some of you already know of whats been going on in my garage but i thought id just chuck it up on here adn make it final. i pulled the VG some time ago and bought a 95 GT stang for a motor set swap. that motor turned out to be complete garbage so i recently bought a freshly built 5.0. this one out of an 88 GT. so its gonna be running 95 efi w/a 88 block and heads. essentially the same w/roller lifters. until i get the car tuned it will be carb'd. that efi crap is just on there for mocking up. the VG mounts were stupid close to teh V8. i seriously just cut the tops off, moved them towards teh front of the car about an inch and a half and angled them differently. the oilpan is a premo custom jobber as the rear sump would hit the x member and rack. the oil pickup is a custom job as well. i havent really gotten to far on this project as ive been spending most my days this summer surfing so its kinda lagging along lol at any rate, there it is. i also have some coilovers (ground control) w/eibach springs and tokiko illumina 5 ways, poly bushings all around, etc. pretty basic shit really. ill post some pics of before i started taking it apart for the noobs and some pics as it sits in the garage now. its really a tight squeeze and i had intended on moving the firewall back in its entirety for for space constraints i couldnt get teh motor to sit under teh windshield so just the trans tunnel is getting re-done. im not sure what radiator im going to go w/yet as teh stock SE radiator is tiny and the stang one was to big. go figure! lol fortunetly for me the stang radiator came w/an electric fan so thats a plus as a fan wouldnt fit. ill also be relocationg the steering linkage w/a u-joint and pillow block bearing to make room for the drivers side header (mac shorty headers). more on that later. for now here's some pics. as you can see, that hood cowel will definetly be necassary. the shifter lines up perfectly too btw. better imo, its a few inches back.. oh, sorry for the crappy pics, it was dark out and i couldnt be bothered turnnig all the lights on in the garage..yes, im lazy.

discuss lol

Nice work mate.

You would have to be loco to try n do it... but much kudos for following it up!

Keep us informed. As my friend keeps telling me... owning an S12 makes ppl do some crazy things.

damn it man! u beat me too it!!! show pics of ur motor mounts.

Premo

firstly...alex, you're gay.  lol

as far as it twisting the frame goes im not to worried as a set of different cams will fix that.  im not looking for a low end tq monster, im gonna toss in cams that will give me good top end.  besides, the chassis is good for it or i wouldnt of done it.  and thats what sub frame bracing is for.  ive planned ahead man.  as far as loyalty goes to one manufactured to another, i have none.  whatever gets teh job done.  i had planned on building up teh VG but eh, sbf's are SOO much cheaper to build and easy to get gobbs of power out of.  theres really just a stupid amount of aftermarket for the motor.  ill get some pics of the motor mounts within the next week or so, im a lazy bastard.

im surprised no one made any wise cracks on that gay leapard print dog bed in teh back ground my wife bought lol

Good on you Alex.

This is something that I am sure has crossed the minds of atleast half the members here at one time or another. I'm glad to see someone do it.

I'm curious, do you think you will have room for headers? do you plan on running a y-pipe or make some sort of dual exhaust? I hope you make it so the exhaust pipes come out right before the rear tires. LOL...All I have to say is BADASS!!!!

thats actually what i was thinking about the exhaust.  we'll see tho when i get to that stage.  as far as headers go, there's all of about zero chance of them fitting.  thats where relocating the steearing linkage comes into play.  i believe i posted some pics of this on another thread just the other week, cant remember the thread title though.  dual exhaust tho w/an x or h pipe most likely.  but right now im more concerned on fitment then ill worry about things like that.

oh, and klox, i forgot to say..im not the first person to do this swap.  someone else has done it but he asked me not to mention names.  last i heard tho he was pulling his 302 out for a 351 but i havent spoken w/him for about 6 months so who knows *shrug*
