did a search on here and coolcats.net, but got nothing. how about the dash harness? will it plug in with the body harness? ie. lights, wiper motor, etc.?
I think its been done, but not sure who did it...
I heard of it being tried here on the forum,but none of the harness worked,and I think the project was sped due to the true hassle involved.
Sadly it does fit. And I've noticed that a 88 4cyl dash harness has very similar connectors on the firewall as my 88 cougar.
I know MMFF put a mustang dash in granada. Not sure how they did the wiring but I remember them doing it for one of the wrighters cars. That was a while bacl.
I remember that issue.The car had 10 holes on it,and they did some upgrade to it every issue for a few months.I probably have it in a box somewhere in the garage.
Ive been wanting to put an 87-93 dash in the fairmont.
You like Fox mustang dashes? I personally think it's a downgrade.
I was just trying to help. I think the mustang dash looks kinda cheap compared to the t-bird one. But everyone has a right ot like what they like. I was saying that I do believe that the fox dashes are interchangealbe as far as I know.
Well its easier to get a 140 speedo for a mustang than a tbird.
And ive seen it done.
i was actually referring about the 79-86 mustang dashes, but those should fit the same as 87-93 dashes.
Actually.with the Mustang dash,you would have many options as far as gauges,aftermarket parts,etc.It's not a bad looking dash at all.Parts are MUCH more plentiful also.
i just put a 95 mustang dash in my 88 5.0 bird. i did it because the options are limitless to guages and toys. it was a son of a b#$ch to mount and wire but i had a buddy who was a pro at wiring. all i had to do is get the diagrams for both vehicles and we made it work. by spring ill post pics of everything.
Noo.... By tomorrow you will post pictures of everthing.
x 2
would look better if he could have decided between opal gray and titanium gray. not both! :grinno:
I agree *grabs bat* :beatyoass:
I personaly don't like the fox stang dash, looks like a puppiesanese car inside. Now the sn95 dash... I will do that swap sometime soon.
I Need To See Pictures !!!
I think the older Fox Mustang dash would look awesome inside a four-eye Cougar Thunderbird.
I'm talking about the ones with the "allen screw plate" design and red illumination. Pre-'87, maybe?
sorry for not giving pics but they will be up in spring. i know it sounds py but the car is getting a complete custom job and im not giving any details of my project sorry again! let me tell ya its a tough and expensive car to get parts for good luck with your projects
ICK!!!!!
The Mustang dash (79-86) is one of the reasons I don't like my Z7 all that much. The 87-93 dashes are worse......
:iagree: I think the SN-95 dashes look better in the newer Tbirds/Cougars. The "dual-pod" design just seems to "work" with the interior, I know it's something I'm going to do eventually..just for the better gauges alone...nevermind the looks.
I think the 79-86 dash may not look too bad in an 81-83 Bird or Cougar, then again, I've not seen one in those cars...:dunce:
80-82 ;)
And NO....it would not look better in one of those either. I like the set-up in my 80 XR-7. Less gauges? Yes...but that can be remedied....without resorting to A-pilar pods and other like that.
Compared to ANY TBird/Cougar dash, the Fox Mustang stuff looks low-rent.
LOL, i'm slippin'...I knew I shoulda bought that '81 at the JY this summer...:beatyoass: Wonder if he still has it...:pbb:
Yeah..think I do have to not liking the Stang dashes so much...been looking at pics of 'em for a bit now..they do look kind of, well, 70's...
hahhaahah! :iagree: at 150mph!!!:grinno:
I also don't like the Fox Mustang dash. But the SN95 has a nice dash, I'd consider putting one in my cat but I would be worried about seat position and knee clearance.
