Been on a lsx kick, I love fords but im no die hard get it tattooed on my arm kinda mentality. I love and respect anything that is engineered well and makes power. Chevy,mopar all have some Badass lookin cars and ugly ones too. I love the idea of swap cars, high revving high hp in lightweight cars. Thinking.my next comp will be a turbo ls somthing in my 67. Coupe or maybe I need to stop pulling coronas outs the fridge.

I think if you build an equal cubic inch sized small block Ford,with heads that flow equal to LSX heads(300+ cfm),you should attain the same results.There are other factors like aluminum block being lighter,rod angle,bore/stroke ratio, etc.But i would think it'd be close.Plus your Mustang buddies wont 86 you,lol.But to each his own.Just my .02 cents.

The termi motor is fun especially after I get it tuned Saturday. At AED. But man I know I will get.bored of it and it would be killer to run 400+ci ls motor with a snail and make sick hp on pump

Me and my boys get into this same discussion all the time. once u build a 347-8 inch sbf and put heads that will flow the same numbers a stock or mild ported ls head will the $$$$$ is such a huge differance

How many small block fords are putting 400+ rwhp on the street? Not many that arnt blown or radical n/a. How many f-bodys? All of them lol. They are cheap, light, and low profile. With a huge aftermarket for swapping. My neighbor has this tiny little MG from brittian or somthing and would be nasty with a 400+rwhp motor. I dunno.

lol i have 1.. it puts down 430whp on 8.5 to 1 comp and only a 20 over bore.. it dumb easy.. and it don't cost that much.. all you need is a good set of heads.. and i can't stand cross breeding cars.. every car company had good cars and great motors. there is no need to cross them up!

I'd say do it lsx motors are cheap and have great performance stock. Add l92 heads and cam and your at 500ish hp out of a 6.0.
Everyone is using them from rockcrawlers to street cars

Not saying its impossible or even hard. I had a nasty N/A 10-1 408w and a 12-1 410w I know what a sbf can do. But I could care less about cross breeding or if people like it. I think it's just as cool to put a diesel in a hot rod. If I knew how to do it from my phone I would link one of my favorite mustang builds. Its on pro-touring.com called the "$5000 mustang" one of the sickest most custom fastbacks I've seen. And with a ls7

Its funny alot of people are compairing built motors to STOCK lsx's. LMAO. No ford N/A factory motor can compare. WAKE UP!!!

Posted by 50DADDY (Member # 3076) on :
 
Chevy did a great job on those cylinder heads.That and cubic inches are the ONLY reason LSX's are better.So in order to compare you must compare aftermarket heads since ford didnt give us any that flow that well.Neither did Ford give us 340+ inch motors.No one said a stock ford motor is as good as an LSwhatever.Were just sayin a Ford can be built to be just as good as an LSX.And we dont wanna see another Stang guy become an arrogant douchebag LSX owner.The whole problem with LSX owners is that most of em are cocky assholes and act like theyre shit dont stink.They make snyde little remarks,and suddenly think they are demi-gods because they drive LSX's.It is fucking annoying and is the reason i will never give up and own one of those boat anchors.

And anyway,Fords new line of engines are rewriting the hierarchy of American v8's.
Now GM is gonna play the forced induction and catch up game.

I'm not one for crossbreeds... of any kind.

BTW, the new 6.2L in the Raptor is 380 cubic inches and makes great power for only a 2 valve engine. It makes more torque than the 6.2L LS3 and is right there on power... with almost a full point less compression.

+1, I'd be happy with either one. However, if I were to be throwing an LSX into something, it would be a forged LSX on boost.

Question for you guys, I know it's a truck motor but has anyone taken the a motor out of the new Raptor and thrown it into an old school?

Putting the 6.2 raptor motor would be cool but its way to big. The lsx is a very small package easly set way back in the car for good weight distribution. Plus it benifits from new designs. O-ring gaskets aluminum components ect.

it's this simple. if you can't make your chevy boat anchor fast, just buy a mustang and drop your brand x-motor in it. correct me if i'm wrong isn't a lsx a 7.0? and if it is compareing a 5.0 with crap heads to a 7.0 with good heads not very fair at all. why not compare a 351 with a set of good heads? but what do i know. i have a dumb simple 351w with 2.5 points of comp lower and still make more power..

Your focussing on ford vs chevy to much bud. I love fords and have no doubt they can make hp and last. This isn't just about drag racing and stripped down fox bodys with autos.... doesn't take rocket science to make that fast in the 1320. Warhorse I know you got a nice chunk of change in your "simple" combo. Dart block canfield heads ect 8k or higher if you bought all new. You could easly spend they same cash on any brand x and go just as fast if not faster in the same car.
400+rwhp are the norm for any ls motor with simple mode. For a streetable easy going drive across the country motor. Im a all around kinda of person. I want to get in fire it up drive anywhere do anything and make power and even get good mpg. Fact is how many mustangs on this board make the same power for the same $? Shit I think ls motors make so much power because they copied ford with the equal spacing port heads. Newer technolgy means more hp and longevity.

true i have a lot more than 8k in my motor.. but that doesn't take from the fact that it is a 351w with a 20 over bore. 8.5 to 1 comp.. i can take my heads(old ass 205cc canfields) and intake drop them on any 351w and make close to the same power.. you don't need a billet sonny bryant crank or custom je piston good for 1400hp to make the power i am. i can get stock 351w bottom end and make close to the same power. honestly i'd make more. since it would bump up my comp. my motor will drive anywhere i want it to on 87 pump gas. now it won't get as good of gas milage. but it's a carbed car.. if i wanted i'm sure i could get a lot more out of it if i went to efi.. but i don't care.. the reason lsx make more power from the factory is simple.. they have more cubes and way bigger heads.. and with the extras it takes to put a lsx in a ford you could easily get a set of heads and intake and make the same power as the lsx. i'm not saying the lsx isn't a good motor or doesn't make power.. or for that matter isn't a good swap for a older chevy car.. and if your set on it.. then go for it.. in the end it's your car, so do what you want to it.. it will just be a sad day for your ford if you do..

351-4v closed chamber heads bone stock will out flow most aftermarket aluminum heads. Like 300cfm at .600 on the intake and 180cfm on the exhaust at .600. Unfortunately Ford only made the Boss 351 one year which later became the 351HO for another year, but that engine was underrated at 330hp. The Boss 302 which had essentially the same heads made way more than the advertised 290hp. Here's some cool articles on how much power these engines with stock Cleveland heads really made.

Boss 351 vs LT1

Boss 302 vs z28

Posted by iceman302 (Member # 7180) on :
 
I'm one of the few open minded people on the board who have actually owned both. I've had a ton of pushrod Fords. I've had modular powered Fords. I've had multiple LS powered vehicles, one of them over 500hp with just bolt ons.

The fact is that both families have great engines capable of big power. Because of that, I don't see the point in spending the extra coin on the parts required to stick a brand X engine in a brand Y vehicle. I don't think a Chevy belongs in a Ford and I don't like seeing a Ford in a Chevy.

The reality is that a lot of people feel the same way and wouldn't share your enthusiasm for creating a crossbreed. In fact, you will devalue your car by doing so. You're creating a smaller market of potential buyers when you ultimately decide to sell the car.

Has nothing to do with my current motor. I love the modular motor I don't care about going fast right now as im still breaking in the motor, clutch and car. Big talk. Bud from somebody who has only had an iron headed e cam 306 you would shit your pants with 400rwhp fox.

Good im glad you finally make some hp. Maybe some more shit talking will actually motivate you to get your ass out there and work on your car. Instead of twiddling around with chin spoilers and fancy over flow bottles you should actually put a motor together.

Keep GM engines in GM products, this is a decent LS2 swap here.

LSX in any mustang platform is like a bankok ladyboy.

so what your telling me is, that comparing my build(because i have a dart block) isn't apples to apples. but comparing a 7.0 lsx all alumiun motor to a 5.0 iron headed motor is? gtfo with that shit. and if you want you can get a 351c for less than $500 with 2v heads add a turbo and still make 700-800hp. with a motor they stopped making in 76.. not to mention getting a 351c with 4v heads. but you ls guys never want to compare apples to apples.. that is why you don't even compare your motors to 351's you compare them to 302's..

ps.. my dart block doesn't make more power than a stock block.. but it will handle more!

When I say lsx im reffering to all ls motors not just the ls7. Ls motors are a huge bang for your buck and easly attainable. Unlike a one year motor so I don't so how that's a comparison. Not to mention you get fuel injection when swapping to a ls and cop ignition and a crank trigger style setup. Cam swaps are easier and manifold swaps aswell. If 351w swaps are so easy then let's get a count of 400rwhp 351w swapped daily driver mustangs are on here.... got my money on not to many.

Ps Also warhorse its been proven many times that a dart block can add as much as a 100hp on big hp. Cars from the strength of the block not twisting or distorting causing excessive friction.
