try telling that to all the hot rodders in the world. I don't know how many ford deuce coupes have 350's in them.MustangMan302 said:That is a waste of a good notch.Not to mention a disgrace to Mustang fans.If you guys love the LS1 so much then go buy a camaro or firebird.Ford engines go in Ford vehicles.And Chevy engines go in Chevy vehicles not that hard to understand.
manny said:ok some othere red neck with a mustang,let me gust you found a chevy motor that looked ingood shape so you bout it and had not chevy to put it in,so you turned on your fox you must like Dale Earnhardt sir. and jr. too.

Numbles said:Flame away brother.
What sets your mustang apart from the pack. A hoodstripe and cobra r's
HoodStrype said:Which one
Actually I dont have a car with a hood strype on it... unless you count the radio controlled car I chase the cat with... it's a Nikko. I was thinking about changing it's motor out with a Tyco.
mackey said:Stupidest comment so far.
Numbles, I think what you are doing is awesome. Get some videos when you get it done.
MustangMan302 said:stupidest comments so far huh?:Zip2:Why because i think Ford cars should only be powered by Ford engines.I mean you don't see chevy guys put Ford engines in Camaro's.Even if someone did every Chevy guy would call him a complete idiot.But when someone put's a chevy engine in a Mustang you guys like it?Why go through the trouble of swapping in an LS1 instead of building a 331/347or a 351W based engine.so much for loving the 5.0,Fords,or Mustangs all together you guys who like Numble's swap aren't true Ford or Mustang fans.

His car, his money, his time, he's the one that has to be seen driving it..would i do a project like this? More than likely...not...If you are a purist, DO NOT buy any performance parts from anyone other than FRPP!!
Props on having the balls to do this and post it on this site..:SNSign:
MustangMan302 said:Well aftermarket performence parts are ok because they are really just redesigned versions of Ford parts. And my opinion is just that Ford engines go in Ford's and so on.I think that if Numble's really wanted an LS1 powered car he should of bought a Camaro,'Vette,or Firebird instead of making a mixed breed notch.Like i said before if someone put a Ford engine in a Camaro every Chevy guy would dislike the car but it doesn't seem that way when a Ford guy makes a Chevy powered Mustang.
Numbles said:This is just because ford motors dont even compare to chevy motors $ for $ or stock for stock. No chevy guy in their right mind would put a 302 in their ls1 car because it would make them slower.
The whole point of this swap is getting a 6-speed, stock like drivability that would otherwise be a modified motored setup out of a 302. Lighter weight.
Other then being brand biased. the only point you mention is stroking out the motor or going to a 351. And even those type combinations are still lacking when it comes to performance on a budget. A stroked out 302 on a budget will only put down about 350-370 rwhp. That what an ls1 motor will do with just exhaust and a pully.
And the swap was cheaper then going turbo. Not to mention the dart block I would have to buy. And If I wanted an aluminum dart block to put me at about the same weight as the ls1 in the notch thats 4k before buying a rotating assembly or making your own turbo kit. If you really want to save money. But 2k if you go with the iron one.
No go open the lastest MMFF and count how many turbo stangs there are. All that money spend and alls you do is blend with all the other turbo stangs.
Im not flaming you buddy just making a point for arguments sake.
