Default My LS1 Mustang build
Here is my current build. I picked up the LS1 pieces today!








Here is the car: 1986 Mustang convertible. It will have a full cage. The car is very clean. It will be white with a black top.

good luck on your build, don't forget some nice through the floor subframe connectors. The last chevy mustang build I did I just cut off those tranny crossmember tabs and bought a comp engineering kit for the trans, worked out great.

For sure! My buddy owns a chassis shop who will be doing the cage and frame ties.
