I almost bought a project car like this back in 1993.

Man if i bought something like that and stuffed an LS1 in it it would really bug just about everybody I think.

 

I suppose if you just wanted to burn your money....

Pat

 

The ones that would really get the red *** would the die hard blue oval guys.

 

I have a Shelby Cobra kit car that has a 351, but I would love to **** people off and put an LS2 in it.

 

I can just see the mob forming now - complete with pitchforks, torches & axes..!

 

how 'bout a 351 W short block w/ LSx heads.

 

You have the car, a choice of 2 engines, an awesome garage, free help, you are waiting for ??? I say **** off the ford guys! LOL!!
I am going to pm you my contact info, when you are ready look me up.

 

Cylinder bore centers on the engines are different.

I'm a chevy guy through and through... but one of my current projects is an LS1 powered '69 Mustang. A friend of mine has wanted one since the first time he rode in my '02 Camaro.
It was a little weird at first, but it's also a nice change of pace from my personal projects. I say go for it! There will always be others that do appreciate it for what it is.

If you're really that worried about it, throw a set of SVO 42# injectors in it for arguments sake

 

they are not off that much, there is another thread here that goes into doing just that.....................

 

Ahhh... Looks like we'll be dumping an LS1/4L60 into a buddies '62 T-Bird, as well. Already cut the roof off of it, so what the hell. We'll park together at shows and fight off the hordes of PO'd Ford and Pontiac guys together.

LOL!

 

Who could get pissed off? Shelby shoved a ford engine into a british car in the first place. That wasn't original either! A good looking car and a reliable engine with (if stock) good gas mileage.

 

as someone born in 1984 i dont see how this is any different than my car, ls1 porsche, ls1 32 fords etc.....its another bastard swap to build a car you want?

 

Eh, it's more than a bastard swap. Do some research on this car and you will understand. A ultra-rare, ulra-fast (for it's time) factory built race car that is worth some big dough. It would cross the line because it's a piece of automotive history. In fact, I'm going to church to ask for forgiveness because I read this thread.

 

it's not a piece of anything, it's a clone..............................

 

I know this particular car is clone, I was referring the real version.

 

I still think a lsx powered 1970 Superbird clone would **** more people off.

 

ill just find the 32 ford out of american graffiti, and one of the original general lee's, and proceed to install 20b 3 rotor engines in all of them, with titanium straightpipes exiting out the center of the bumper, and sticking out about 1' behind the rear bumper.

 

if i ever win the lottery, im taking a new Z06 and a mk4 TT supra and switching engines.

i want riots.
