Hey everyone, I was wondering if it was possible to be able to put my 383 stroker engine in my 5.0 I have the engine sitting in my garage that I pulled out of my 95 Formula. Is this possible? Does anyone on here known someone that has done it sucessfuly? If you could any helpful advice would be much help. And no not the advice saying put it in a chevy.

Guy around here has one with a 502 and a glide. But he set the engine back 8 inches and cut the firewall out.

its been done, imo sell the 383 and build a 347 with the money if you want a stroker. an LS has no place in a fox.

Don't listen to the ignorant haters. You have a great engine there that would be sick in a notch. An lt1 is along the lines of a classic sbc, and there have been many of those swaps done, and I don't believe it's too hard. The lt1 has a low intake that will fit great under the stock hood. I'll post a link to the guy that did it with an ls1, but I believe that's more complicated than your lt1.

booooo. put a ford in your ford. Why not just buy some beater camaro and put in in there. Or better yet put it in some import and smoke everyone who thinks their mustang or camaro has it all. You just can't put a chevy in a ford or a ford in a chevy its not right. Thats like putting a dlck on a woman or a cooter on a man
i dunno man, i would sell it and build a ford stroker. just doesnt make sense to mix and match like that. I m not saying those engines can t be fast but just remember you have made things twice as hard now cuz you can t just go to the parts store and say i have a 19xx mustang and i need a xxxxx part.
Thanks for the imput and help. I would love to build a 331 stroker or a 347. The thing is I am in college and 1 do not have the money to front to build the engine and 2 do not have the time. I already have the 383 built sitting in my garage. I would not stay fuel injected for wireing harness and computer. I would go carburated and keep it easy and simple. Anyone have a list or idea of the parts needed? I have a Tremec TKO behind my 5.0 now. I was told there was an adaptor that will make it able to bolt to the LT1...Anyone know if that is true? Also do I need a custom K member built or can I just re weld the engine mounts? Thanks.
how do you have the time to build an 383 stroker mustang , building includes making it fit, gettin custom parts, ect ect. it will take more time and hassle to do something that doestn just go together, then it would to drop someting in thats direct. Why not just sell it for 2000 or so and buy an already built mustang engine, all you would have to do is swap engines. done deal no bull **** to deal with

Me and a couple of guys that I race with are talking about buying a 78-81 malibu and stuffing a A4 block 342 with some twisted wedges and a vortech x trim just to piss off the chevy crowd..Let the crying began
So you'll spend over $10k on the motor alone, then put what, an aod or a t5 behind it? Or a GM glide or th400? Then you'll come across another malibu with a simple cam/intake big block and a bottle that the guy built for about $3k and you'll get raped up the ass. Then they'll laugh at you for wasting your time and money. I don't see anyone getting pissed. I know if I saw it done I'd laugh.

Are you serious..
First of all its parts we all have laying around and a big block and a bottle is nothing to be scared of plus around here we cant get a race to save our life. Every chevy guy I've met says mustangs aint $H!T but when you ask them to race they need spots....
And just so you know we don't play around....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvQmCodpVaQ

Alright, if you have the parts laying around that's one thing. I exaggerated some, but I just don't see spending what would probably be 3 times the money to make it go fast with a sbf rather than a bbc like most guys do with those cars. Either way, '78-'81 Malibus are badass Let's not start a chevy vs. ford battle or anything. We'll leave it at that coupe is ****in sick! Whose car is it? Specs? #s?
