great thread. Im starting this conversion myself.

I have an LS3 block and will have the engine build complete by the end of the summer. Plan on using the AJE crossmember.

I will be using a lunati crank, eagle rods, Ross pistions, CNC L-92 heads, the new 102mm FAST intake and TB, solid roller, ..... probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 427 cubes.

shooting for 500rwhp on motor and a direct port kit for 200 or so.

if you use the fox power steering rack, get the DSE pressure reducer fitting. I hooked my ls1 PS pump to my stang rack and its got too much pressure. It feels very touchy on the street and wanders a little more than id like, plus now its leaking fluid

i'm looking at doing the same swap.
I have a 6.0 that i want to swap into a sn95.
I found a 97 v6 with a blown motor that i'm trying to get.
I want to keep the a/c just not sure how to make it work.
Also wanting to keep power steering, but I think the 97 i'm lookin at has a hydra boost set up...so idk.

P/S is easy, but the A/C is more complicated....

Anyone using the AJE K-member with lsx mounts and 351 swap headers? I read that the AJE with the 4.6 mounts sets the motor perfectly for these headers. Any info on this? I was thinking of doing a motor plate but I think I'll go ahead with the K-member so I can lose all that weight on the front.
