Default 95 Mustang 5.3 LM7+s475/TH400

Hello. My name is Egor I'm from Russia.
I always dreamed of a powerful American car and I always liked the Mustang.
After reading the forum, I was inspired to create a project Mustang LSx.
In Russia, we have this first such project, so I take all the information from you and hope for your help.
My goal is 600-700 HP with wheels and the ability to drive around the city.
My spec list:
Engine LM7 5.3 2004, insides Gen.4
- Stock Engine
- Oil pump mellings m295
- LS2 timing set
- LS9 gaskets
- BTR TURBO CHARGED STAGE 2 CAMSHAFT BRIAN TOOLEY RACING KIT
- 16-Performance Hydraulic Roller Lifters for GM LS7 LS2 LS1 LS3 12499225 HL124
- Summit Racing® Fabricated Intake Manifolds SUM-226120B-K
- ARP Rod Bolts
- ARP Head Studs
- Clevite main/rods bearings to clearance
- Total Seal CR Classic Race Piston Rings CR8794


Spec list will be gradually updated, there are already a lot of things bought and done a lot.

First I bought a broken 1995 Mustang with a 3.8 engine and a manual transmission. The cheapest broken Mustang in Russia cost $ 2000




The engine of 2004 LM7 5.3 with entrails Gene 4 was bought. The cost of the cheapest 1000 $ without the computer, wires, generator, starter, coils and intake.

The Assembly of the motor at full speed.














Pan of the engine had a little to reduce that he would not have protruded lower than the subframe of the car.

The choice of transmission.
Long thought between TH400 and 4L80 because to buy from US in Russia TH400 is a big difficulty. I would love to buy a ready-made TH400 for 800 forces, its cost is not so big in the US, but the cost of delivery to Russia is very large. For this I had to find a TH400 in Russia and 3 months later find for$300.



After studying how to strengthen the TH400, I began to buy spare parts for this.
- TH400 3L80 Turbo 400 Performance Transmission Master Kit Stage 4
- TransGo Performance Shift Kits 400-PRO
- Summit Racing® Nitrous Torque Converters SUM-700361
- 34 ELEMENT SPRAG



Hope I did everything right at the transmission. Council in Russia to obtain from anyone, no one does TH400.

Connected the engine and transmission. I used Advance Adapters LS Series Flexplate Adapter Kits 712500A. To install the engine I had to buy a subframe from a 4.6 engine.

Bought long Sonnax yoke for installation in a TH400 and driveshaft from a 2002 GT.
Does anyone know how much power the gimbal will withstand from GT 2002?
