motor setup is sick, just wish it was going into an oldschool GM, but atleast its gonna be another fast LSx powered car.

If they wanted to put an LSX in a Mustang, they could've at least used a Fox body notchback or something.

the body would have cost as much as a newer v6, and the newer ones are easier to find

lol, you don't think you could've found a 4cyl notchback for less than $10K or so?

Only wierd thing I noticed was they first say its a "Mustang GT" then they drop the V6 out the bottom...

Reason they used a new one is simple, why would they first of all feature a junky fox body LSX swap on tv? Secondly, its going to make the shop look a lot better, not to mention a better shop car for publicity into a new style mustang.

Why didn't they just use one of ford's aluminum 351 racing blocks they can be bored out to 4.125 and stroked to 4 at least stick with your own parts.

I think there was a thread on this car a while back. I wonder if they are close to being done with it now. I did notice the v6 getting dropped out of it also.. so much for the GT
