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

bringing back an old thread. going to look at a 95 GT tomorrow, was going to go for a fox swap but SN95 is my cup of tea over a fox for some reason and they are cheaper to come across. Will update if i purchase

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....

I just had a custom pressure hose built at a hyd. shop. It was like 30-40 bucks. So easy a caveman could do it.

read back through this entire thread, there are bits and pieces on custom sold AC brackets and Sanden Compressors to make it all work properly

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.
