Meh to each their own. I have disagree with the dead body part tho. I mean if you needed a heart transplant and it came from a Chevy owner....better than not being alive. Oh what about the brain...megasquirt it
I mean an LS motor is just a glorified Windsor with EDIS anyways, heck if we had stock heads that flowed like stock LS heads. Then mod motors wouldn't of needed to be put in our cars in the first place.
I missed the part where transplant was necessary?
If it's destined for the track, I have no bones. That car is as good as dead already. Cheap and Fast is the prescription. Whatever parts are at your disposal can be tossed in with enough power to put it into the wall. No loss. Just don't try to tell me that the reason it was done was, "Er wanna beh differnt then all them other redneks". Same, different blender.
If however you bought the Mustang because well... Mustang; That's another story. In this story, we appreciate it because it's a Mustang. I like old luxury cars too (some) and I prefer that those come with their associated accouterments as well. Drop an (insert abomination here) into it and ceases (for me at least) to be Mustang. Here's the weird part: Dropping anything other than a Windsor in there doesn't really float my boat either although I can certainly appreciate a Coyote swap to some extent.
To re-iterate, I can certainly appreciate a project like tanner's. It's effort and attention to detail and hopefully, a stable and well running street monster when it's done. Is he building a Mustang? No more than your Gila Monster is Fairmont... Futura.... Fox... Ford.
Oh... and it needs machine guns.
It's probably more a soul kind of thing for me. I don't really like the thought of my dead body being used by a needful recipient either.
I said that way more 67-68 notches have been allowed to fail, sit, rot, and die simply because they are notches.
Oh cmon now Noobz...is this the ruffled feather version of you? It certainly was not my intention to do so, and I am sorry if I pushed a little too hard, my meds were probably wearing off, and I was a little more abrasive than my normal 36 grit. (I just sort of figured you could stand toe to toe with me when I'm on a rant).I still don't see the problem with dropping a Ford motor into this.
If I have an LS/LT lying around, I might consider a Nova or worse.
Honestly, you appear to have a lot more problem with NOT swapping the motor out than I do with folks that do.I don't just hang around your thread because of your charming personality. I hang around cuz I like the work you do/did/etc.. I have to admit that I like it even more because it was originally a Ford motor (it's cool if you like it for other reasons).
Were it my car (regardless of make) seriously, I can't think of an American car manufacturer that hasn't made a kick-ass motor at some point, for any car that I would want to drive.
I STILL want to do a high cube, high compression, solid lifter, EFI build in a small block (perhaps even a 351 block). Been done before? Oh hell yeah. By me? Nope... I've boosted everything my wife would let me put hands on.
Oh cmon now Noobz...is this the ruffled feather version of you?
All cars are fair game for a swap excepting those that garner "classic" status.
I On one hand, I would vehemently condemn that car if that was a FB, and it had a jap car motor,...But,..what else is fair game?
Is a Coyote ok? Eco boost?.....that Aussie Barra that I think is the sht?...They're all Ford engines after all.
I am pretty much a bleed Ford Blue guy, but I am also a realist. There is not a Ford automatic transmission made that can take the power and torque of a purpose built Glide. The Glide is lighter, stronger and consumes less HP than anything that can be done with a Ford trans.....without blowing up every third pass. Because of those reasons I was "forced" to build a Glide for the drag car. That being said, I stayed with "Ford" power for the rest of the build. And the Ford being bracketed by " " is because, truth be told, there is not one single part of my "Ford" engine built by, manufactured by or otherwise related to, outside of architecture, Ford. That being said, the Glide does not have single GM part in, on or around it either. But when you look under the hood, it sure looks like a SBF...outside of all the custom stuff with the supercharger going on that pretty much dominates the scene.Oh cmon now Noobz...is this the ruffled feather version of you?

I guess I've gotten past the " Blue bleeder" stage,...I care more about the diversity than conformity in this hobby,..
I don't require that the car be swapped to make it cool,..I just think that it goes w/ the hobby..Back in the day, more than a few ford flat head V8's found their way into non-ford bodies.....it's what you had to do if you expected to keep up.
I wouldn't touch this with an LS motor (or any other) either. hehe

Lol, you'll calm the natives with that news.Guess what everyone !! In one day I went from planning on using a 454 to start my build, to thinking about a 460, to just found a 460 and now my mustang will be Ford powered!

What might be your plans for the engine?
Yeah yeah,...and for every ford guy that makes a claim that an LS 7 head was inspired from a 351c4bbl head, there is another bunch of bow tie wearin goobers just itching to point out that a Cleveland head was a plagerized BBC head.
