Turbo LS1 1999 Mustang GT - Pulling out of shop

[ssjoe1234]

A W E S O M E !!!!!!!!!!!1

[skaterbrains]

should paint a little chev bow tie around the horses neck

[BHS201055]

Do you ever hear of any chevy guys putting a mustang 4.6 in a chevy? I dont think so. The 4.6's suck, they are only decent with a supercharger and a shit load of money!

[BHS201055]

I am a Ford guy but LS1 > 4.6 The 4.6 was the slowest motor for ever made and it takes a Supercharger to get them over 400whp. You can take an LS1 and put a cam, intake , headers and tune on it and be well over 400whp. LS1 motors came down from the sky. But I will say the new 5.0 motor came down from Heaven.

[baamm69]

Thats the only engine that belongs in any hotrod, Ford, Dodge or Chevy

[longshot1490]

finally a proper engine for that car

[240sxcoupe09]

IS SO FREAKING FUNNY HOW EVERYONE CRYS ABOUT YOU HAVING A SBC LS1 MOTOR LOL, MY FRIEND HAS A BORED OUT 400 IN HIS 89 HATCH, MAKES 1400 HP WITH EVERYTHING ITS GOT, THE TRUTH IS IS CHEAPER TO HAVE A CHEVY MOTOR BUT IT WONT LAST AS LONG AS A FORD MOTOR, TRUST ME MY FRIEND IS ON HIS 4TH CHEVY BLOCK RITE NOW HIS LAST 3 GOT SPLIT IN HALF WHERE THE CRANK SHAFT FELT OUT AND HE STILL WHENT 5.31ET AT 128MPH :) NOW HE HAS A DART BLOCK SO IS REALLY AFTERMARKET NOT REALLY A CHEVY MOTOR ANYMORE!!!

[The23Jman]

Even ford owners know tht chevy power is better :P

[musicofthesoul85]

What is the cost of doing this swap? I been wanting to do this for years but now have the cash and desire to do it. I have a buddy who is willing to sell me his 94 v6 mustang for $350

[khdude2000]

Wow, more shitstain owners need to do this swap

[onquarter]

finally a stang with a real motor

[ls7taforme]

i like that look!

[nativeprideonmine]

i dont know why everyone is making such a big deal about it chevy guys are quick to throw a ford 9in in a chevy and i never heard any one complaining about that

[VOAOURKZ]

funny thing is that this is his car, not any of yours. quit hatin on american products dumb fuckers

[SySTeM4T1c]

Hopefully that ls1 doesn't commit suicide once it figures out it's in a Ford ;)

[xxbulaxx]

I've got a 97 cobra with a BBC on two foggers....Keep crying ford fan boys.

[quadking135]

hahaha i love it when ford guys shit themselves when this happends. i have an 01 ss myself and i like all other maro owners hate mustangs, but i have to admit they do look pretty mean, and this engine swap gives u the "best of both worlds". thumbs up man! and to all you ford owners, remember this, THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT. =]

[Brian500R]

@quadking135

mustangs have other advantages than just "looks pretty mean," whatever that gay shit means.

[FordNissanChevy]

Cobra motors are better than 2 valve tractor engines. too bad dumb-asses who dont know shit still think pushrod is superior.

[Brian500R]

@FordNissanChevy the most powerful engines in the world are all 2v pushrod, fag.

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R more valves=better head flow=more power.

[Brian500R]

@FordNissanChevy

then why are all of the most powerful engines 2 valve pushrod designs? and why does the 2 valve corvette keep beating the 5 valve ferraris? and why did yamaha drop their 5 valve genesis design and go back to 4 valves in 07?

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R yeah your totally right. Infact my weed eater has no valves so its the greatest engine in the world. It beats the space shuttle and its also faster than light!

[Brian500R]

@FordNissanChevy

in a way you are right, even though i think that you are to stupid to realize it.

2 stroke engines have numerous advantages over 4 strokes. you are probably too stupid to realize any of those but whatever. its boring to discuss tech data with morons such as yourself.

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R no I completely understand!!!! Ls1's r teh better den Ford becuase Ford sux, Ls1 was forged by Thor and blessed by God and came from the factory with a flux capacitor for every cylinder and has a compression ratio of over 9000:1 and can get up to 1000mpg while rev'd up to 20,000 rpm! Its Chevy and Chevy can do anything better becuase its a Chevy! And it only costs 50 cents!!!!!

[Brian500R]

@FordNissanChevy

all i read was: " i am too stupid to form a valid rebuttal so i will post some retarded elementary school drivel in an effort to divert attention away from my own ignorance."

am i getting close here?

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R nah im just sick and tired of idiots. DOHC>OHV, just like Coil Pack>Distributor and EFI>Carb. Heck its even Auto>Manual

[Brian500R]

@FordNissanChevy

oh ya? why do carbs yield more top and bottom end power? look it up. why do ohv engines make more power and win more races than dohc? why are automatics used exclusively in off road and drag racing?

you sound like some 15 year old kid who has never owned a car and got all his info from the fast & furious movies.

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R your hopelessly retarded. Just hopelessly retarded.

[Brian500R]

@FordNissanChevy

personal attacks: for when you are losing an argument and have nothing valid left to say. its just like forfeiting a game.

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R same thing you did

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R im guessing you also think generators are better than alternators too then huh?

[Brian500R]

@FordNissanChevy

haha, i bet you couldn't even tell me the difference between the two or the advantages of either without looking it up.

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R of what?

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R and re-read my comment, see the part auto>manual.

[Brian500R]

why are small aircraft engines still using magnetos, carbs and ohv configurations? there are many obvious advantages to this setup, its just that dumb ricers such as yourself are too dumb to realize them.

[Brian500R]

@FordNissanChevy

and why are people ripping the dohc piece of shit engines out of skylines, supras, 240's and evos's left and right and replacing them with GM LS series engines? and more importantly, why are the cars always significantly faster after the swap?

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R Chevy engines are cheap, thats why. Thats why people go with Chevy engines, they are simply cheaper to buy and build. You can make a mitsubishi 4 banger blow the doors off a ls1. Yes you can make the ls1 alot faster due to the fact that its alot larger of an engine but compare them both the the mitsu will make more power to size. GM needs a larger engine to compete.

[Brian500R]

@FordNissanChevy

yes they are cheap, they also have a larger aftermarket, they also are capable of more power, they also are more reliable, they also are lighter.

[tuugfo]

@FordNissanChevy ls7 :)

[tuugfo]

@Brian500R because chevy is blessed by god

[Brian500R]

my 4 valve 10R is significantly faster than my 5 valve R1, so that disproves your theory right there.

[bobbyesterly]

how hard was the swap? i want to do it to my 96 v6 stang but really have no clue what im getting myself into when it comes to whether custom fab will be needed or not

[THESHYESTBOY]

WHAT YOU CALL A MUSTANG ON STEROIDS..  NICE JOB

[THESHYESTBOY]

GREAT CHOICE BRO, NOT ANYONE CAN DO THIS , SO THE HATERS GOTTA HATE. LSX MOTOR GREAT CHOICE .

[Topfueltrooper]

finally a ford with a real motor.

[EdgeHeadTulsa]

For all you true blue balls ford fans out there. Before you get your shorts all twisted. This must have been a 6 banger. He had made the right choice.

[GiffinsPerformance]

@EdgeHeadTulsa No No, it was a 4.6 2 valave with a vortec supercharger. head unit blew up and took out a cylinder. This setup was cheaper and made more power

[EdgeHeadTulsa]

@GiffinsPerformance I didn't know. I just seen that it said Mustang in the rear not GT or Cobra. It sounds really good. Go by my page and take a look at my Brothers 96' SVT Cobra.

[350barry]

i had a 98 with a stock ls1 stock cam and a tune with kooks headers 3500 stall and a brake with a 125 shot ran a 10.98 @ 123, the numbers dont lie. LS1 motors a built pretty tough.

[Russell042]

This is kinda like an Oxymoron Lol. Badass tho.

[Camaromandave98]

Lol at all the mustang guys mad cause the mustang has a real motor now, nice new edge stang man, haha.

[sfmex]

build ford tough with chevy parts lol...real sleeper :D

[cruerocker2008]

LS1 mustang?

worlds farstest mustang!!!!!

[codywilfredgetson]

love the swap, i am wnating to put a carb lq4 into a 99 up v6 mustang, where can i get some good info on this swap??

[RCCMontague]

That is so epic!!!

[04COMach1]

Why? You could have just as easily dropped in a 03/04 Cobra motor and threw a smaller pully on there and had a Mustang powered by Ford, the way it should be.

[roidsR4losers]

haha nice pull it out in the snow!

[natas516]

In case no one noticed this car is sick as fuck.

[SandMan81790]

finnaly someone is smart enough to drop a proven motor into a mustang. thanks giffins, car is definetly a sleeper :D

[Terisaariel]

@SandMan81790 yup cuz the 4.6 dohc has never been proven to do anything..... except walk all over the ls1.. forgot all about that little fact. my bad

[MulletRide]

You have to appreciate the work put into this swap, plus he gets the  great ford looks with the gm performance on top. I don't understand why all of the ford fanboys are so butthurt?

[MulletRide]

Got tired of the POS 2v 4.6 huh? LS1 FTW.

[Sk8FalIen]

@MulletRide the 2v 4.6 isnt a pos its not as good as the ls1 ill admit but it definitely isnt shit

[zoneracer]

nice car when my girl get sick of her v6 mustang iam going to do something nuts with it

[wickedstick3]

Damn its like that mustang just got a penis enlargement

[shawnmgarcia]

Shit, talk about a fu*kin sleeper........

Very nice!

[BimmerM5e39]

To all the 99-04 Mustang GT and V6's owners this swap rocks! If you can afford a Cobra then thats good and keep it that way. I wish the P71 had a chevy motor because the same 99-04 4.6 GT engine in the P71 sucks. But the new 2011 GT 5.0 motor is what I'd really want in the P71. Its a superior engine and its from Ford but as you know Corba engines and 2011 GT 5.0's CO$T a few grand more then a Chevy engine.

[oneshotkill324]

GTFO out of the Mustang club. No I mean right now. WTF are you doing with that shit in there? You could've bought a front clip 03/04 Cobra, twin turboed it and put down more power than that POS GM product you call a motor. Honestly dude a GM motor does not belong in a Ford vehicle. If you want an LSx then BUY AN F-BODY.

[BimmerM5e39]

@oneshotkill324 so a Ford or Chevy motor doesn't belong in A BMW E36 which is a far better car on the street. 99-04 Mustangs GTs suck its not a cobra anyways so relax.

[GiffinsPerformance]

@oneshotkill324 I bet all of the street rodders would disagree. How many 32 fords out there with a SBC?

[oneshotkill324]

@GiffinsPerformance I don't care lol. It's because they're abundant and cheap. It doesn't make them a good choice for a Mustang. Keep Chevy's 40 year old technology away from my Mustang, thanks.

If you were gonna waste your money on an LQ4, you could've just built and blown a 5.4L and gotten way more power out of it.

[nofood54]

@oneshotkill324 and it will only cost 3 time as much to build and still make less power

[SySTeM4T1c]

@oneshotkill324 all opinions buddy, all opinions...

[03sto]

@oneshotkill324 40 yr old technology? you must be referring to the cast 350 blocks. The only similiarities between this ls1 and those is the displacement and interchangable rod bearings. Its an all aluminum small block that made up to 402hp stock, n/a. Few 5.4 make that much or more stock supercharged. Oh and lq4 is the vortec 6.0l found in trucks, not this motor. I dont get why you care so much about what brand it is, if its fast and fun, who the hell cares what brand it is!

[Topfueltrooper]

@oneshotkill324 and what, keep Fords POS boat anchor motor in it ? its about time a mustang got a good engine put in it. Like all the big time tuners like Nelson Racing, Lingenfelter, Hennesey, all said, Ford engines are disposable garbage, the best thing to do with a ford if its to be modded is dump the shitmotor and put a better engine in it. 

[Texarmageddon]

now don't get me wrong people, the 2v, 3v, and 4v can be beastly... yet, let's be honest. When your engine blows, you have the following options.

1.) Replace your old motor with the exact same one..(will be slower than an LS1) Build it back up just to beat an LS1... Or LT1 for the 2v peeps.

2.)Engine swap with a 3v or 4v engine which ARE NOT CHEAP and still will be slower.

3.) Or just buy a cheap pushrod chevy. Why pay more for the same thing? 2v valves are 2 valves.

[TraptPatriot]

@oneshotkill324 And you the the 4.6 is a good motor? Rofl. Get a 5.0... idiot...

[Z28ChevySB]

@oneshotkill324 Blown? Exactly what you need to do to keep up with bolt ons all motor GM and Chevy powered V8 vehicles. You're just a little fan boy too afraid to admit when he's wrong. Chevrolet or Ford, they're both American made so shut up and be happy.

[nathenandrew]

@GiffinsPerformance and they are all poser pieces of poo.

[Brian500R]

@oneshotkill324

those ohc engines are big, slow, heavy pieces of shit. this way he has more room and less weight. oh and more power too.

[oneshotkill324]

@Brian500R Yeah you're right they're awful. Twin turbo Hellion Cobra's only put down around 800 wheel horsepower on 17 pounds of boost. But you're right they're so heavy and shitty, they can't make any power. Just like the 5.4L DOHC in the Ford GT. It can only handle 1000 whp from the factory without touching the bottom end of the car. That motor is such a piece of shit.

[Brian500R]

@oneshotkill324

you just named off a bunch of shit that just about any engine since the 1960's can do, even some 4 cylinders. were you trying to make a point or are you the kind of retard that just shits random nonsense out of his mouth?

and if you are looking for a ford with impressive numbers why do you have to resort to rare/one of a kind/custom build cars? i would just go to a junk yard and build a ls2 that will walk those pieces for under 1000 dollars.

[FordNissanChevy]

@Brian500R yeah I can pull an ls1 out of the junkyard and 5 bucks later have a 20,000hp engine.

[INF3CT3DPRODUCTIONSX]

@oneshotkill324 holy fuck...a little pissed that a ford motor got out-performed? it happens a lot

[tuugfo]

@oneshotkill324 shut up this ford is a true car now with a real engine, so stfu in ur little pussy ass 4.6

[Topfueltrooper]

@tuugfo you said it ! *thunbs up*

[Topfueltrooper]

@oneshotkill324 Your an dumb hillbilly idiot. Its about time a mustang got a real engine. The LSx series engines are FAR better that any pice of shit Frod motor ever produced. MANY LSx engines are swapped in everything, 350z's, 280z's, Miatas, RX7s, and LOTS of fords, but you never see any ford shitmotors in NOTHING, because Ford motors are garbage scrap metal boat anchors. The LSx engine will handle WAY more horspower than the ford shitmotor, and far more reliable.

[Texarmageddon]

@Topfueltrooper Correction, the Ford Motor is actually the more reliable of the two. bigger bore and stroke means thinner walls. Walls eventually are eaten away.... Ford built the 4.6 strictly for the econo sport car people. A long lasting sports car with really no problems. I'm not taking sides as I plan to put a 5.3l vortech in my mustang hopefully by mid-next year.

[rxtony05]

@Topfueltrooper lol "...garbage scrap metal boat anchors." That makes me smile :)

[khdude2000]

@oneshotkill324 are you joking? LS1 shits on all Fagstangs aside from the newer and more expensive cobra

[Flessner71]

@oneshotkill324 why are you so mad? he just made that mustang worth driving:)

[xilix]

@oneshotkill324 People like you lack imagination. LS1's are fucking awesome, affordable engines, and can make just as much, if not more power than any modular 4.6 out there. I would do this in a heartbeat to my 2000 Mustang GT if I had the money.

[MrRicerssuck]

@oneshotkill324 haha ya right ls1 all the way atleast it wont break down and will eat cobras

[BimmerM5e39]

Whoever doesn't like this swap needs to be bitched slap. This swap makes the original 4.6 it comes with look like garbage. I have not seen any success with people who build the 4.6 they are small and cant handle to much boost. Thats why getting a bigger engine is better and chevy has that stock. No need for a stroker kit.

[crakpotjoe]

@BimmerM5e39 I guess you never heard of the 03-04 Cobras, they can run 10s with bolt-ons and other minor work.

[BimmerM5e39]

@crakpotjoe Buy a Cobra then we are talking about his GT that was swaped read my comments. I didn't say swap it in a Cobra which is a good setup to begin with.

[crakpotjoe]

@BimmerM5e39 Actually what you said was, '"I have not seen any success with people who build the 4.6 they are small and cant handle to much boost."

Next time be more specific because last time I checked 4.6s are what size the 96-04 Cobras and 05 and up Mustang GTs are and those modified are some pretty stout engines. Do your research before making stupid comments. Giffins, nice build! I always wondered what it would be like to do that swap to a SN95 Mustang.

[oneshotkill324]

@BimmerM5e39 Lol you must be retarded. There are Cobra's making 30psi and putting down over 1000hp to the wheels. They can't handle any boost? I think they can.

[BimmerM5e39]

@oneshotkill324 Cobras have 5.4 DOHC SC engines you dumb fuck, did I say Corba I was refering to the 4.6 in the GT read you stupid Asshole. Cobras are the only mustang from 99-04 that means business. If you got the GT the LQ9 rapes it thats what I meant swap that shit out. And a built LQ9 with turbo will make over 1000whp.

[oneshotkill324]

@BimmerM5e39 No, you dumb fuck. 96-98,99,01 Cobras had the 32V 4.6L N/A. The 03/04 Cobra had the 32V 4.6L with an Eaton supercharger from the factory. The problem with the E36 is that ITS SLOW. My 99 Cobra would walk it all day from a dig, from a roll, in reverse, I don't care. Point is that this motor doesn't belong in a Mustang. Oh and when you try to call someone out you better know your shit dumbass.

[ZackMcLeish13]

the owner can do whatever he wants with his car

[19stangkid86]

Ay what conversions to the motor did you have to make to be able to put it in the mustang?

[bluestangGT2001]

u gotta even it out and put another turbo on the other side lol. nice car

[crazy4baseball47]

yup thats the sweet sound of a camaro ss... coming out of a mustang : /

[Pule3]

this is awesome cuz its something original you dont rly see

[Myhousecuz]

Its kinda like a transvestite now.

[twl2u87]

thumbs down.

[thecooldirtrider]

yet another mustang runined

[93VR4SPOOL]

now the mustang is happy now that it has a real V8 unlike that shitty 4.6 pos

[twistymcslide]

that thing needs some header wrap .

[edclarkiv]

just for the record. All 4.6 2 valves were iron blocks. All 32 valve 4.6s were aluminum until the the 03/04 Cobras.

As an owner of both a Turbochraged 99 Mustang GT and and a 99 LS1 T/A I can say "Cool". Was it as much work as I think?

[greatsk8erX]

why an ls1?

[GroundZ28ero]

because ls1's are the shit.

[wildmike1000]

my s10 , got a real motor now 302 ford so fuck you

[XbenX0101]

@wildmike1000 your ignorance is overwhelming

[Drmand3]

you sir...are a dumb ass....ls1 = corvette engine....by chevy.....he just has a mustang shell.....smh

[zoneracer]

@wildmike1000 302 is a out dated pice of crap

[mikeyjj012]

Mustangs got a real motor now!!

[Ifukturmom1]

I bet all them mustang fans are ballin their eyes out lol

[bigcooper54]

not me im lovin it wouldnt mind doing that to my 94 v6

[Nettikturbo]

Awesome setup.

[kraden18]

thats just stupid. and 10'4 turbo proves that.

[chevymnz71]

the lq9 would be nice

[canespride83]

that was an lq4 in this car. those are the iron 6.0L truck block, so you woudlnt see the really lightweight aluminum true LSx motor's weight loss. however, they still might be lighter than those heavy, giant ass 2V 4 cam modular motors lol.

[sniffmapoopi]

Na all the engines from 98+ in the GT's are aluminum.

[thehowl666]

@sniffmapoopi you mean 05 and up

[sniffmapoopi]

Actually i was wrong it was 2001+ all the engines for the mustang Gt come out of the romeo plant which use aluminum blocks. But in 1999-2000 they came from the Windsor plant which uses cast iron.

[thehowl666]

@sniffmapoopi no they are iron blocks always have been . the only mustangs to use aluminum blocks were 2001 cobras and mach 1s and now 05 and up.

[todd197349]

this is stupid you dont do this

[GiffinsPerformance]

to late, already done and runs 10.4's

[nightkrewmustang]

@GiffinsPerformance or you could have stroked a 2V with a bigger turbo and ran low 9's.

[BLAKBIRDPRODUCTIONS]

why not??? i would,,,,atkeast this mustang owner is doing somthing right

[iZ28LS7]

The way Stangs' should be! LS crate motors FTW!

[AssGasketBill]

Too fucking cool!

[jimbo2351]

Awesome car and a great swap, congrats. btw, the yellow accents need to go.

[snapperfive0]

could you tell me what all you had to do to fit a ls1 in there along with the t56 i have been wanting to do this swap for awhile but cant find any info

[1flynlow]

lots of mustang owners finally seeing the light now? lol

[marzenamloda]

I've never seen a dirtier shop in my life!!!! Typical for Chevy guys. What a waste of a good mustang.

[BLK03MODULAR]

Exactly what i was thinking!!

[03duramaxdslguy]

more like what a waste of a good engine on that POS mustang.

[bonezy09]

What a waste? He just made that car from a POS to a god car with an actual good motor. This guy is the smarest guy alive who built this car.

[xZZxTakedown]

I know, the 2V in those cars were absolute shit. Not that you still CAN'T make power from a 2V, but yeah an LS1 is better IMO.

[ChrisMurphy15]

stfu faggot. go clean your room

[25stull]

cool car

[verz22]

looks better in there then the mod motor.

[7camaro7]

that's awesome, I want to put an ls1 in my wife's '00 gt. Your's still sounds overall like a stang too! sleeper!

[HaF519]

wow thats sneaky lol. I have the LQ4 in my 02 camaro and I have a rear mount turbo for it waiting for spring. What intake maf and throttle body did you use?

[GiffinsPerformance]

no maf

Stock LS1 TB

[hypermite01]

Now you need to take it to a Mustang show with your camera,then post it "Car show brawl"

[scottb8907]

Why would you put LS1 in the title and LQ4 in the description?

[GiffinsPerformance]

So it would show up in searches. LS1 is a more common search then LQ4. LS Based motor anyways...

[scottb8907]

Ah, well youtube has the "tags" feature so that you can ad words such as ls1 to the video file without changing the title and it will show up in searches regardless.

Nice car though.

[GiffinsPerformance]

Thanks!

The tags are a secondary search. Turbo LS1 in a title will show up before Turbo LS1 as a tag

[Nemeancb]

You are my hero.
