bbf or lsx swap fox Hi. Im in the process of getting sll the psrts together for a bb fox build. I already have the 460, d0ve-c heads, swap kit with headers snd c6 trans. The thing is, I only have $1400 into it and I can sell all to make my money back. I have had a few people tell me to just do s ls series swap. I have been trying to find whats lll needed. I know motor, trans, k memder/mounts, computer. I have $4800 ss of right now to do it with. Can I pick some brains and get alittle help. Ive been sesrching but it seems I must be using the wrong wording cause I cant find direct answers. Also, I can get a easy 375-400whp with complete build of the 460 for roughly $4400. What kind of reliable power can be done with one of these?
A freind of mine biult a 514ci bbf and put it in his notchback Mustang and went 10,20 in the quarter mile on race gas.............i freshed up a ls7 motor and used the stock crank, rods, stock untouched heads, stock lifters, stock rocker arms, stock timing chain and gears and used .005 pistons and converted it to wet sump and put a carburater on it and front mount distributor....and mild hydrolic roller cam and on pump gas went 9.52 on motor.......my buddy was pissed......lol...........LS motors for the win and i`m now biulding another notchback with a stockish ls3 motor.....
Use a AJE k-member with there LS motor mounts and AJE trans cross member with Dynotech conversion headers...

you can get a harness from psi or ebay for 400-500. psi has the ecu also. you can get a ecu from ebay programmed with vats and etc deleted for around $100 with stock tuning. roughly 600 bucks and you have ecu, harness and sensors. shop around and you will be happy you went ls instead of ford.
i am running a walbro 255 with my setup. 6.0/ls6 heads/comp cam/42lb injector/ 92 mm tb/ ls2 intake

So I can just put a bigger pump in the tank and use my current lines?
Also, I want to run a auto trans.

I cant find a 6.0l anywhere local. The nearest isnabout a 45-60 min drive. They want $1100-1800 for the 6.0. That ranges from 80-200k+. Ive used car-part.com. is there any other sites I could use besides ebay?

The biggest advantage to the lsx platform is the plethora of interchangeable parts.
You can take a lq9 and put the ls3 top end on it, then put a healthy cam in it and make darn near 500rwhp CAM ONLY, with a stock ls3 intake! There was a fella locally that made close to that with almost that exact setup.
The tunalbility is another advantage, you can make the engine run perfect with little headache!
Then there is the ease of getting it running. $450-$525 for a harness (from us.) If you keep it simple and go drive by cable. Easy 4 wire hookup, hit the key, and listen to her run!
The advantage to this swap is that there have been several guys do this swap, so there is a ton of info and threads on this very swap.
