thanks in all honesty i donât know very much about V8âs at all and what little i know is based on my research from an LS1 Miata that I dreamed of doing for a while and would still love to do. I know that the LS1 is the motor of choice for miata fagz and weight is a big part of that. Plus theyâre a kit that includes just about everything you need except for the LS1, the T56 and whatever ECU you want to run for cheap, so that probably has something to do with that :lol
I think the LS1 is a clear choice for a race team over whatever the 03-04 cobra motor is called, I donât know a single thing about any other Ford motor though :lol
The terminator motor is pretty heavy, as its an iron block, has 4 cams, and a blower hanging off it. I could just never get rid of that motor, its so responsive to mods that its not even funny. And being a Ford fanboi I would throw something like my motor, or a Dart 363 Al block with AFR 205âs in it and be just as fast if not faster, and possibly lighter. The Dart setup is cash though, so non-ballers need not apply.
just like you wont put money on a roll, I wont put money on a dig
but yah, it will be fun. I can do it this coming weekend.
you say both are both the same availability wise and cost nearly the same to buildâŚ
then why are LSxâs going in EVERYthing??? I was watching a new episode of pinks all out yesterday when they did the 4 lane racing in NC, and their was two fox body mustangs with chevy 350âs that made it to the finals.
your a moron
I DID change the tune with my bigger injectors. I scaled them correctly. My tuner sent me the injector scale tables
I havent been back to get the tune tweaked with a wideband since I scaled/added my larger injectorsâŚwith my stock injectors they were maxed at 5800rpms and going irratic after thatâŚso when it was tuned on the stock injectors that was dialed in perfect below 5800rpms but way too lein over 5800rpms and me putting larger injectors and scaling them still doesnt tweak the AFR on top end that needs to be done with a wideband. He told me when I got the new injectors in I had to come back and he had to throw a wideband on itâŚhes just 2 hours away and I havent had time to go out there.
not making excusesâŚ
mine weighs 3480 dry, with no one in itâŚthen add 2 passengers and a heavy ass stereoâŚknocking on 4000lbâs door.
B/c for some reason they make LS1 k-members to swap everything in. For decades queers have been swapin chevies into everything under the sun. Notice how all of the LSx foxâs fell to the Sbfâs:evilking Happens in damn near every Pinks event, there are some big CI LSx foxâs, that goes up against a real ford product and it gets beat.
Did you catch the Ford powered Camaro MOPPING up??
thats right bitches BBFâŚbut cross breeding, just plain gay, i gave it some thought but realized how stupid it is. Ill probably get shot for this comment on this website but i look at it this way, if its a domestic its coolâŚthe other shits gotta be pretty damn bad ass for me to consider it.
I think as an owner of both worlds that when chevy put out the LS-based shit they did it right, theyre bad ass , reliable, respond great to mods and they can be found fairly cheap, i can say an LS based fox is a cool swap, its fucking stupid. I think each Ford and Chevy have made a few cars that are one hell of a platform. For instance the foxes, theyre fairly light weight have a nice wheel base good size engine compartment plenty of room for tire, 8.8" ford rears bolt directly in place (even though almost all the big names make a bolt in 9" for every vehicle on the planet), and a very simple interior that can be made into both the perfect race car or cruiser. With the price of any âswapâ weighed out, i beleive theyre all about the same respectively. Anytime you put something in a car that wasnât supposed to be in it, its pricey and difficult, i dont care what anyone says. Iâve done it. So why the hell do you put a chevy product in a ford car or vice versa? Just like if i was to own a Malibu, which i think is one of chevys many perfect platform cars, you bet your ass there would be a big cube LS based motor or a huge cube BBC in it. Thats just what you do, not this LS fox, or Terminator Camaro bullshit. If i was to do a different swap in my ride than what i did, hands down i would put a termi motor in it or find a navigator motor and slap a carb intake on it. Anyone else see the fox on pass time (i think) with the navigator motor. Over 100kmi on the motor with a small shot of spray the damn thing was running mid 10âs iirc.
