Welcome to the dark side! I'm sure you will surprise many with that set up. I have a friend who just transplanted a LS1 out of a 1999 trans am into his 1995 mustang Cobra, it was a lot of work but he did it, took him some time but he seems pretty happy with the way car runs, he's adding N2O for an added fun factor.

I love seeing the ford owners put a Ls1 in their stuff. Makes me laugh a little bit.
