Coming over to the "dark side" (half way anyways!) Looking to do an LS1 in a 2001 GT. I have seen pullouts go for around $1500. They include motor, tranny, ecu, and wiring harness. What all is needed to do the swap. Thanks for the help in advance!

Which would be easier and cheaper?
Has anybody ever done the swap in this style mustang? I know they have in the fox bodies. If anyone knows of a write-up on it that would be great too

Similar swap.
Carbs are tricky to tune correctly despite what people say if you've never really gotten into it before. If you get a full take out the EFI will be cheaper. You will already have a tank that will work, just get a better fuel pump. I've been considering swapping to EFI. I got my engine origionally all with the EFI stuff sold all that and went carbed. It's really not any cheaper. I've spent about $700 on my carburetor getting it right, MSD box was $330 intake was about $300, dual wideband set was about $430.
If you go with EFI you can get a mail order tune and have it be pretty damn dead on. Like within 5wrhp or so.
