Default 1986 dodge conquest project!!

I have a 86 conquest, I had four or five of these cars with modded g54b engine applications but never with a ls engine. If anyone could answer my question it would be greatly appriciated.


Can I modify the stock subfrane to mount the ls engine in with??
Can I get away without cutting out the firewall??


Thanks Cody

Cool Cool, Sooo I have a couple different options when it comes to engines. I have 6.0's all the way to old school small block chevys. Im thinking of going with the old school small block rather than the ls. It looks to be an easier swap!!!

Go LS instead. Leave the old tech behind and never look back.

What ever came of your build? Did you go with an LS swap?
