Hydrolic clutch T56, driveshaft, K member, gauges, remounting of the trans cross brace, drivers LT headers would have to me modified I believe. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

isnt that a mustang sin :dontknow:

 

[1quk50]

yes but to of the best together make one really bad bitch...

The LS1 is much better than a 4.6 or a 5.0, whether it be a 2v or 4v.

I would definitely do it if I didn't have so much time/money into my sh!tty 4.6.

 

[Javi]

Do it!

LS1 and Mustang are meant for each other

I approve this swap :headbang: :thumbsup:

I found a LS6 block for 400 locally HMMMM

I DO NOT approve. Sorry, I had a 98 TA when they first came out, granted it was a 4l60e car but it was no faster than my PI swapped GT with bolt ons. It ran 14.2's. The GT I have now has never been to the track, but a recent venture to the street races netted me a door 2 door run with a full exhaust Mach 1 5 speed!! Im auto! The guy in the mach said his times were in the 13.30's.

 

[tekcisGT]

On another note, its hard to blame you when the V6 has most of us shivering in our shoes! Can u say, N20 and a new verter?? I knew you could!

Sorry man but i have seen stock LS motor engines pulling low 13's stock and that is with Auto's also. Dunno what you were doing.

 

[tekcisGT]

No way, low 13's with T56. I have LS1 friends, they dont get those numbers. Those times are about right, sorry. Maybe in winter months they could do better, I ran mid august, in TX

Not much different considering mine wasnt ram air. Im sure it may have done better in skilled hands, it was my one and only time to the track in that car before the 4l60e broke.

 

[sn95gtvert]

mmmmmm ls1....

i would rather see it go into a 3rd gen rx7 but i guess a sn95 could work.
my friends bone stock 98ls1 t56 camaro was pulling even if not a fender or two on my other friends
stock motor 5.0 5speed with 40k miles, a powerdyne pushing 6psi, drag radials and 4.10's

 

[98coop]

there's a mean silver one on the corral for sale. In think it runs tens if i remember right.
Put a 6.0 in it with a stupid cam lifting at like .750 or something and a carb. git er done lol

 

[2slo95fiveoh]

The LSx series engine is an awesome engine, and responds very well to mods such as cam, exhaust, etc. The one thing I don't like
about Ford is not developing the OHV engines like GM did.. but Ryclef is performing this swap, but I haven't seen an update from him in a while:

My friend has a 2002 WS6, bone stock with a 4l60e auto tranny. He runs consistent 13.0's all day long

Now he is, but every time we went to the track he ran 13.0's when he was bone stock

I've thought about putting an LS in my next project but my friends in my mustang club would castrate me.

LS1 is the lazy mans way of getting easy Horsepower. A real man stands behind his 4.6/5.0L and builds it to be faster than an LSx engine . And Javi, Ford didn't continue with Pushrods for at least 1 for sure reason, they didn't want to make them emissions legal so they dumped it. I'm glad they did too, the original 302 windsor block is from what, the 60s? Call me a young gun, but I would take a blown 4v or 3v over my HCI'd 302 just for smoothness. I like the feel of the modular engine, but I also love the old muscle car feel of my 5.0L . I put it this way, the OHV is old school fun, the OHC is a fun ride, but takes a bit more to get faster.
