If you cut the rad support and fab you're own, I imagine you'll have more/better options for mounting the intercooler and radiator. This is a pretty ambitious solo build, looking forward to the wiring and tuning part for sure...
@@Four_Eyes that's a very good point as well. I do worry that I'll hate the look of a square tubing rad support but maybe I can do something to make it more visually appealing. Definitely the biggest build I've taken on so far, but really excited to see what new skills I have to learn to finish it! Thanks for watching, looking forward to the next chapter of your build as well!
Came down to say the same thing. Throw some gussets in your corners little strength and some “flair”. That or spend some money and buy a cheap tube bender. Easy to say when it’s not my money. Lol
@@RELLIK66611 a decent tube bender is pretty high on my priority list, I feel like I'd use it all the time. But I think you're right, I might give this a shot!
Do you prefer the hatchback or the coupe? It's funny I was never a big fan of them growing up but now they're one of my favourite mustangs! Thanks for the support!
It's coming don't worry, I have more plans for that build and more events I want to go to! I have something big planned that has been taking up more time than I expected but I'm going to show you all soon!
Excited to see the build. Front tube end would be more effort, but it'll probably make customizing way easier. Regardless it looks like you have enough room to do whatever you choose 👍🏼 just subscribed!
Would love to do a full tube front end, maybe if I get a bender one day.. For now it sounds like a tubular rad support is in it's future! Thanks for the support!
@@ashtonclark1087 thanks dude I appreciate it! Super excited to tear I to this build. I just finished another mustang build if you're looking for some more videos to watch!
I really didn't like them at first but they're starting to grow on me! Do you think I should do the turbo poking out the hood a little or keep it hidden? Thanks for watching!
@@kxnworthmacros5986 I really really want to, love the look of it and would definitely make things much simpler.. It just isn't in the budget yet, as the build progresses and the car gets faster I bet it'll get tubed real quick
Nice build..!! I also have a fox body I really will love to do a coyote swap but it’s just crazy expensive.. I already have a ls3 and a t56 I’m just thinking to go that route.. what kind of member you are going to be using?
The LS just fits so well in these cars, you should definitely do it! I'd love to do a Ford swap one day it just isn't in the cards right now. I went with aje because it was affordable and I was able to get it locally! It'll be in the next video.
@@LooseFab that’s true ls fit very nice in this cars. Your car it’s a 4 cylinder like my car so I think it’s worth the ls swap. I will fallow your progress..!!
@@Greenfishys turn on them notifications and youll be the first to know! I have been working on something huge in the background which has delayed it a bit but shouldnt be too much longer! would you get a coupe or a fastback when you get a fox?
@@LooseFab harbor freight CENTRAL MACHINERY 12 Ton Hydraulic Pipe Bender ... its affordable and will do what you are asking for , i do think there are cheaper ones on amazon but i have no experience with those
Make sure the rings are gaped if you don't your going to be breaking pistons. I have seen so many put a turbo on their LS and the first over 8 or 10 PSI the ring lands will break so if you want to run high boost gap the rings th-cam.com/video/jAGOPaXGxx0/w-d-xo.html
Oh good call and thanks for the link, I appreciate that! I've heard some people say you don't always need to gap the rings on higher mileage motors, do you have any thoughts on that?
Wrong. I’m running 14lbs on stock gap and pump 93… that only happens when an idiot tunes it or the intercooler is bypassed.. 13-14lbs safely anything over that I would gap 10-14 with proper timing is a ok.
@@LSX_Projects oh boy, i have bad news.. I'm something of an idiot lol. But that is great to hear, I think I'm going to try to chance it with them as is, for now at least
Yeah it's definitely been done a million times, but I've never gotten to drive or even ride in a turbo ls car before so I want to see what all the hype is about! I have a more interesting swap in store for a different car im building if that's more your style!
They a rare model? Or can you can aftermarket replacements? I ended up selling the motor out of this thing pretty quickly, I guess they're sort of desirable!
@@LooseFab my carb on my 2.3 all the screws are stripped out on my 2.3 is in a 1974 ford pinto mine has a ported head and a decent size cam and a open long tube race header
I knew I'd lose some people, I have another Ford chassis I haven't shown on here yet that I'd like to do a 302/manual trans combo in. Never got to experience an LS before so I want to see what all the fuss is about lol
@@LooseFab I have a 1987 foxbody coupe and its getting a 351w with a decent bottom end and a 76mm turbo. I believe it will do everything and more for a street machine.
I'm planning on swapping something more unique into one of my other cars, just gotta see what all the hype is about with these things. What sort of motor would you go with?
Yeah you're probably right. I just want to keep it looking as unsuspecting as possible, crappy paint and steel wheels with full exhaust. Hopefully it'll surprise some people!
Sorry you feel that way! I'm excited for the build either way. If I had a big budget I'd do a Godzilla motor, but I don't have those kinds of funds right now. Maybe one day!
@@LooseFab Completely understand about the budget but there are a lot more options than LS, Its not you its me lol Im just sick of hearing LS is the "budget" way when its not. FYI Im not strictly Ford I daily a Escalade 6.0 AWD even had the idea of swapping into one of my foxbodies but after a little research LS is just as expensive as others. Good luck on your build.

I love the builds you're doing, cant wait to keep up with them!
Thanks dude I appreciate that! Really excited to see this one come together, I have some pretty cool plans for it
this build is gonna be sick. no reason for all these people to hate on the LS.
Thanks dude! And I agree. I can appreciate a unique swap, but this just seemed like a no brainer for this car!
Super underrated youtube channel good quality on videos
Thanks dude! I appreciate the kind words and support!
I’ve wanted a fox body forever. Such a beautiful body style. I’ll get one someday. New sub here
Do you prefer the hatchback or the coupe? It's funny I was never a big fan of them growing up but now they're one of my favourite mustangs! Thanks for the support!
@ the coupe 100%. I’m not big on the 4 eye personally. I’d love to get ahold of a 93 cobra with tee tops, perfect!!!
@@JVScustoms agreed on the coupe! I'm not crazy about the 4 eye either but they're growing on me! You've got good taste!
This has got to be the most reasonable engine swap.
I'm trying to go fast on a budget an LS definitely fits the bill!
Hell yeah. So stoked to see this thing in action. Wish I could find a non rusty roller for cheap to do the same lol
Crazy that they were so cheap a few years ago now they've gotten so hard to find! I've always loved the coupes, so stoked to be building this one!
Hopefully with a ford motor though lmao
fender mount intake, gotta go FULL sleeper build lol
Hahah, figured that might be a good spot to tuck it to save some space!
Can't wait for the next video 😍
Thanks dude!! Excited to share the next stage with you guys!
Need more s197 action
It's coming don't worry, I have more plans for that build and more events I want to go to! I have something big planned that has been taking up more time than I expected but I'm going to show you all soon!
I'm ready for the other videos of the swap ni 😂
Waiting on a vital part thats supposed to be here in just a few days then it's full steam ahead!
im here for the build keep it up

@@viniciusdalfovo4500 wow, this is the first time I'd heard of AutoLatina, super interesting stuff! And I can definitely see the similarities!
Hell yea
Hell yeah😎
I think the 4 headlights look better but it's just an opinion
I really didn't like them at first but they're starting to grow on me! Do you think I should do the turbo poking out the hood a little or keep it hidden? Thanks for watching!

Thank you Mr Hamsandwich
just go tube front end, would make mounting and installing so much easier
@@kxnworthmacros5986 I really really want to, love the look of it and would definitely make things much simpler.. It just isn't in the budget yet, as the build progresses and the car gets faster I bet it'll get tubed real quick
cut out the headlight and leave a bit in it so it still works but you see the turbo that would be dope
Dude I hadn't thought of that, that's a sick idea! You might be onto something!

buy a cheap pipe bender .. it will kink BUT its not structural its just for support [ FRONT RAD SUPPORT ]

@@LooseFab sure thing. I can do that, hardest part with the 351w is finding a decent intake manifold.... they want an arm and leg for them now.
@@scottadkins918 I believe it. They're a fairly tall motor right? Any issues fitting it under the hood?
Was all for it til u said chevy motor, plenty of other options outside the box
I'm planning on swapping something more unique into one of my other cars, just gotta see what all the hype is about with these things. What sort of motor would you go with?
There’s no such thing as a “sleeper Foxbody build” anymore. This so too played out.
Yeah you're probably right. I just want to keep it looking as unsuspecting as possible, crappy paint and steel wheels with full exhaust. Hopefully it'll surprise some people!
You could build a foxbody thunderbird and it still be a sleeper bc most people don't know what they are lol
i was gonna keep watching until you said LS
What motor would you like to have seen?
