Been lurking for a while, learning and what not, so now I need to buy stuff. Here is post # 1...49 to go!

So hello. My name is Joe. I'm from Albany NY and I'm a fox mustang guy. I have just finished a modular motor swap in my 86 coupe and I just picked up a 91 coupe and a 88 coupe. I've been trying to decide what to do with them and decided to go with a 5.3 which all of my research always brings me here. I just picked up a running motor over the weekend for $300. Not sure if I am going to stick with the EFI, or go with a carb yet.

Welcome Joe! Interesting swap you have there, a 5.3 in a fox body 'Stang, huh? Pretty interesting. Just curious why you decided to go LS vs. sticking with the 5.0 ford unit?

LS over 302 or 351 is an easy decision to me. To make over 300hp in a 302 or 351 is gonna cost a decent amount of $ where with just a simple cam change has potential to put the 5.3 over 300hp. So one will get an LS, and I will keep that along with the modular fox. The other roller I will throw a 302 I have laying around in it and sell it to fund this project.
