Modifying A 1981 Fox Body Cobra Mustang Into A Track-Capable Street Car – PN Builds



Project Sydewinder was a fan favorite so we’re re-visiting it…with a PN Build! Fox body Mustangs are highly prized and Ford fans will love this build! Building a track beast that pumps out over 600 horsepower with suspension upgrades, custom body mods and a patina finish is a tall order but the road course is calling!

  1. Nice project. I was wondering why going over all that suspension swap and not installing battle-boxes in the back? At that power-level the back end will rip itself outta the unibody. Experience talking… Either Kenny Brown or Steeda makes them. Maybe others, but don't trust them. Very mean outcome 🙂

  2. Crazy how much Foxbody prices have gotten. My sister-in-law sold hers for $900 8 years ago and it ran great it had the 5.0 HO 5 peed in it. She sold it without me knowing because it needed front-end work and the sunroof leak. I told her about the joys of living in the Rust Belt. But I was mad the car had so much potential and for that price she sold it for. I could have made it fast for a few grand.
