You gotta get some video and exhaust clips. Or maybe a few priceless moments of some other stang owners when they discover they just got walked by a Chevfordlet

My dilemma was a little different.. I bought a clean car thats been on the rise as a collector..
86 Monte Carlo SS.. The problem is its turd slow
so the decision was easy to GO LSX

Pretty sweet car/build! This is what I want to do to my Mustang but it's a vert so not really worth doing. Too bad, I've already got a brand new LS6 block and some other parts.

I have not really worked on it for the past few weeks. With my promotion at work and going from 4-10's to 5-8's really sucks... Since I have a 4 day weekend I may get everything done so that I can finally get the engine bay painted.

one question Very nice swap! Very clean work, thus far!
I am doing a similar swap (90 lx hatch with 6.0L single turbo) I had one question and that is where do you plan to mount your alternator and how?
I am losing all accessories (full drag car, tubular k member and flaming river manual rack) so I just need water pump and alt.
I have a stock LQ9 with harness and accessories out of an 03 escalade.
Any ideas? I havent got the AJE k member in yet (back ordered from Jegs) so I havent had a chance to play with things and mock it up yet.
Any input appreciated and like I said, CLEAN work!

Thanks for the comments, I have not messed with it for about a month now. My promotion at work has owned me, I have everything to finish the car. I just need to fab the radiator brackets and get it to the paint shop.

I thought about taking the built 6.0 out of my Camaro and putting in here but I think i'm going to like the car being quiet and faster. LOL

Am I the only one that's just a little bit jealous that you have a lift at your house? I mean, c'mon! lol
Aside, I love your car bud. It's going to be so nice once you're finished with it. I think we deserve several videos once it's completed.

Here are a few up-dated pictures with the radiator installed. I had a radiator for a F-body but it was a little to tall and hung down about 3" so I went ahead and ordered one from Griffin. It fits really good but it looks like my inner-cooler is a little crooked so I will have to get that straightened out.
This weekend I'm going to weld in a tubular radiator support and then the motor will be coming out. Hopefully Dustin will have time to paint the engine bay next week, while it is being painted I'm going to install the heads and cam. I have a few things left to order so hopefully I can get everything done over the Christmas holidays and get it to tuning in the early part of January.
