i've heard of a project called "project sniper" where they put a Viper engine into an SN-95.

and im sure there's been other people who have put chevy engines in our cars too. honestly, i feel that if you want another motor, just buy another car with that motor. less problems, easier, etc etc. -- for example, if you want an LS1, buy a WS6.

Theres a recent hot rod article with they're drags where someone brought a 96 with a cummings (I think) diesel that ran around 9's

Too much work for too little gain. There's no reason a modular can't be built to do the same thing an LSX would do.

I tend to agree with that a drastic engine swap is rarely worth the effort.

But to answered the Op's question it has been done, there are several turbo LSX swapped New edge mustangs floating around.

And I know of at least 1 with a Mazda 13b in it.

the only motor i would consider swapping in is an lsx, preferrably an ls2 mated with a t56 or th350/400, which can be done for about the same price as a fully built, s/c 4.6 but be quite a bit lighter and have some more potential with less cost for parts. BUT it there will many less headaches sticking with a built/FI 4.6

built ford tough with chevy stuff!!!! lol

This is one that a friend of mine owns. A its a 760 cubic inch custom Chevy big block 5 stages of nitrous and a 2 speed power glide. It started its life as a DSG v6 and now it runs low 5 in the 1/8mile.

With all due respect, because I like you as a poster... this comment just shows that you have no idea what an LSX can do, and how it can do it

not many people on this site do, id put money on it that syxnerd does (could be wrong tho). like i said if done right, itd be about the same price as a built/FI 4.6 but with quite a bit more capability and should be a ton faster at the track
