LSx into a 1969/70 Mustang, and kits??

[qnitro]

I have looked everywhere.. do anyone know of a kit to put a LSx/t56 into a 1969/70 Mustang?? I know guys have fabbed some things up, but does anyone know of kits?? Like headers, mounts etc..

Thanks

One day I would love to drop a ls motor in a 64-69 mustang. I'm going to watch this thread for an answer.

None exist that I know of. However you find a shop to fab up the pedastals, the rest is normal swap stuff you find on the many ls forums. I have only stuck ls motors in older Gm body's but my bud has 2 '66 Stangs, I want to toss an ls motor in. :flag2:

If I was still in the Bay area, I would have Mean street fab something up :) Picked up a 1970 Fastback Boss Clone. I already ordered the CCW's, Baer Brakes, Total Control front coil over and rear 4 link coil over..has a 302 in it.. But I want to go fast and swap parts for LSx are easy to get.. just not for a mustang :)

Here she is with a new toy I picked up :)

We can build you a chassis with LS mounts in it.. So that's kind of like a kit.... :)

Man, I wish.. If I hadn't already ordered the stuff..

I immediately thought of the Agent47 Harbinger... but couldn't easily figure out what it's running. In the video he mentions a Boss 302 with a GT intake so they might not have any LS fitment info. Could be worth getting in touch with them to see if they have any ideas.

I was going to suggest DSE front suspension, but saw that you already ordered the TCI coilovers.

Kevin,

I put a LS engine in a 67 Cougar. Details here:

I have full TCP front suspension and also a TCP rack conversion kit. The rack kit makes life easier.

Just like with Andrew's Cougar mentioned above, you've got plenty of room in a '69 engine bay for an LS (without having to chop shock towers, like in an earlier Mustang). With that in mind, you're not likely to find a "kit" without doing something like a Mustang II crossmember--that's probably as "off the shelf" as you'll get.

If you really want it, be the guy who does the research (measurements/angles/bolt patterns), then tells the fab guy exactly what you want. It should be relatively simple. You've got some great fab guys local-ish to you, like DuSold and Vorshlag. Vorshlag puts LS engines in BMWs and Scions, so your Mustang (or just some applicable one-off parts) would be a piece of cake for them . . .:gitrdun:

Oh, wait . . . there's a guy on Pro-Touring.com who did a '69 or '70 Mustang LS conversion with a Griggs Racing subframe, but that's not bolts, and you've already bought stuff . . .

I remember you had the 70 Firebird Vince Mini tubbed. Great looking car.

It looks like you have adapted just fine to the open plains. Any cool stretches of road near you?

[qnitro]

Yeah trying to get it painted.. Having a tough time here in Dallas.. Its made worse as I fly back and forth for work, so havent really had time to dedicate and go to shops

Chassisworks/Total Control just came out with this new front clip in several versions. They also offer LS mount options.

LS in an early Mustang, it can't be done!!! If you do decide to do it, be aware!!, the Mustang may puke out the first couple engines. LOL
