Default My Mustang with a LS3
As many know, I was going to put my turbo motor in the Blue Mustang but I decided to make Her into a nice street car. I ditched the ford **** and put this Cam only LS1 in her today. I have several things to do to finish it up but it should be completed in a few weeks.

Im going to re-do the transmission mount so that it is removeable but for the time being it will work.

Here are a few pictures from today. Yes I'm going to get the A/C Working...

Today is the only day I have worked on it. My brother and I started on it at 8:00am and finished around 5:00. We had to swap cams and put everything together...

I'm going to have the drive shaft built on Monday and finish a few things tomorrow. Hopefully it will be fired up by next weekend

What headers are those? Any fitment issues on the headers? Everything looks great!

They are Kooks, The fit perfectly. They slide in and out with ease from the bottom side. Just have to remove the steering shaft.
