OK I know its not a ls1 thing but i have to ask..... I just got a 86 mustang lx coupe with a mild 302 that isnt all that healthy. if anybody knows me they know i had a pretty fast s10 (sig below) that i totaled. well i have the engine out of it, its a 385 sbc stroker. the body is real straight on this car and i got it for a real good deal, if this 302 doesnt last i have to put something in there. so has any one on here done a sbc into a fox body swap? i dont have a lot of money to spend on it so the swap has to be relatively cheap.

Don, why don't you sell the 385 and get a LS Platform engine ? Would be more practical for a daily driver than a carbed motor and surely much better MPG. 6.0/T-56 in that car would rip massive ***, hell put a turbo on it and your done.

The more and more I think about it.It seems like the Chevy powered foxbody is the way to go.I've thought about this for sometime and well I guess if my Coupe don't sell soon I might be lookin at a big inch LSX swap since its the thing to do
