Just came across a 355 chevy motor and built trans for the great price of free. Just wondering if anybody would know of a place that selss motor mounts, headers trans mount, drive shaft, etc... that would make it possible to slip this into a 94-95 stang. I know it goes against Ford vs Chevy thing but fast is fast. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not to mention it makes alot more power than my stock 302.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I got that out of my system. You'll probably have to fab something up for the engine mounts, and I wouldn't even want to think about the wiring disaster. I'd personally avoid the headache of the swap and see if I could sell the Chevy stuff off to pick up Ford parts. It'll make life much easier, IMO.

It really isn't a daily driver motor, full manual trans, 3500 stall. If I decide to take the project on I would buy a painless wiring kit. Found some info on the net and it is not as hard as I thought just need more than basic engine and wiring knowledge. If anything I think I would sit on this motor until I come across a GM shell.

There was a member who put a LS1 motor into a fox body. You can do a search to find out what he used. He is a 94-95 member and it was posted in the 94-95 section. I want to say it was Numbles.

It is him.
