Here's a 95% complete project I've been working on for the past 3 months or so.

I just dont understand it lol. Built ford tuff with chevy stuff. Dont get me wrong, I have been a chevy guy since day one. But then again I have always wanted a notchback and now I have one. But why would you cross breed them lol. Put the motor back in the camaro. Everyone is going to think a camaro or vette is going to be flying by them and then they are going to see a msuatng lol. I dont know. Just me. For all the money and time spent doing that you could have kept it FORD. But hey least you didnt go Tokyo drift on us and drop a rice cooker motor in there lol.

Sick build man.
you cross breed them because LS1 engines are really cheap for the power potential, buying an aftermarket ford block and building it to the same power level would be a lot more costly. Not saying i'd put an LS1 in my Mustang but there is reasoning behind it beyond just trying to **** off the hardcore ford guys.
And built Ford tough is meant for their trucks, nothing tough about my Mustang lol.
