LSx into a S197

[SilentScope]

Id do a triton swap before an LS

 

[Lupo222]

Doesn't do your car justice Lupo...Sounds awesome in person!

As for the LS swap.....Find something worth spending all that cash on!

Thanks! That was before I had the aluminum flywheel and the supercharger. Revs fast as shit now!!

I'll let you guys know how well it runs in a month or so...

 

[tamatt27]

Putting the motor in a mustang is not going to make it faster, because you'll have the same weight

But you'll have 120+ more HP and about 100 more ft-lbs of torque...

I like the innovation! Looking good so far...way too technical for me lol.

What'd you use though to get that lighted look inside your hood?? I definetly would like to do something like that to use for shows and stuff.

Vs a stock GT yes!!! How much is it costing to swap everything I've though?

After I get it back from having the longtubes and custom exhaust made, I'll be around 3K-3500. I got the longblock for $350 though...

What about the all the computer equipment?

 

[assasinator]

your wrong.. full bolts ons, minus heads, ive seen over 500rwhp plenty of times with stock internals and over 700rwhp on supercharged ones with stock internals also. much past 700 though and they use meth and the ls3's seem to really like the meth injection. not praising ls motors but your facts are far fetched



not all g8's are the same. the g8 gt has a 6.0, which from my understanding is a mixture of ls2 block with ls3 heads and intake? something like that. the gxp has the ls3 if thats the one you were reffering to

well on camaro5 where they own the cars, they are pissed that they break so easily. and we have seen H/c/i coyote's pass 500rwhp.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

you have no point you are a chevy troll. nothing more. you are a lost puppy. and one with bad information. the block pukes lifters, rods and pistons at bolt on/ cammed strength in camaros and corvette at 500-600rwhp.



you havent seen anything. if you had, youd know all about L92 swapped LS2's. not "i guess".


the LS2 has 243 heads. they never had L92/LS3 heads from the factory.

now, with that said. if you wanna swap it, do it. its not 'superior' to a coyote, its just preference. there are limits that need to be observed, just like anything else.


it would be no different than putting a 572BBf into it. its just preference. if anyone thinks the swap is cheap or easy, they are on crack. it cant be about money to have the car the way you want it.

Tru dat!

To the OP, if you want a LS1 in your mustang because thats what you want, just go for it and make it happen. It can be very rewarding also if you do the work yourself. Just don't think you are actually going to save money doing it--there will be alot of stuff that comes up that you didn't count on, but nothing that time, patience, and money can't conquer.

Quoted for wisdom

exactly my point above.

OP - Paul did a unconventional swap, he knows the issues, listen.

No no the lighting in the hood scoop openings

That's a custom job I had done for the Knight Rider Festival.
The harness was made by PSI harness specifically for this application and it included a tuned ECM for $800. That, the trans, and the exhaust work were the biggest budget items.

Well I think I'm just gonna mount some LEDS in there and save a bunch of money lol.

I remember i was wanting to do a BB 460 swap like psfacer but fuel injected and a more streetable version, so i went down to John Kaases shop up in winder and i dont think i could have completed the whole project for less that 10k wouldnt of happened!

Not only that but the guy who helps them with the wiring was acting like trying to get a computer and wiring harness and all that jazz was goin to be a pain in getting it running alone so, i typed all that to say this , consider the cost and consider what exactly you want N/A or boost?

Thats why im glad im building the 408!

You're getting your information from one source...try LS1Tech or PerformanceTrucks.net and do some research there as well. Just because someone makes a statement defending the LSx motors, it doesn't mean they are a 'chevy troll. nothing more'...it means that you disagree with them, nothing more.

you havent seen anything. if you had, youd know all about L92 swapped LS2's. not "i guess".
the LS2 has 243 heads. they never had L92/LS3 heads from the factory..

Plenty of GTO owners have swapped to L92 heads and LS3 intakes because the rectangular port heads flow much better than the cathedral port 243's.

now, with that said. if you wanna swap it, do it. its not 'superior' to a coyote, its just preference. there are limits that need to be observed, just like anything else.

I agree with this post...it's about preference for me. I prefer the 6.2 LS3/L92 motors over the 4.6 3V...
I'm not on crack...this swap has been relatively easy with a minimal amount of custom work, other than the mounts and headers. The engine/trans fits in there perfectly.
