Wow, did the heads survive or did they get slapped by some of the loose stuff?

Thanks again for the ride, was a blast!

Pulled the heads today,when the timing chain broke, it bent all the valves,but it looks like the castings made it.Shattered both pistons,and cylinders. Ron

so whats next engine wise.....i call for a Ford Racing 5.4 Aluminator engine and a 6 speed.....lol

The headers, enigine management are already LSX.I haven't completely eliminated Ford from my options,but once again I can't get to my horsepower requirements without spending boat loads of cash.I'm seriously looking at an LS3 on another board,what ever it is, I want at least 100HP more then I had with the last setup.

If you had a Ford engine then you would have broken earlier in the day.. lol

Stick with the LS deal.. you already have all the ancillary parts on hand.

And let me know on them internals...

[Steve1968LS2]

Wow.. just looked at the pics.



Let me know exactly what you're looking for.. even the timing chain and windage tray.. I will dig around.

Ron, you mentioned "boat" and "more horsepower" above.

Maybe this motor will do the job???

P.S. That video of the Stang is awesome!

Thanks guys,but I'm not sure what I'm doing,its almost as bad as when I started the project,still snooping around. Ron

[MonzaRacer]

uhmm lsx head DO fit the 302/351,,,,, with mods,,,,,lots of pro 5.0 parts layingaround, oh yeah, needs different trans,,,ooppss.
Heck look around and dig up L92 6.0 try LKQ salvage. I have found several I just can swing the electronics to run one.

[Ron S]

Hell winter is coming now,I think I'm going to get my Camaro finished and shop bargin parts for the Mustang all winter. I'll have to start a new Camaro build thread,that one has alot more creature comforts,and shiny parts. Ron

[MonzaRacer]

Aw man fun car sidelined for shine,,,j/k

[Ron S]

Just drug the Camaro out, but had to take one last pic before its winter hybrination.

Nice write up!....

[Ron S]

Scored an engine for my car last night.Got an ls7 shortblock with 2,700 miles off LS1 Tech for $3200,drove all the way Pittsburg last night in the driving rain, only to find the rest of the engine also for sale. Ended up getting the whole engine minus throttle body, oil pan ,and pump for just over 5k,I did sell my old wheels for to offset the cost a little bit,so my new title needs to be $19000 Budget Mustang.
