Thinking about puting a ls1 into my 93 mustang?!?! Ok guys I'm a huge mustang fan, but you can't beat the power of an ls1. It doesn't take alot of money to make them fast as h3!!. So I have been thinking of dropping one in my stang.how much trouble is this gonna be? Not to worried about money. I with to be fast and different. Mostly different.... Just curious on what all its gonna take to do the swap? Wanting about 450 n/a rwhp... Its doable with the ls1.. Thanks for any input.
Mine is 80% complete, going through the wiring in the dash now. Engine harness is done. I went for the extra cubes, check out my photobucket, and pm me if you have any questions.
I went with a PSI harness and liek you i was intimidated.....lets just say that was one of the easiest parts of the entire swap.
I have been doing mine for about 3 months with a lot of down time waiting for parts and working out bugs like non fitting kooks headers and redoing my clutch master setup.

Mine has been off and on for a year. At first I was gathering parts and info. I also rebuilt the brakes, suspension, fuel system, changed the interior, and I did all the wiring myself. I happen to be an electrical guru and I wanted my harness a certain way.
the good thing is there are alot of people that are doing this. From just sticking a 5.3 in to twin turbo big motors. there is a lot of help out there.
Dont expect to have it done in a weekend, take your time and stick to a game plan.

There's at least five in my area not including mine.
Also to the OP, it took me about 5 month to complete my swap. Although I redid the entire brake system, upgraded to 5 lug, rebuilt the clutch packs in the diff., and swapped cams. That stuff added probably a month to my build time. I worked on the car only on the weekends but worked on it 12 hours a day. This is only wrench time. I probably put in another 3-6 hours a day looking up parts, info, specs, etc. Total time I have probably 350+ hours in the car. Most all the work minus stabbing the engine/trans was done by myself and I had a local shop fab my exhaust and a few minor things.
