Has anyone on this Fourm Done an LS1 swap into there Bird Reply #15 – April 16, 2009, 03:45:03 PM You could look at other LS* series motors like 5.3 or the truck based 6.0 too. Might be a tad cheaper and the mods transfer.Just a thought. Quote Selected

There is more than one company that makes K-members to mate an LSx to a Fox.For example.... http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=AJE-MU3030K%20%20%20%201&comp=LRS Quote Selected

Has anyone on this Fourm Done an LS1 swap into there Bird Reply #19 – April 16, 2009, 08:26:30 PM I would guess that LSx motor's are more plentiful than Terminator Cobra motors. Plus keep in mind he already has access to a cheap LS1. I'd say go for it man. Who cares what other people think as long as you like it. Hell I saw a guy on Power Tour driving a '57 Chevy with a 460 in it. Talk about g people off...GM guys would look under the hood and storm off with a pissed off look on their face. lol.

Which is the main reason I mentioned that swap... if you are going to swap a $v, why not swap one with 85 more HP? Quote Selected

Has anyone on this Fourm Done an LS1 swap into there Bird Reply #28 – April 17, 2009, 10:30:46 AM It takes a huge pair to do something like that.In the spirit of hot rodding, I love it. :)The only thing that would bother me is that it would appear to Chevy owners that their engine is even more ubiquitous, if that's even possible. When a Chevy 350 or similar engine is thrown into, well, anything, they think nothing of it...almost as it that's the way it should be. It would look like the Ford owner resigned himself over to that fact. "Look, I gave up on Ford motors and went with what everyone else in the hot rodding world does!"Hence the connundrum.However...even in the age of massive car electronics, as long as there's a working ECU the car doesn't really care what's under the hood.
