Has anyone ever done it? Is it possible? I'm sick of think about how much money is spent putting power adders on our cars and only getting N/A power of a LS1. What would it take to put a LS1 in a mustang? I just found out the other day that a camaro that I lost to (the only car I lost to) has a 424ci LS1 in it that is putting down anywhere from 500-600+ hp tp the wheels. You will never see that out of a mustang. It must be done and I know its wrong but it has to happen sooner or later!
chevy motors belong in chevys and ford motors in fords. why is it that so many people in here latley want too turn there car into a abortion
why not put in a 03-04 cobra motor. the cost will be less after all things are considered. and it will kill a LS-1 trust me it will cost THOUSANDS of dollars just too get that LS-1 or a regular 350 to work in a 96+ stang
this is not the 50's our cars have many modules that depend on inputs from other modules. all modules are tied into a network.. you will need too adress the pats issues. abs will be gone. so the whole brake system needs too be done. and not just buy new parts. i mean redesign the system. the abs module has too have inputs fromt he PCM. and your PCM will not be there on the network anymore.
some of your elctornics will not work because they are all controled by the GEM module. and the GEM will not be able too work in your chevy/ford setup. because there is no matching pcm too comunicate with.
the insturment cluster will not work. the ICM ( instrument cluster module) is the hub for the network. without the pcm and abs and gem. the instument cluster will not work properly.
you could do abortion motor swaps on the old fox bodys because they did not have module communication. for one all they had was a pcm. everything else was regular electronics.
i could go on for hours about how bad of a idea these swaps are. the best thing you can do is a 03-04 cobra swap. using a whole wrecked car, that way you have access too the whole harness and all the modules.
remember in a 03-04 cobra swap if you do that you will need atleast the PCM and ICM from the same car.
in case you did not read my whole post.
DO NOT TRY THIS SWAP.. YOU WILL CREATE A AWFULL MESS AND IT WILL COST MORE THN THE CAR IS WORTH TOO FIX IT.
