Project "Road Warrior"
The car that started it all! This was my car long before I envisioned Foxcast Media, and is the staple of the brand. When I got that car in 2010, it was essentially stock, but it was in great shape. Since starting Foxcast Media in 2015, it has been the subject of many tech articles and videos throughout the years. Almost famous best describes it, being at hundreds of races and shows all across the country,
Back in 2017 I had this crazy idea to be a pioneer in the coyote swap movement, which has since exploded. Together with my partner Jeremy Dover, we covered the entire swap process from start to finish on my YouTube channel. Not only that, but smoothing the engine bay, converting to five lug/four wheel disk brakes, Dakota Digital gauge cluster, suspension, and tons more.
Since the swap, project “Road Warrior” continues to evolve. In 2021 the car went to Hunt’s Body Shop in Michigan for a re-paint, and extensive body modifications! One of the most notable is the complete removal of the strut towers, inside the engine bay. This modification alone completely transformed the under-hood landscape.
Once the car arrived home in 2023, I did a complete interior conversion from gray to black. We also installed the 417Fox trim bezel in the dash, as well as the K Dezines rear seat delete.
Moving onto to the suspension, we installed the Ridetech front SLA suspension, which made deleting the strut towers possible. The SLA suspension was used in conjunction with the UPR K member.
Next up was the drivetrain! I wanted to really change things up, so we replaced the Gen I coyote, and Hanlon Motorsports TR3650, with a Gen III coyote, and 10R80 ten-speed automatic. To top all of this off, and make things really spicy; we finished it off with a Gen VI Whipple Supercharger.
