6.0/Th350 Mustang going back together...again
Hello! I thought I would post a few pics and updates . As most of you know, I was running a LS1 and a T56 at the beginning of the year in my little coupe. I have since sold/traded both the motor and trans.
What I'm working on now is a 2002 LQ4 6.0 with a set of L92 heads, L76 intake with a Texas Speed 233/239 cam. I went ahead and stuck a set of ARP rod bolts in it, ported LS6 oil pump,LS2 timing chain and a set of Comp 918 springs while I had it apart.
This time around I will be running a William Cook built Th350 with a Redneck 4000 stall. I was kinda tossing the Turbo idea around for a while, but I believe I'm just going to stick it together like it is.
Anyway, here are a few pics of the motor I took last night.
btw, whats your .02 on the Ford blue? The only reason I did it was to **** the die hard Ford guys off.
These freakin intake ports are a monster.......

Yep, those are Greg Welds. I only have the fronts so far. If/when I sell those new Bullitts I just bought,(or you donate ) I will be buying the rears and another set of DR's. I would go ahead and buy a set, but this Memphis trip next week is costing me an arm and a ******** .....and I'm not taking a car..lol
I was able to get the valve train on tonight . I need a set of intake bolts if anyone has some laying around.

i assume the gold color rockers are used.
its gonna run hard with a th350, but im not so sure on the cam profile for your motor and that ls3/l76 bottleneck intake.
have you considered a cam with longer exhaust duration and a gmpp single plane intake with a spacer? plenty of room under the hood of a mustang even with a 90* i would assume

The operating range of this cam is 1900-6500 rpm's. Which falls under the nose dive that the intake takes above 6500+. For an off the shelf cam it favors the exhaust a pretty good bit. 233 vs. 239.
Yeah, I did think about the GMPP intake and 90* elbow setup. From what I have been reading ,on a NA motor the carb intake and elbow setup has not been all that great either. Well, the sheet metal elbows that is. I have not seen anyone running the Edelbrock 90* yet. Plus I got this intake setup at a VERY good price.
As far as the flexplate goes, I have not made my mind up yet.

I finally got the 6.0 set down in the car today. I had to do some major work on the trans cross member. The th350 trans mount is about 6" forward of the T56 mount. I would have probably been ok using a stock 5.0 cross member, but I had to cut out the mounts on the frame off to make room for my exhaust.
Anyway, here are a couple pics....dont mind the dirty engine bay.Its dusty as hell from sitting so long.

I hope to have it done by Thanksgiving . I would be happy with 425ish at the wheels. Thats going through a th350 with a 4k stall.....
I ordered my shifter, lokar dip stick and trans cooler yesterday . Minus some small stuff, that should be everything I need. I also picked up my next project...lol I bought a 95 S-10 ext cab truck. If I can keep it long enough I plan on putting a cam only 5.3 or 6.0 in it.

Djquik, your first build was my inspiration to go get a car and start the swap. Just wanted you to know that. Picked up a 84 capri t-top roller and started the resto and 87-93 conversion but now car has sat for 3 months cause I lost my house to wife in divorce.
I also lost all my cash i had saved up for my drivetrian to the attorney..bummer
Thanks for all the detailed swap info, pics, and build tips.
