If you're looking to make big power cheap, LS motor ftw. There's no doubt about it. With just a cam, pushrods, rod bolts, and valve springs you can make a conservative 750 on a bone stock engine with a bunch of boost.

As long as the ls is in the car to begin with if it's not then it's not so "cheap" if there is such a thing in the world of horsepower.

My cousin owned it before me. He paid $14,855.67 back in 03/14/1999. The car had 54,019 miles. The car was given to me for free in 2010 after he passed away. I sold my daily driven 1998 Volkswagen GTI VR6 for $5500 and used most of that money to get the Mustang repainted and road worthy again. Its got about 104,000 miles on it and counting. Its been my daily for the last 4 years.

I have to agree with Rich.

I don't hate the LS engine at all and would love to drop one in a nova BUT 99% of the people that come on here and stir up the LS drama never actually finish the project.
It becomes more of a troll fest as a posed to an actual build.

We have a really good LS swap in our build section, nobody gives the owner crap because its a legit build and they have other Ford powered stangs to dilute the anger :)

You have to expect some jokes coming your way but if you are doing a legit build, start a build thread and welcome to the site.

Ls1 vs 5.0 isnt really fair comparison
Id say a better comparison
Would be
ford 302 vs chevy 305
Ford 351w vs chevy 350
Ford 460 vs chevy 454
Ls vs mod motor

1. If it was that easy and badass, there would be a lot more running around, no?
2. Every year there is some guy that comes on SNF with some LS screen name like you to rile up the Mustang guys.
3. Project starts strong with a lot of shit talking about how bad the mod motors are, we're a bunch of haters, etc.
4. Project updates start to slow down, eventually project is scrapped, parts and car sold as roller.

If you build a purpose built race car, that's different. Because chances are it gets done if you're a racer. A street car, not so much. But either way you cut it, there are no shortcuts to HP no matter what motor you use.

Anyway, I paid for my car; $23K or so back in '98. And is this still 2003? I thought all the LS vs Mod stuff died a long time ago...

Shit I would hate to add up how much I have paid for that thing now. Hell my family bought it new in 94 and I the sticker showed a $20k price. 11 years later I got it from my folks for $5k. Then the motor went so I put a rebuilt one from jasper eng/tranny. Then the side exhaust/full exhaust. Heads/cam/intake. Wheels blah blah blah. Now add in the air ride, polished supercharger and freshly powdered engine parts waiting to go on as well as the new paint/carbon fiber hood/brakes.......

And for some reason I am looking at some really expensive wheels now as the old black bullits have aged. If it were not for my stock portfolio doing half way well I would say I am complete and total moron. As it stands I can stay I am a moron and will keep working on it till I get it perfect, still have plans for the car.........
