After a certain point an LS swap makes financial sense. Building a high hp short deck ford becomes an equivalent cost to a swap once you go beyond a basic top end or turbo kit. Couple that with the cost of a trans swap T-5s kinda suck and it all makes sense.
I used to cringe at LS motors in a Mustang. Now I say why the fuck not! Can LS swap anything IMO. If you can have more power, reliability, less weight, and save money it just makes damn good sense!! I’d love to have an IRS in my Notch too! You got a bad ass ride my friend!🤘
The scream after finding out there's understeer and oversteer was hilarious. Awesome car build. LS swapped Fox Box should've been a more common thing despite the brand conflict. Thanks Dave.
Love the build, love the channel, love the fact the car is built 100% muscle and runs like the ra ppeda pe it was meant to be. That LS is a great block.
The IRS is great for grip driving. You can use it for drifting but without poly or delrin bushings, there is too much deformation or compliance with the suspension and the car becomes very unpredictable. Nice driving sir. This video was great! Thanks for sharing! Love the channel.
@@joeseptien2182 Your revolution is over. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me? The bums will always lose!
I love the foxbody and love the ls. Its just brands. Word between ford in chevy is that they are fine with each other, its the fans that are at each others throats. Awesome build.
New shit is pretty quick lol, coming from a notch owner they're fun, but then I drove my brother's 2018 350R and it's just a whole other world in braking, power, etc etc
Okay okay okay, hold up. I'm going to stop you at 1:40. Coyotes are not BIIIIG motors compared to the LS1. The coyote weighs 444 lbs and a gen 2 which is what I have makes 435hp crank...your LS1 weighs 430 lbs and makes 345 crank. The gen 3 coyote makes 460hp. I think 15 pounds is acceptable for 115hp extra and a 7500 rpm redline. This swap is better over the old 5.0 but don't go thinking it's better than a coyote. The facts speak for themselves. The difference is a coyote costs $10k and you can get an LS1 for under a grand.
Lol, this is an LS1 from 1998, there's lots of engines that make more power if you are willing to spend more. You could go LS3, which is down to 418 lbs and makes 430 crank if you get it out of a vette or camaro. Or for the same price as a Gen 3 Coyote crate engine you can get an LS3 crate engine with 525 crank.
I think he’s speaking in terms on actual physical space the engine takes up Ls motors are more compact because it’s a single in block cam so that makes the heads smaller. Vs coyote with quad cam and a lot bigger heads, just food for thought
It's the actual physical size of the coyote that keeps it from being swapped into most cars. The coyote is wider and taller than a LS. Plus you can literally spend 1k and make 430hp at the wheels with a ls1 na. 300 bucks you can make 380ish with just a cam. They are good engines just a little overused like most 90-2000s engines.
Appears to have the factory booster and master in place. On my 90 Saleen with the Alcons up front the car is using the larger SVO master and larger booster. Or atleast this is how it was set up from new with the BBK's.
Recaros are out of a Mk2 VW GTi/GLi 16v. Nice seats but an off choice for a trackish car with a rollbar. Something fixed back with a sub strap hole to be able to run a 5/6 point harness would've been my choice
I love everything about it. Those Recaro seats are very similar to the ones in my Capri, and they was btw standard item on late S and 2.8i Capris over here in europe. Nearly all seats that are non Recaro, I either don't like them regarding look, or they simply don't fit me very well. Just got myself 04' Volvo V40 1 gen, and I'm not really sure if I like the seats or not. Not a lot of side support and the seat cushion is a bit on the short side. But it was cheap :-)
Foxbody is the big boys S chassis. They have just about every aftermarket part imaginable available. The 94-04 mustang stuff bolts right in to it. The 03 cobra gets you a great IRS.
I will say that with the fender flares and better offset you can get 305s on it. Check out Creations n Chrome foxbody. Has a nascar-esque front bumper and splitter.
rtsoccerplayer How is it still valid if the information is wrong?? True enthusiasts know the small details and in 2011 they went to the coyote. Gtfo here
Yeah probably about 20 years. Or at least untill performance direct injection pumps become a reality. Then it will be LT swap the world. Then that will last until governments and Mr Musk take our gasoline away. Chevy small blocks have always dominated the hot rod scene. You figure you guys would be use to it by now. It's only been like 70 years of stuffing csb's in cars that didn't come with them. I get that it's common, but it's reliable, inexpensive, and it works.
The sn94 is better platform for the track with a irs swap. The sn94 only is only slightly heavier and this has to do with it being a more solid chassis. The fox is a wet noodle body flex for days.
Love the fox body Mustang, my dad had two. Might have to track one down and have a new to me money pit. The LS seems like a good choice, but I do like the sound of a 5.0 gurgling, always makes me think of my dad backing into the garage
it's a beautiful notch back mustang. i can't co-sign the motor tho sorry😔 very well put together. maybe i can get my mustang to Canada one day for a burn on your track
He could have done all that to a sn95 and had abs..... And a nicer looking car. Strange how people dig the fox and diss the sn95. Most fox guys I meet like it because they say it's ugly. I know most don't love the sn95 looks but they are a little better built.

LOL, I love this idea. 2500lbs, 9K rpm, RWD, 1000whp and if you can make it automatic it would be killer!!!!
@@joelpickell9352 aren't they like 3200lbs i think not 100 sure

Nice it is a IRS he said out of a 04 Cobra. I'm Loving this setup
Was that a lifted Celica on the track??
Clay DuVal lol that sht looked funny as hell!
Hahahhaha that thing was hilarious
That is a sick build!!!! Foxbody is a great chassis and with a ls motor is even better!!
Great build. Its becoming hard to find cars with character and fun. I'll keep an eye out for a clean Foxbody.
Love these track review videos. Keep them coming
super clean build. besides the killer swap the irs and 275's really set it up well

I'm in the process of a turbo LS swap. Any suggestions that help me wire my T56 to the factory Foxbody T5 wire harness?
Building with whatever works is the heart of hot rodding. Never understood the brand loyalty.
Brand loyalty is just gang mentality.
This is an awesome build.
Man I feel special! I think you guys read my comment, and gave me what I asked for. M'urica. Yeah ls swapped fox was the better choice.

The only way to make a LS fast is to wrap a ford around it
Way to make a mustang fast is not wrap it around a tree
You've been divorced from the Ford Family.. not invited to the Ford dinner table
Seems to be a very nicely put together car - 'cept coolant and oil temp's seem to be rather high?
Dude’s got a sweet T-shirt.
Where does he get them clear corners tho? I can’t find them
Is one of the steering wheel hub bolt gone missing? if it is, that's sketchy.
This is like swapping an EJ into an Evo
Except EJs arent reliable

I have a question fer Y'ALL
Can a BENTLEY W-12 ENGINE FIT A FORD MUSTANG LX FOXBODY??
As a Mustang guy, I'd say this is an acceptable swap for every mustang from 1970 - 2011 lol
You must not be a real Mustang guy because 2011 was the first year of the coyote which makes 420hp and is a far superior engine than an LS.
@@Stealth_Rider91 The guy is off by 1 year, his point is still valid.
I'd hate to see an LS in a factory 429 car
Nicholas Rodrigues Who said anything about a 429? Where tf did that even come from

What's with the rake on the celica?
Good to know it's at least flying by FT86's. Cool car!\
That RB26 in the background at 2:01 makes me want to rb swap a foxbody...
Sounds like a Porsche, judging by the quick snappy shift.
That's really nice.
The notch back is the prettiest I reckon. May be a stiffer shell too.

All these 80s cars are incredibly flaccid.
Does anyone know what steering wheel is that?
I need to take my new edge mustang to the track
Brakes wont hold up
Bring this Mustang into the LS meet...
AWESOME!
This thing is literal goals. Love it.
347 SBF would be a better choice than LS. Keep it Ford.
Exactly 2nd gear is go get em doesn't matter what moter in a fox
Freedom!!! Lol great vid.
The seat look like VW GTI mk2 Recaros.
100%
Its a very very similar seat design
Lol yup.
I love old school recaros
I can't wait for the days where EVERYTHING isn't LS swapped.
Marko Stanic have a seat its gonna be a while lol

Have any of you guys ever driven a ls ls3 or 7 swap yet? If you haven't then you won't understand
It'll be LT swapped and then lithium ion sewing machine swapped. Cherish these days they're numbered.
Looks like a fun car. I would like to see a eco boost v6 swap.
