bah that's bullshit people like that can suck a nut lol. If you want to swap in a Lt1 that's cool. Yeah there is a guy on here who did a swap and he has a site as well, damn I'll try to look it up. Also look in the conversion section on here.

It shouldnt be too bad. The most difficult part should be fabricating the motor mounts.

Of course people say that. LT1's are "slow" and "obsolete," which is why my friends with a 100 shot and a comp 306 cam hit low 11's... I think its funny, b/c my "slow and obsolete LT1" has and will continue to rape many ls1's

They sell after market K members for SBC swaps in to fox bodies. Wiring isnt a big deal, plenty of people sell after market harness' to simplify the swap. You may have to go custom on the headers.

I believe it'll also be TH400 with a 4.30 Ford 8.8 with moser axles. It's Z284thgen's project. Should be Painted and moving in a few months is the last word i've gotten. He's going to make sure it makes it to the SVT & Ford weekend here in Tulsa, Ok this summer.I wanna see what they say with the find out it's a SBC.....LMFAO ROTF

Me and a bud of mine put a 350 into a 94 Stang. TPI FBody manifolds is what he uses for all his swaps, especially for S10s. We made everything else ourselves. Uses the factory everything that we could. Which includes the rack and pinion, tranny mount, and pretty much everything else.

Everything went in easy except the steering... We had to make a 4 or 5 knuckle shaft to the rack and pinion that snaked all over. Other than all of that crap, that Mustang never went faster!

Well, too bad you can't run quiet exhaust then :\ Since the sound it'll make is already a dead giveaway that it's not a Ford heart beating under that hood.
