OK, I gotta jump in here....do it if you want, but you will run into tons of compatibility problems...and expensive ones.

1BAD...you are way off on weight specs.

Straight off of a spec sheet:

1993 5.0L Mustang 3255 lbs
1998 5.8L Camaro 3373 lbs

Now I didn't do too well in math, but I do know that that isn't 800 lbs. Auto's weigh maybe 150-200 lbs more.

LS-1's don't hit 300 rwhp all the time....they will after the free mods and exhaust, but you have to remember that GM is notorious for sending their best cars to be dynoed for tests to get the best results.....90% of all the LS-1 dyno's I have seen (C5's included) have never passed 290, but like I just said I have seen a few that have.

105 mph in a 3400 lb car doesn't equal 300 rwhp...

See here you go again, getting all hostile with the mustang guys...

Fostang- You could spend the money you would have after all is said and done with the LS-1 swap and have a Mustang that would ROAST a LS-1.

Sky is right....300 rwhp will get you low 12's...300 rwhp is good for 109-110 mph.

That is my .02$$
