Default norcal ls2 foxbody mustang build!!!!!

just got done building an ls2 notchback mustang... took me about a week to do. here are the video links and the link the photo album on my myspace page.it took me about a week to complete the swap and get it running on the road. i have a little over 7k into now but have alot more stuff to do to complete the car. i would like to thank all of the people with lsx foxbody swap threads for giving information. i helped me to complete my swap fast. i have tons of pics on my myspace page that will help with other peoples builds...

i didnt tear into the car until i had every part needed for the swap. i even had my master cylinder setup pre fabbed just by going off of people pics... i was gonna go with an auto because i thought the 6 speed setup would be difficult to do but i was actually the easiest part of the whole swap.

if its not as fast as i want it to be i might just have to put some juice on it. after coming from a 10.3 procharged camaro this doesent feel that fast... so nitrous in the future is more than likely

That thing is sick as hell.

I'm surprised there wasn't something that you forgot during the install. I always do that, then it takes me a lot longer to do something than I had planned.

Nice work!!!

That is awesome as hell. Pat yourself on the back for doing the swap so fast.
