Chevy engine in a Stang?!?!

[69-B2]

I'm not sure if the guy is on here, but on a local forum some guy has a LS whatever swapped into his fox coupe. What are your guys thought on this?

i have a friend that has a ls1 in his fox body. that sucka hit 11s. now i want one. ls1 flow pattern is a little better.

I remember him. I have no problems with people doing that. Built Ford tough with Chevy stuff.

How does this qualify as tech?

It doesn't.

What does that even mean?

I have a problem with that. Have some brand loyalty, please. I think it just bastardizes the car. I'd rather admire a fast F-Body with a LS motor in it. And the few guys who put Ford engines in Chevys aren't any better.

Yea i agree. Keep a Ford in a Ford. A built small block ford will run like a raped ape. This guy I know has a 347 that revs to 7400 like no other. Smoothest sounding engine I've ever heard. He sprays something like a 125 shot and goes 10.3@135ish. My buddy is building an 86 with a 355 SBC and thinks its going to be the fastest thing on earth just because its gonna have a chevy engine in it.

I personally sold two 6.0L Chevrolet engines to a shop who put them into a notchback. When I delivered the second motor, I saw the first engine I sold them in the car

It ran and everything. He had a tubular K-frame with custom mounts he fabbed up. I guess it was cool, but I'd rather see a Ford motor of some sort....5.0L, 5.8L, 4.6L whatever...anything like that.

stupid

why would anyone put a crappy Chevy engine in a Stang when you can get as much or more power out of a Ford engine ,it would be a better idea to put a Ford engine in a Corvette.

Fords are better

not true the mustangs are beating the crap out of the Chevy's in IHRA prostock,airflow through the heads is paramount on those huge mountain motors.

I refuse to feed the trolls. that being said LS1 FTMFW!!!!

A LS1 in a Stang? Never heard of it Didnt think thoes engines fit anything other then a GM.

LS motors are pretty badass, I'm not disputing that. I just hate when people mix breeds.

How old are you?? This looks like something a 10 year old would say. Fords rule and chevys drule!!


I've seen several foxes like this and I think it's a perfect idea. I wish I had the time and place to do mine. Lets see, a lightweight high revving aluminum small block that will make over 400rwhp with nothing but a cam swap and exhaust. They get 25mpg around town in a 3800lb camaro, imagine in a 2800lb notch. I've seen ls1s with the t56 behind them for sale for less than $2k. If you can do a little math that's a 10 second car (with suspension obviously) with a cheap, basically stock engine that will get 30mpg on the highway... Yeah, you guys are right, what a terrible combination....

As far as mixing breeds, eh who the **** cares. If it's fast for cheap it's bad ass.

The engine seems to go in anything

I'll be impressed when you find it in a go-kart. Or at least one of them little smart car pos.

Haha, expect talk like that in any thread like this. BTW, its "drool".

Why not just build a stripped down F-Body? Those are cheap too, these days. Or an old S10? Those things can be lightweight, too. Mid eighties Monte Carlo? 2-door Malibu? I just don't understand why a Chevy guy would cross brand lines when so many GM products would be cool with a LS motor.

Why a Ford guy would do it I have NO idea.

Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda, and BMW all have their own V8s. Maybe not as cheap or fast as a LS, but IMHO would be a more unique and respectful swap.

Does Mazda have its own V8? I don't know.

...Or at least one of them little smart car pos.

Haha, but where would the driver sit?
