Re: HELL ON WHEELS

anything with an LSX is hard to beat. even the ford guys finally realize that and i see alot of stangs with them....lol. the drivability of an ls with alot of power is awesome. unbeatable. but to do the swap the right way it will cost. you can find used ls1 with t56 and all electronics average price around 4000 and more. then you need all the parts to have your gauges work with it and other stuff is needed as well. motor mounts headers that will fit.
