you guys are outf*ckinstanding! thanks!
and as far as the foxbody comment... holy f*ckin sh*t! sorrrrry for not being the enlightened one! it was to my understanding that foxbodies were the 80s to early 90s mustangs but i guess i am terribly mistaken, after all i've never heard anyone refer to an SN95 or later as a "foxbody" but thanks anyway... much appreciated.
but for the rest of you mostly why i want to do the LS1 swap is just something different, before i got a stang i always preached how "everyone has a mustang" and i still do, now i preach more about "everyone gets the same mods" and what not. hey at least im not going for rice! chevy swap in a ford may be muscle car sin but at least im not ricing it out! could be worse!
last i remember the times have changed and it went from ford vs. chevy to american muscle vs. rice... just sayin!

EPIC FAIL "they're all foxbodies" first let me edgimicate you! Fox body refers only to FORD and is best known for mustang from 1979 until 2004 when mustang changed to the s95 platform. The camaro is an F body big difference! In order to do an engine swap, many things need to be done...trans needs to be replaced so it will match up with LS1 engine, engine bay needs to be altered for motor mounts location, electrical wiring redone.

SN95 = '94 to '04
S197 = '05+

My minions will not be kind to your failure and misplaced imagination of intelligence.

AJE sells kmembers/mounts for the ls1 in your car, not sure about headers, you need a computer system/wiring system if you don't go carb, for the guages i'd do the autometer/Florida5.0 for looks and simplicity...
