awesome opportunity for us and you to learn about different platforms and the similarlys/differences between different designs.

Got me reminiscing about my '93. It was my first car and my dad helped me swap in a 5.0 out of a t-bird. Mine was reef blue (I preferred it to the calypso green) but being the idiot teenager I was, I wrecked it and had to replace it with a white doghouse. The result was a color scheme that mirrored a box of Newport cigarettes almost perfectly. I genuinely loved that car

My favorite article from HotRod magazine was about a guy who wanted a fast fox body. So he went and pulled some turbos from some junk tractors and ran a 10s pass at a drag track. But then he couldn't run it anymore because he ran a 10s pass and the track told him never come back without a roll cage.

Two yrs after high school (attended a vo-tech in jersey), me & a couple of friends went to pay a visit on a few teachers. Our science teacher, who was awesome, was giving the class crap about taking notes when we came in. After a few minutes of listening to her kick butt, the smart asses we were, we started diagramming how to build a bomb on the blk board behind her. Wouldn't you know it, they started taking notes. When she saw that, she got the last laugh. She told them the notes better be good, they're getting tested on it at the end of the week. She did it to. Most of the passed, barely.
