hey, why not get the best of both worlds...put a LS1 in a fox? i saw a notch on ebay that had that done and went for 15K reserve and sold at 17K i believe.
That sounded like a good idea at first, but I wouldn't be able to bring myself to drop a chevy into a ford- it's just not right. That does have a ton of potential though.

I'm actually thinking about doing the same thing myself. A h/c swap can give you 400+rwhp, you will still get good gas mileage, and the interiors on them are 10,000x better then a fox interior.

All I owned before this '92 was V6 manual Taurus SHOs. It takes a solid weekend to change a clutch on one of those, and you have to completely remove that huge intake manifold to get at the plugs- not fun. After that, how bad could a Trans Am be?

Why not get a terminator? If i wanted something new and fast that would be the only option for me!

you could also just go with an 03-04 Mach. those are faster than the trans ams, they look better, and they are still a ford

Terminators and Machs are too expensive for me. I guess I still am looking for cheap speed, but the LS1 cars just have so many advantages.
