ls1 ina 89 mustang???

Has anyone attempted to put a ls1 in a 89 mustang? The ford guys would probably not appricate a chevy under the hood?

What do you guys think?

Thanks Josh

Sounds interesting. You would probably need a chevy tranny, custom driveshaft and GM computer, along with some custom motor mounts, but it could be done

Wel thet56 will work in place of the t5. I'd have to machine motor mounts, and possibly a tanny bracket. Use camero headers then make custum exhaust to go to the h-pipe. and run the chevy computer. The only thing is the stock computer, might have to tap into the sotck wires so that the gauges and stuff works. I wonder if anyone has tried it?

Thanks for your input.

Somebody at my local dragstip runs a Chevy powered Mustang. You can tell because of the bowtie on the cowl. Just watch that front crossmember, the fox body Mustangs use a dual sump design and all of the small block Chevies are rear sump.

Thats a great point, I never thought of. So you would have to customize a oil pan and make it a front and rear sump (double hump oil pan). Do you know how the morot mounts of the sbc compare to the mounts on the sbf?

The reason why I am asking is to see if anyone would be interested in a ls1 conversion kit. We have just finished putting a 98 ls1 i na 93 318i bmw, and will be selling a conversion kit in the nexted few weeks. Just trying to test the car to see if any of the brackets need to be modified and so on. The car is amazing, and hooks up great. Have smoked 5.0's by lengths and c5 vettes by a car length and a half. The handling is amazing.

Thanks Josh
