[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

YALL I NEED SOMEFEED BACK ON PUTTING A LS1 IN MY MUSTANG!!!! HOW MUCH WORK AND HOW MUCH MONEY IT WOULD COST AND WHO WOULD HELP WITH THE SWAP!!!! I NEED SOME FEEDBACK ANY OPINIONS ARE WELCOMEED JUST DONT CALL ME DUMB FOR WANTING TO DO THIS ITS JUST I CAN HAVE THE POWER OF A LS1 WITH THE LOOKS OF A MUSTANG!!!!!

[4AGE]

well I would say about 8k for everything. so I wouldnt recommend it.

[rumblebox]

8k my ass. if you know where to shop for parts you can do it for 5kish. very well worth it.

[rumblebox]

why not just buy an F body?

[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

YEAH I KNOW ITS GONNA COST BUT JUST IMAGINE PULLING UP AT A STOP LILIGHT AND SOMEONE ASKING WHAT YOU GOT IN THERE AND I CAN SAY A LS1!!!! AND THEY WILL ALL BE LIKE THATS A CHEVY ENGINE AND I CAN BE LIKE I KNOW!!!! SORRY DIDNT KNOW CAP LOCKS WAS ON!!!!!

[b-wake-racing]

good luck, i have no comments

[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

why not just buy an F body?


i just dont realy like the look of f-bodies.... i just want a ls1 in my car i think it would be cool!!!!

[thatboyvic]

hmmmm why? sale it and ls1 a rx7. now thats pimp

[ebaker]

just find you a mustang that already has it done to it. i will look around for you

[b-wake-racing]

hmmmm why? sale it and ls1 a rx7. now thats pimp

i like 3 rotor swap better, i like to keep imports imports and americans american

[Flamestang is Deleted]

its even more fun when people ask you wat you got and you just look at them and laugh. MAkes them have to think. Or you could say wouldnt you like to find out. Then act like your gonna launch and take off slow. Ive been having alot of fun with this not street racing thing lately. As for the LS1 i think it will cost more than you got.....no offense. I wouldnt do it though.

[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

hmmmm why? sale it and ls1 a rx7. now thats pimp


i just dont like the rx7 i would get maybe a skyline or wrx with a ls1!!!


just find you a mustang that already has it done to it. i will look around for you i want to do it to my mustang cuz im already buying mine and like it !!!!

true but the rx7 is sexy to begin with then the sound of the ls1 starting up while your sitting in it.....damn

[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

yeah there was a guy with a rx7 that had a ls1 or a 350 im noy sure which one in it but lets just say nothing beat it on the road that i ever saw!!!!

[4AGE]

I know you could do it for less than 8k carlton you could probably do an automatic swap for about 5k. 6 speed would cost you about 8k for everything im talking the conversion and labor too not just the engine/tranny combo.

[rumblebox]

at least do something that's already RWD.

yeah but thats an old one... im talking the newer model

[4AGE]

carlton tranny coolers cost a whole 100 dollars or so, the cost difference is much greater for the manual tranny versus the auto tranny.

[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

yeah i would want to put a fully built auto in the car if i do the swap!!!! that would more than likeley be the best bet for me cuz im gonna build up the motor strong enough where im gonna need both hands to control the car i wont have the ablitity to shift cuz i will be holdin on!!!!!

[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

thatboycivic that would be cool i guess!!!!

[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

thanks kurt if i decide to do this will you help me build up the motor realy realy strong!!!!!

[98Aggie]

Sure

[SuperStallion]

ahah he says sure cause he knows its not gonna happen

[98Aggie]

Just need to know how much power you want. Stock motor with cam only can net you 420+rwhp.

[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

chase :stfu: dude you lie more than anybody i know eah you were gonna put a big block in your car then you were gonna get a nos kit and blow that motor up and werent you gonna trade your car for a mustang and wait now you have a mustang yeah chase i call bullshit on everything you say!!!! so :stfu: or :stfu: !!!!!

[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

im wanting to make like 650 to 700 on the bottle and like 575 on motor!!!its gonna be a slow process if i do decide to do it but eah im realy serious about doing this!!!!

[rumblebox]

carlton tranny coolers cost a whole 100 dollars or so, the cost difference is much greater for the manual tranny versus the auto tranny.

not really. stock for stock you can find them for about hte same price.... BUT building a 60E to hold up like a T56 would is a different story.

[ebaker]

just letting you know its going to take quite a bit of money to get that sort of power. but i will tell you like everyone told me when i was planning on doing twin turbos on that trans am i have. start off at a lower amount of power like say 350-400 and then slowly build your way up after you get used to the feel of that much power.

[SuperStallion]

ahha um ok yall were there when i called my causin about the big block all i ahve to do it pay for the headers the mustang is in my yard i didnt liek the mustang i was trading for it was nice thats all casey will even back em up on that i was gonna get that nos kit from 4age you can even ask him but the i found that mustang and hmmm for someone who tells EVERYONE that he has a nos kit in his car thats liek all you knwo about cars oh nos kit and stand alone fuel manegment hmmmm you even told me you got that from fast and the furious thats all you know shit from a stupid movie you dont even work on your own car o wait you dont knwo how you dont even have a licence to drive yours dont sit there and talk shit to me dude you ahev no room to say shit and delete that damn sig

or you could always go with a 4l80e or the th400.

[SuperStallion]

and im still doing the big block

[rumblebox]

im wanting to make like 650 to 700 on the bottle and like 575 on motor!!!its gonna be a slow process if i do decide to do it but eah im realy serious about doing this!!!!

first you need to learn how to handle the 200 rwhp you have. lol

[b-wake-racing]

good luck with all this 98stang..... your gonna be paying out the ass

[SuperStallion]

and thats another reason i got that mustang so i can have somthing to drive while its in alice

[98Aggie]

In order to have a 575 on motor your going to have to spend some money. Or make several compromise in order to go this on a 346ci motor.

A stock bottom end is good to about 600rwhp. I know this first hand.

[98STANGWITHTHEBANG]

yeah i know its gonna take money alot of money i dont plan o getting it done soon so its gonna take me a while to get it done!!! and rumble-bu i can handle my 200 but can you handle yours!!!! lol j/k

i actually have some secret plans at the moment that have nothing to do with a trans am. i am selling the roller that i bought a while back and just going to wait until i turn 25 or until i get enough money for a down payment on a trans am. i really dont know what i want to do at the moment. yall will possibly know about my secretive plans at the end of the month.

3 rotor swap, semi periforral port, 1600 cc injectors, dual 255 walboro pumps, 750cc intercooler, and BIG single turbo conversion.

no i wish i could afford that 69. its just a dream car of mine. i took that pic in fort worth when i was up there. the car i might possibly get is a little newer than that.

[jitsumania]

Wrong heart into the wrong body,lol. Between 6-8k (if you do the work) especially if you want a forged tranny to handle all that abuse. An ls1 crate engine may cost you from 4500 and up. Tranny about 1500 stock or 1500+ built for street /strip, not to mention conversion parts and fitament issues.
Buy and F body and be done with it. Spare yourself the headache!!!

the problem is i think f-bodies are ugly i like the looks of the mustang but i want the power of the camaro!!!!!

[oldcutlass86]

Well that's simple enough, build you a 393 stroker Windsor SBF and procharge it. I made 698 to the wheels @ 14psi and pump gas. You can get a built engine from DSS or CHP for about 7-8K. All you need then is a K-member for the older SBF and a different efi setup. On motor alone, you'd be at 450-470rwhp with a 393 no problem.

[ToyotaTechGeek]

or just build a big block with all the trimmings.

[Flamestang is Deleted]

or just build the motor you have in the car now since it runs fine. Procharger and some nitrous on a fully built 281 will run good.

[Internet Explorer]

Good luck with the build. It will be a pain in the ass. Basic things you will need. With some VERY rough prices.

1. K-member - $400
2. custom Motor mounts - $100
3. LS1 motor(complete, oil pan to intake, and front accessories) $3000
4. Tranny with stall - $1,500
5. custom Drive shaft to conect to the ford 8.8 rear - $160
6. Custom built wire harness for engine - $300
7. Headers that will clear the fire wall on the Stang -$400
8. A big sledge Hammer - $20
9. LS1 radiator - $300
10. Tranny linkage (auto or 6 speed) - $60
11. If 6 speed you will need a slave and master cylinder - $320
12. custom throttle linkage - $60
13. Custom built exhaust - $400
14. Fuel System - $1,600


Total of $8,620 not including $$$$--- LABOR ---$$$$

That is just the basics off the top of my head. Everyone knows that there is a lot more money needed to complete the job. I left a few things out but you can get an idea. Then you get into all the cutting and welding on the car to make clearance. Good luck it can be done. You just need a little cash$$.!!

[ebaker]

yet it was. the most expensive procharger will get you over 1000 to the rear wheels no problem. they are not really meant for the street though. i though about going with a procharger when i wanted to do the whole twin turbo thing in my car. turbos are better for the street than a super charger IMO.

[98Aggie]

Most LS1 making over 850rwhp go to a front mount turbo usually 88mm or bigger and get rid of the AC. More kits are coming out other than STS that will allow 850+rwhp and up to 1000+ with the right motor to retain AC.

So enough with the AC lets get back on topic. come on mods keep us on track.

interesting...the guy at a shop in houston(not sure which one it was a long time ago), told me that if i wanted a street car with that much power it would be better to have a turbo than a procharger. he said the procharger is constantly making boost whereas the turbo only makes boost when you get into it. im know genius in this field but thats what he told me. and i figured if he works at a shop that does alot of work on ls1's he knew what he was talking about. correct me if im wrong. we can start a different thread if you want. i would like to understand it fully.
