Why I went LS from a ford 302 or 351W in my fox
As a former ford only guy I am going LSX 6.0 Lq4 into my 1985 ford mustang hatch because of the following: for 750.00 (used wrecking yard motor) I got 364 cubes, aluminum water pump, 15 degree aluminum heads 317's that flow like twisted wedge ford aftermarket heads with 210 intake runners 2.00 intake valves 75 exhaust, aluminum deep dish truck pan, factory windage tray, 6 bolt mains, a block that will never crack no matter how much boost I throw at it (these blocks have been to 1800hp), factory gun drilled crank reliable to 1200 hp, factory crank fired ignition system with way less friction and timing slop (just add the MSD 6010 box for 300.00 and I have a crank fired digtial 7 type setup with built in 2 step and rev limiter, boost retard etc, factory truck coils that have been well over 1000 hp on boosted engines and have spark output equivelant to a a MSD after market coil, I simply add a good cam, valve springs, ARP rod bolts, free flowing cool air and exhaust and I have well over 400hp and 400 ft lbs of torque naturally aspirated (add factory L92 heads at 399.00 each and its 550hp) naturally aspirated. I bolt on my 550.00 S400 75MM turbo, cheap air to air intercooler, pump gas with meth injection, 93 lb injectors, Mega squirt fuel controller, built power glide tranny and stick this combo into my 2500 lb drag car roller with 3.73 gears and I have at least 800 to 900 flywheel hp with mid 5's in the 1/8th, and high 8's in the quarter at 15 to 18 lbs of boost.

After getting down tuning completely with the efi and MSD box, if I want to build this motor all I add are h beam forged rods and turbo forged pistons with aftermarket heads and I have a motor that will handle 1200 hp all day long. This puts me into low 5's in the 1/8th and low 8's in the quarter for a fraction of what it will cost me to build a ford 302 or 351W with a dart based block.

The cost of the dart block alone builds my whole LQ4 short block which is designed to have much lower friction throughout the motor, no distributor with resultant drag and mechanical timing slop not to mention all the extra money aftermarket distributor & ignition components, dart block, 2 step box, would cost me etc.

The LS motor is hands down WAY cheaper to build to go fast. Put it into the dirt cheap, aerodynamic, light with factory 4 link style drag friendly suspension, 8.8 stout light factory rear end, and rack & pinion front end fox body mustang and you have one hell of a cheap to build, wicked fast, awesome drag race car.

So for all you Chevy only or Ford only entire car purists consider this. When you see a funny car drag race, John Force in his mustang, and a Chevy guy in his camaro drag racing, look under the flipped up fiber glass body and you find a Hemi aftermarket block motor, with a Lenco trans and dana rear end. Not a damn thing on either car is Ford or Chevy. But the entire crowd is into rooting for Ford vs Chevy for their favored side.

Also look at all the Chevy guys with ford 9 inch rear ends, all the Mustang guys running power glides and turbo 400's etc.

Real drag racers have been mixing and matching all the best parts and bodies and motors in drag racing since the sport began in the 1950's.

Does anyone still not see the light???

Yea as does everybody else. Luckily I have time and space on my side. My good buddy has a garage to use and I'm trying to be smarter about the project, don't get it to a point where you either are waiting on big expensive shit or to where you can't move it. If I stick to those guidelines most the mods even the swap shouldn't impede to much on my sanity and the ability to keep and finish the car. Learned from my previous mistakes

So I tried to write down all the parts he listed in his post about his cheap LSX build. Here's a short thrown together list of parts and prices..... without shipping,tax or labor involved in building this so called cheap LSX build.
He left out pleanty of parts to complete the project...... But considering he's put a chevy motor in a Ford we can all assume he's not that bright anyways.
 -

Like I said a really quick list of the parts he listed in his build. It really starts to add up when you put it all together LOL.

something like an excel or google sheets spreadsheet that would auto-add the columns for you [Big Grin]

Well the LSX swap will probably need a smog hook up. I forgot to add Neights hook up charge into the list. [Embarrassed]

Yup, it can be done. They are junkyard motors for a reason...people go through them like crazy.


To each their own, but I'll stick with my Blue Oval.

When I tried to google lsx used motor prices, I couldn't find one for 750.00.....they were all well over a thousand bucks.

That's ducking expensive!!! But I'm doing everything up until the l92 heads so I'm way under that! Also I'm getting the motor tranny and wiring for 1500 team z k 360 and then whatever your list has that applied

I've never seen someone as undecisive as you lol and I thought I was bad haha. I vote stay ford powered or get a gm to do that swap with. It is your car though! Either way it would be a fun build not cheap by any means. I second the blasphemy comment.

Oh dude I'm horrible but I'm always looking for a good deal, low initial cost etc

You may, or may not save some money and make more, or less power....don't care.
But really to me, and many people who have heard a nice cammed, blown, and tuned mustang will say it's the best sound on 4 wheels!

Can't buy that mustang sound in an lsx.

You'd be better off buying an ls1 Camaro for $4-5k and be done with it.

Something i've learned is that you dont look for the cheapest way to build something. Youll end up paying 2x-3x as much as you initially spent and you might as well have just paid up front to begin with.

Damn that's well put.... But I've always tried to use what I already own. But I will say this, drove my cousins 03 zo6 and oh my god does that thing make you think twice. Stock for stock you can't really beat gm's late 90's products. As for sound like 9cobra7 said, 4 valve motors IMHO, are the only ford motors worth listening to. I've heard and had some nice foxes with very nice exhaust but 4 valves for sound are the best bar none

You may or may not some me but if you do, and let's say it was by a car or maybe 2, you did it with boost and not by much. If we tie, then your boost versus my na would break your heart, if I beat you, long shot but if I beat you, you'll be mad haha. If I lose by less than 2-3 cars in gonna put a cam in it and re-run it with you. Shit this is all sematics since I don't even know the specific motor I'm going through with. A cam only 6.0 might hold its own weight in a foxbody. But we will see mike. Your the 2nd buddy of mine to want a race when it's done. I'm taking all fades

Faster. Check out top 25 in the Drag Racing section, and remember that's on 18" roushes.

its gona cost ten grand to put a ls in your car, period. dont care what argument you got, thats what you'll pay if not more, awesome ending but, then if you cheat skate and try the im gona use what i got, then its rigged, and your gona have the same rigged problem you prob have now. or you could put 5 grand in your car with what you got now, just try not to use what you have laying around. actually plan and follow your build an you will end up with what you want.

swap mounts, or special k member, oil pan, headers, fuel system, trans mount, drive shaft, electrical harness, modding, exhaust, tuning,engine, transmission, hydraulic clutch conversion, for how much power? a hundred more than your 302? GET A BLOWER! DO ANYTHING TO YOUR 302 WITH HAVE THE MONEY.

^ Yeah the only way guys are doing these LS swap on the cheap are junkyard motors that will only last so long. Also like you said people don't add in the cost of all the conversion parts to complete the project.

Just stick with the SBF.

He left out pleanty of parts to complete the project...... But considering he's put a chevy motor in a Ford we can all assume he's not that bright anyways.


Like I said a really quick list of the parts he listed in his build. It really starts to add up when you put it all together LOL.

That's ducking expensive!!! But I'm doing everything up until the l92 heads so I'm way under that! Also I'm getting the motor tranny and wiring for 1500 team z k 360 and then whatever your list has that applied
When your done hit me up so I can smoke that shit lol. Good luck with build bro. Hope it don't fall apart on the engine stand

You may or may not some me but if you do, and let's say it was by a car or maybe 2, you did it with boost and not by much. If we tie, then your boost versus my na would break your heart, if I beat you, long shot but if I beat you, you'll be mad haha. If I lose by less than 2-3 cars in gonna put a cam in it and re-run it with you. Shit this is all sematics since I don't even know the specific motor I'm going through with. A cam only 6.0 might hold its own weight in a foxbody. But we will see mike. Your the 2nd buddy of mine to want a race when it's done. I'm taking all fades
Well IIRC stock LS swaps in foxes run like mid 12's and well Mike ain't close to that so I already see trouble.
Is mike faster or slower than 12?
Faster. Check out top 25 in the Drag Racing section, and remember that's on 18" roushes.

LoL, I'm just fucking with you my nigga that's a nice swap and will make great power. Although I think it's not going to be a cheap swap has you think it will be. Like they say you can make anything fast just take money broski.

Yea I got some side ventures going (check upcoming post) hopefully with some nice return I can get the ball rolling fairly quickly. Plan is to throw my 5 speed parts in the 79 coupe, sell the motor complete for a decent chunk with all the extra shit I have been buying. Send this butch off to paint and do the swap slowly. Fast doesn't come cheap or fast. I'll either fail or succeed but tucking my tail because of a challenge is what I will not do.

Im serious this clown is unrealistic, buys buckets and wants top doller for bullshit, his life is powered by hopes and dreams, i hate to be mean but the truth hurts sometimes and its not just me on this board that thinks the dude is making nothing but fails

though i do agree he buys junk and does ask for unrealistic/laughable prices, he seems like a decent dude with high aspirations, and attacking him on a level other then making some jokes isnt cool.
