Super Clean Fox LS swap About a month ago I was going to start a beater mustang LS1 swap... The more I looked at that ugly *** car the more I just wanted to dig a hole in my backfield and bury it.
I found this super clean 92 Mustang GT that I will be putting in a 5.3 with twin turbo's. I picked up the 5.3 this afternoon and I already have the turbo kit which was bought for my Corvette. If I get some time this weekend i'm going to start instaling the motor, trans and mounting the twins. Once everything is done and fitted i'm going to pull the motor out to do the heads, cam and intake swap while the engine bay is being painted.
Here is a frw pictures of the Mustang when I brought it home. I have been getting the crap bashed out of me on other sites for putting a LS motor in this clean Mustang.

and at least its not a "four eye" car... people really hate when those get GM powerplants...
I don't see why ford people are pissed off... 5.0s are tough to make power on the stock bottom end on. LSX dumdumdum. (this coming from a mustang fan- I just happen to like 4.6s and LSXs better.

BAD CHAD: Awesome car to start your swap with!!
what do you consider hard? i've got 2 close friends that both take junkyard 5.0's slap some used heads, intake, header, exhaust on it and a used cam in it hit it with a 90shot with slicks and a 5g dump 11.4 lol. they've basically built their car for like 2g's including the price of the car. sohc 4.6's take alot more money to make fast than 5.0's. garbage imo. that stang is clean but im with whoever said they are notch fans i love me a notchback.

Here is a few pictures of the motor I picked up today... I don't know what the wife did with my Camera so I had to take these with my phone. I will get some better ones tomorrow.
My brother is going to come over tomorrow and we are going to take the nose and fenders off and hopefully get the motor inplace.

Thanks for the comments, it is a sick *** looking car.
I though my wife was going to make me sleep in the shop when I told her I bought the car. Now that she seen it I think she really likes it. I got offered 2k more than I aid for it and when I told her she said I better not sell it... LOL

dude, I have been a die hard Ford fan since I could walk. the LS is basically a Ford engine anyway, I mean Yates helped design the ******. I am putting one in my mustang.
clean car and cool setup. I can't wait to see it done.

BadChad...Uhhhhh....can I have the mustang you are tired of looking at? If it is ugly, I will take it off of your hands and you will never see it again.
By the way, what is the big deal with sticking these engines in mustangs? Is it because GM has the largest pile of crap interrior ever?

Love the car, super clean, will make a great ride when done. What brand of TT kit is that? You'll have to keep us updated how it all works. I've got a '93 Notchback i plan to stick either a 5.3 or 6.0 in it, and i had a dream last night about doing a twin turbo setup. lol.
