New guy with a Mustang and Trans Am Hey all, my name is Isaac and I have a 2001 Mustang GT, as well as a 1979 Tran Am. Hoping to gain some LS swap knowledge for the Trans Am because this 403 is a dog.
Heres the cars: Mustang
Nitrous set-up
Trans Am
Hope you guys enjoy them!

Definitely! Lol I think 2vs are some of the best sounding American V8s period. What cams and long tubes were you running on yours? My Mustang is gonna be on hold for a bit if I find a decent 5.3 for the trans am haha

I had BBK long tubes with a h-pipe, and a SSS Terminator catback. The cams were from Modular Head Shop, and were the stage 2's for the 99-04 Mustang. BTW, the car picked up great power on the juice (I was on a 100 shot) with the addition of the long tubes and cams. I was sitting almost right at 400 rwhp & 500 rwhp. Something to consider on your ride

Thank you! To be honest, I'm pretty versed in Mustangs but I have no clue what I'm looking for F-body wise lol I was thinking Hotchkis suspension for it but that'd be after the swap and all that necessary supporting stuff. When my plan gets closer to fruition I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions!

Thanks. I love this car. It's a Roush Stage 3. My first Ford/Mustang. I was thinking about a 2013 ZL1, but I can't get over that 5th gen design and interior. I don't like it. I tried to. LOL
Good luck man!
