Lol put an LS motor in there...
Is there any street application where the ls?'s aren't suited for?

I should note I plan on putting an LS1 in my 79.

Maro, GTFO. Just go. I vote for a banning.

Kidding buddy! Congrats!

Nope. Do one better an put a new 5.0 in it. I despise mixing brands with swaps.

Maybe Non-PI(94-98) SN95s, but a well driven New Edge should beat your car, especially if it's modded.

They really aren't that slow. 99-04 GTs can run a 14 flat, so they should easily be in the low 13s modded. Plus, they sound fantastic.

The slugs were the 94-98 models. They mostly run high 14s, low 15s stock.

My firends 01 ran 13.9@102 i think with just a K&N cold air. Everyone has to remember these cars were only around 3200 pounds so it takes MUCH LESS power to get them moving well than a new Camaro.

Agreed 100%, I can't stand mixing powertrains EXCEPT like a Nissan 240 or RX7 with an LS swap, and that is only OK because their respective manufacturers lack decent V8s for those swaps

Srsly tho the new 5.0 would cost a FORTUNE.

You could build a KILLER LSx motor for about $5k. Buy yourself an LQ9 from a scrap yard for about $1200, cam only, ls6 intake, LTs... drop it in.. you'll have a mustang that's actually powerful then.

with the reduced weight the mustang has it'd be pretty quick too.

Yeah, those 2-valves have a great sound to them. My cousin had an 02 with a blower, 4.10s, and a few other mods. I saw it run a 12.2 at a crappy track.

Lol.

I't is a shame that your wimpy LS1 just doesn't hold a candle. You should consider trading up to a car with more balls. Of course that is if you are old enough to drive.

....and you have a car that won't pass emissions/inspection, no A/C, etc.... Pretty worthless as a street car.

6K you can have a 5.0 crate motor with 0 miles on it. I am sure now that after 2 years of being on the streets, there are a few used examples to be had for less. The upside is you are starting with 375RWHP and it only goes up from there. ALOT more potential with the 5.0.
