2JZ swapped Fox-body Mustang

Wow so there really is something more gay than a LSX engine swap.

poor car.lol

ban after burner and kick over strypes trash can.

makes me feel even worse to know how I can't get my junk to run that fast

I'm with foxgt

Even if its something I personaly would never do, I cant complain about the end result. Mustangs are such a popular car for the track, having a set up no one else has is kind of cool.

I can't see the video from where I am, but it's only cool if it's in the 7s or better.

Just goes to show that anything can be built to go fast, so you should just build what isn't ghey. This dude was unsuccessful in that regard.

While I would never ever consider doing such a thing it is still kind of neat...

There was a first gen camaro, 67 I think in hot rod or car craft with a 2JZ swap. You should have seen the hate mail on that one.

I remember that one. Sweet, sweet justice for those Chevy boys. They all love bastardizing our Mustangs, but taint one of their cars and watch them cry foul. It's a double standard.

Not really much is needed to build a 2jz. In all honesty I love the sound of those engines... I love those last gen supras big time. A little weird to be in a mustang, but 10's? i'll take it. lol

I'm sorry, but I just gotta do this.

That car is different. In a sea of mustang after mustang it is refreshing to see a clean alternative to the same-assed 5.0 w/ add-ons go a 10. That combo wouldn't even garner my interest enough to look at it.
I used to Rant about keeping it all ford, and that there were plenty of other ford engines out there to make a swap really cool and worth looking closer at. AND I am about as FORD blue as they come. I used to hate the southern mentality of immediately pulling the 5.0 and stuffing in a small block chevy. (that is, if you wanna go fast according to the guy installing that engine) while I still hate to see the old LT small block chevy in a mustang, as an alternative, the LS series engines swaps are cool. LS-1's are all aluminum and they run and sound great!
If it's done nicely, AND if it's what you wanna do, I'm not gonna dog you for doing it.

Trust me on this. Speaking from experience:




This Chrysler Conquest is basically a Mitsubishi Starion. It had a twin turbocharged/Air-to-water intercooled 363 ford engine in it. I built it as a street car, but it was a little too radical to drive it there,...Made 800 HP.
and that intercooler was inside the car under the dash, and it would go from "ice water" cold to 180 degrees after one hard pull to 16 lbs of boost.
I belonged to another board where the rest of the owners ( of Conquests and Starions) were whiney-assed purists wanting to see either the anemic 4 cylinder turbo left in there, or at least keep it chrysler, and swap in a 340/360 instead of the SBF. Needless to say, I got a lukewarm reception from the import car crowd, (Who I couldn't stand anyway) and the american car guys, as they thought it was another warmed up ricer that I was trying to pass off as a mustang/camaro. No love from either corner.
This all goes to say this......the guy swapped in something else. I assume it's a clean install. It's fast. Its different. Good for him. His belly button doesn't have the same ford blue lint in it that everybody else has.
