How about a '66 AC Cobra replica with a C6 Z06 LS7 and a 6 speed?
It would probably be under 2500lbs and have 500hp to start...
If they can fit a 427 Ford big block under those hoods, why not a modern aluminum Chevy small block?
And I like the comment about a Chevy finally having a Ford engine under the hood...lol Has that ever happened? And what would be the purpose????

speaking of kit cars, a GT40 kit car with a genIII/genIV motor would kickass too. classic ford, chevy power.

Unit where you at?
Unit where you at?Magnacharger power output is limited by the blower size. So, it won't make more power on an LS7 compared to an 4.6L. It would probably even choke the 427ci LS7. My supercharged LS6 puts down 500 rwhp with only 8.5 lbs of boost. With a pulley change I might see 12 psi. Not much more than Cobras are getting with stock blowers (Both Eatons)
But, my 10.87 is already quicker than the quickest '03 Cobra running all-blower (no nitrous) and with the stock blower. Pretty sad considering I've only taken it to the track one time on slicks, and its a showcar

Go to ffcobra.com to see some LS1 powered Cobras. There are several there. I'm not aware of any LS1 powered GT40s, but I'm by no means an expert in the field. I do know that Factory Five's new GTM Mulsanne supercar kit uses a LS1 and C5 suspension.

I've been keeping my eye on that car for a year. Unfortunately it is not ready yet, but looking better everytime. Fortunately they will be done by the time I may have money to put one together. That car will rock. All I will need is a 402ci LSx or 427ci LS7 underhood, twin turbo and a couple pairs of new underware

I've been keeping tabs on the GTM also. I was playing the what if scenario also ... bigger block, blown etc. But then it occured to me. Mid engine, light car.. If it hooked up and the frame didnt prettzle, you would be pointing straight up. Now on a road course it might be a different story.
The blue oval FFR crowd seems pissed that its a chevy block, but not one persons bitches about the porsche transaxle.
Any idea what the trans TQ is capable of?

Some one pulled a jack move on my thread. J/K I posted it up because it was a crazy idea. Nine ball, you straightened me out, along with whoever mentioned the weight difference. I wasnt thinking about that. That GTM resembles the Jag XJ220 IMO.
So would it be worth putting a h/c LS6 with a T56 in a 2000 Mustang GT? I just traded my buddy my 95 Explorer for the Mustang. I would love to put a LS6 in it. If the car weighs more I wouldn't mind gutting it out either.

yea right you know how much you would have to hack that 7 up to get that wide *** motor in there. yo would even have to cut up a F body to get that big ****** in there too!

I'm thinking of putting a 6.0 and a TH350 in a super clean V6 mid 90's V6 mustang for the ultimate sleeper.
Header availability is really the only thing stopping me from going with this project.
And if you're doing heads and cam, start with an LS1 instead, it'll be much cheaper and end up with the same power.
