Lots of fitment/trimming takin the dash in an out a ton of times,not to mention the door panels ona fox DON'T fit with the dash at all,and the dash itself almost covers the door handle,and last but not least its ugly [patriot]

Agreed... I prefer the roominess of the dated Fox interior in a FOX over the swap, but thats just me.

But on the other hand how many sn95 swaps do u see out and about... Not many. Let him do the swap. Besides he's asking for help and info on how to install it or what he may need, not personal opinions on what it might look like. Anyways carry on.

I have never personally seen one besides on the net & mags.

Thats cool, what SiC9250 said, it will take a lot of trimming & fabrication, plus the door handles will most likely have to be moved I think because the corners of the Dash almost covers them.

MY personal opinion is after owning four 94+ stangs is, the interior is cramped compared to a Fox because of how bulky the dash & door panels are.

Carry on though & good luck.

Aaron hit me up if you get down on the swap.
I'd like to see it in person.

Good luck boys [patriot]

Ya, it's been done before. If you go to do it, expect a ton of custom work to be done.

Best part of sitting in my fox is the difference in interior, has a classic- old school feel to it lol, love how the door clunks when you close it. [patriot] [worship]
