Default small block chevy in a mustang

I'm in the process of putting a small block chevy in my '93 LX. I've had to make all new motor mounts, a crossmember, power steering lines, and all the wiring and such. Would anyone be interested in this because my dad and I have made extras of all the custom parts we needed and can even get the headers that fit. If enough people like the idea of it we plan on making kits to sell with instructions and pictures to explain in detail how its done.

I wouldnt think it would be worth the cost of a kit. Why do that when you can mod 5.0?

Yeah I agree with Randy. There is just some stuff your not supposed to do. Hey if an import wants to Frankenstein a car have at it but I am not a of fan of domestics doing a Frankenstein project. My friend put a Chevy 350 in an old *** Datsun 280 zx but that is cool though. He took a POS and transplanted serious power into it. But don't take a good powerplant like the 5.0 and replace it with the 350 or vice versa.

no he has hopes and dreams but its not like hes gonna sell enough of his kits to make a living on. ive switched a ford motor over to a dodge frame and made an amazing off road truck but i dont think that alot of people would do that it was just a crazy idea i had with enough time and parts laying around to rig some thing up. actully the dodge didnt have an engine or transmittion but had a 8 inch lift and a set of 40s on it. and the ford got T-boned and messed every thing from the cab back up. but kid its not worth your time to make kits to try to sell

Hardly the first ever, I seen dozens of Fox/Chevy swaps. Leave the guy alone and let him make his fast the way he wants.
