The home for all modular-powered Foxbody Mustangs
Online since 2001, ModularFox.com has grown to be a community of hard-core fox-bodied Mustang enthusiasts seeking the latest in Ford engine technology - modular 4.6L and 5.4L engine swaps.
High revving, smooth broad torque-bands, and an all-aluminum version (the Cobra aluminum blocks) makes for a completely different animal powering your FoxBody. When Ford started installing these into their Crown Vics in 1991 (the 4.6 SOHC version), it convinced 11% of the police force in America to switch to Ford from other manufactures due to better gas mileage and a high level of dependency. Ford further enhanced this technology with their all-aluminum DOHC version in 1993 in the Lincoln Mark VIII that eventually got tweaked to become the 1996 Cobra Mustang standard power plant. The rest is history.
