The LS was the clear winner in the size, weight, and price category. The new 5.0 would have been awesome and the new boss302... even more awesomer (that should be a word). But that engine takes up a huge amount of space. I also considered the supercharged 5.4, but price and weight were too high. The LS is going to help balance the car, and should leave room for some pretty good sized hood vents. I've always thought I was a die hard ford fan, but the LS made a lot of sense in this case.

How much wider was the 5.0 to the LSx? I know theres a guy on my 69stang forums whose throwing the 5.0 in his car already.

Either way I understand your decision, afterall your car your choice. Just stings having a chevy in a ford. Escpecially a nice 69 like yours.
