***Setting aside all the problems of trying to make it fit and the substandard quality of GM products, how much would he charge you for the engine?

Blah, blah, blah....

***You can make anything work. The question would be... why? A DOHC Cobra engine in a fox would be cooler IMHO. I just don't like it much when people cross lines putting a different manufacturers engine into a car.

***I'm not a fan of the LS-1, period. So that's probably part of it, but to each his own...

***On a side note, you'll shread a 700R4 with an LS-1.

The reason would probaly be because he can pick it up cheap. And it would run probaly low 12's with the stock "LS1". Who cares if people would like you for doing it, or "hang with you"? You'd be kicking ther A$$'s around. And you would have a kicka$$ Hybrid, best of both worlds. You have the lightness of the Fox body, and the power of the LS1. Perfect. I have also thought about doing this, I have a 4 cylinder coupe that is just waiting on an engine swap. If you built the 700R4 right, it would hold up no problem to the LS1 engine. These "diehard" Ford guys, or whatever you want to call them....aren't going to give you any help at all. So I wouldn't bother asking them, most of them are all simple one-minded thinkers anyway. But that is their choice to be like that. Yes I know Blah, blah, it's a mustang site...blah, blah, let me have it if want, it won't bother me any. I'm just voicing my opinion. ;o) $1000 for the engine and wiring harness is CHEAP, I'd pick that up in a second especially if it only had 15k on it. The swap would probaly take a while, but OHHHHHHHH....would it be worth it when you popped the hood!
