I am new to this site and posting stuff, also to the whole LS swap thing so Opinions are needed. I decided I would start a Thread on my budget project that I've been working on. It's an 01 Mustang GT that I've had for a couple of years. I started the swap after the 4.6 2valve in it kept messing up. I sold all the 2v engine and trans stuff and bought a junkyard 5.3 I already had the Th350 from an S-10 project that I sold. I've got most of the major things to put it together I just lack exhaust, wiring it up which I've already bought a PSI harness, and finish hooking everything else up like fuel system and some odd and end things

Aje k member and mounts. I ran a new fuel line from the tank to the rail. Used the vette filter regulator where the stock filter was. Ran the return back into the tank.

I have the Granatelli k-member, it was put in when it had the 4.6 in it still, I made my own adapter plates to bolt the motor to the 4.6 mounts. I'm running the truck intake and all to begin with so I'm just gonna run the regulator on the fuel rails until I change the intake. I'm gonna try to find some new camaro manifolds to run on it cause I'm thinking about slapping a turbo on it and don't see any need in spending 6-700 dollars on headers if I decide to go turbo

Hello how you doing
I have the Granatelli k-member, it was put in when it had the 4.6 in it still, I made my own adapter plates to bolt the motor to the 4.6 mounts. I'm running the truck intake and all to begin with so I'm just gonna run the regulator on the fuel rails until I change the intake. I'm gonna try to find some new camaro manifolds to run on it cause I'm thinking about slapping a turbo on it and don't see any need in spending 6-700 dollars on headers if I decide to go turbo
