Default How hard would this be?
So I own a 2000 WS6 as my sig says but I also still have my very first car. Its a mustang (fobra) V6, I mean I didnt put the badges and bumper on it, but I have invested a good chunk of change in it and that v6 has almost
180k on the odometer and Ive been contemplating puting a LS1 4L60 in it. How hard would this be and here is the car...

It's a very easy swap. I've done 4 SN95 swaps, and 2 s-10 swaps, and the mustang swap was alot better fit than the s-10 swap.
