LS powered 67 Mustang re-do
Hey guys, I am re-doing my build thread on my LS powered 67 Mustang Coupe. Photobucket's new image policy ruined my old build plus it was just pages and pages of mistakes and building blunders. I am going to post some of the highlights and the new direction of the build.
The purpose of this build was to stick an LS in a classic mustang and not have to cut out the shock towers or run a steering rack. I was able to make my own motor mounts and hack up some LS3 camaro exhaust manifolds and position everything around a borgeson box.
Specs:
5.3 LM7 engine (canton front sump oil pan, dirty dingo dingo-slider engine mounts)
F-body T56 six speed (Hurst shifter, LS7 clutch, modern drive line hydraulic clutch conversion)
8.8 rear (fox body)
3.73 gear
Borgeson steering box
SN95 GT rear disc brakes
99-04 Cobra front disc brakes
Bendix power booser, 1' bore baer re-master, wilwood combo prop valve
18x9.5/18x8 riddler cast aluminum wheels (275/225) tires
Holley HP EFI
Aeromotive phantom 340 fuel system
Champion 3 row radiator
C6 pwm fan
Stock front suspension
4.5 leaf lowering springs + 1" blocks
Tinman Fab subframe connectors
*** At one point the car had a 76mm single turbo. I still plan on adding the turbo again, I just need to fab up a better passenger exhaust manifold.
Here she is the day I brought her home.
8.8 axle with all the brackets cut off
Firewall mods and heater delete
Engine mounts were made from 3/16 plate and slide over the lower control arm mounts and bolt in. The engine is offset to the passenger side for steering box clearance.
At one time the car had a 4l60e and i had to hack up the trans tunnel. Im glad I did, the T56 needed it.
I used a Wheel-fit 45 to mock up my tires before buying rims. I settled on 18" riddler wheels. They were stupid cheap from summit racing. They came in a gunmetal color but I had them powdercoated gloss black to match the theme of the car.
Here is the final engine position. The 5.3 accessory brackets clear the hood as well. I got frustrated with the turbo setup as I originally had the LS3 manifolds pointing forward and had all the hot side pipes in front of the crank. I now plan to install a loop of exhaust pipe from the driver side manifold to the passenger side and build an outlet from the passenger manifold to a T4 turbo flange. Basically make it look like the hooker style manifold, unless i can make their manifold fit with my engine offset.
More to come tomorrow. I am going to do some extensive mock up and take more pictures.
