This is my buddy's 86 Mustang hatch. Stock bottom end 5.3 motor with stock LS6 heads, mild cam, carb conversion, and a small nitrous plate kit. Here's a video of a few test passes followed by a small money grudge race against a 3rd gen camaro with an SBC on spray.

He's definitely happy with it. It still needs some tuning, but it's running good.

This is the 2nd LS powered fox we've had and I love how these motors run in a mustang. There's absolutely no reason why guys should be spending money to build stock block 302 based motors when they can grab a junkyard 5.3, do a cam, carb, and spray...and go way faster for way less money.

A typical Ford 331/347 bottom end alone costs more than this 5.3 carb to pan.

Looks like that thing moves out, how big is the shot with the small plate he is running? What et and mph does it run?

He grudge races the car here and there, no et's or mph's to post up. Sorry.

The shot is smaller than you'd likely guess.

May I ask what's the susp setup?

AJE tubular chevy crossmember and a-arms up front, and I forget what is in back: stock style springs, basic shocks, and nothing special for control arms...I don't even think they're spherical bushings.

what kind of trans setup?

would you say closer to 100 or more than 100 shot lol ?,i agree a ls in a fox body is a solid setup, and they run like hell.if i ever find a clean notch for a decent price lol ,i will build one for sure.

Just a budget th400 setup. No trans brake, manual valve body. Decent converter, nothing special.
