Mustang guy swapping in an LS
Hi all.
I recently picked up a very clean 04 Mustang GT roller.
My plan is to buy a truck or van and swap the entire engine bay over, trans as well. Thinking it'll be an LM7 but a LQ4 would be nice.
Ive done alot of research on here but I'm still confused if I should go gen 3 or gen 4.
I know gen 4 can handle a bit more power and better tuning capability, but i read the gen 3 is a easier swap by not having drive-by-wire and whatnot. I cant seem to find a positive answer when the gen 4 motor came in the trucks and vans.
I plan to add valve springs, replace the timing chain, oil pump, and a turbo cam. I want to drive the car a bit to fix any loose ends, then add some boost.
Thanks for any help.
