Anything built for speed gets my respect. If a honda can click off a ten second 1/4, then its a job well done. Same goes for a bowtie swapped mustang. The work looks to have been done well, and she is fast and fun. Enjoy it.
10 sec. Hondas have Honda engines
If/Whenever I finally put a V8 in a Tacoma im not gonna go to Toyota Nation and post all about my Chevy/Ford V8 in my Toyota... It's not smart.

Congrats! I can and do appreciate your car. At the same time it is not something would do. In the end we are all car enthusiasts and build what makes up happy.
Thanks guys, yea i know there are a bunch of haters out there, I got the best of both worlds though. I cant take full credit for building the entire car because i bought it with the trans and motor already done. As you can see Ive been a member here since 2001 when i had a 5.0 .. lets put it this way, ive had a built 306 that cost me 5k, to run 12.9@110mph in a 89 GT. Fairly reliable though .. but power wise LOL its a joke when i compare it to a stock ls6. You can pick up a ls1 or 6 for 3000 or so depending on where u go. Dont need to do much to it honestly and it runs all over jus about everything. I drive my ls6 to the track run it, and drive it home. I have tunes to go up to a 200shot. so basically I have a 9 sec street car for under 8 grand. I love the foxes and only reason i post on here is cus i know there are people like me out there that love the look of the fox and how well it sets up. But want something different. My other car is a 04 Z06 (same motor) and thats why i wanted this setup. My Z is forsale and I am going to be building a T-Top twin turbo touring LSX fox.
But to do a conversion depends how much u want to put in the motor, and what headers you want .. trans ... wiring.. alot of different ways you can go with this.
I like it. I'd yank the 302 in my 93 in a second if I had all the stuff to do the swap.
There isn't anything that Ford has that can be bought cheap and run that hard. The LS series GM stuff is nasty.
You're wrong. LS motors are hard running motors, but the cheapest way? No. 130 mph traps shouldn't be a problem with 500 rwhp. That can be done with a 302W for much cheaper than an LS swap, especially considering you probably already have the motor and the computer, but I admit that you'd be running the possibility of splitting the block. A built 351 would be a better way to go. Start with a $100 junkyard block and pick your poison: n/a stroker, nitrous, blower, or turbo. The LS1 definitely has advantages over a motor like this, but cheaper isn't one of them.
