If any of you browse LS1tech, you might of stumbled upon this. I picked it up and it is fun as hell. I've got some plans for it in the near future. I'll start up a build thread when I get to it sometime.

Pics from the other guy but it hasn't changed:

That is awesome. Saw it when it was posted on Rickys Facebook. Buddy of mine has an LS and the only thing that could make it better is adding the LS1. Nice buy!

That's cool.

What trans? I'd have some issues with the swap if if was a dohc 5.4 or 4.6 stock. Being that it was at best the weird 3.9 v8 I'm OK with that swap :)

just found it on tech, looks like a clean swap. real clean interior. probably my pick for the coolest car you've had and you've had a lot

does it have a ford 8.8 rear?

Sweet ride I preferred the six cylinder over the v8 ford. Totally love it with an LS engine.

Jaguar V8. Its a 4.0 V8 (slightly smaller 3.9 to separate it from the Jag engine) out of the XJ and S Type. Good chassis, they almost used the DEW98 for the Mustang.

It's got the Ford 8.8 rear I believe with a Cobra LSD. Has a t-56 trans. The car is just awesome to drive. The swap is very clean and done well it seams. Got a few chassis bugs to work out (ford side lol) then its on to more power :)

Also, this means I got something to compete in the IAF race. I got 2 manuals, maybe Ed can borrow one lol

Thats sweet! Does it have the little things like PS, AC, cruise, etc. still working?

Cruise is the only thing it doesn't have. Otherwise yes all the other stuff works!

Trevor goes domestic again; awesome. whats the plan for it?

Oh the plans are just more power, but not going to tell anyone what kind of power. I probably won't be building the motor so i'm limited to like 550whp. It makes around 360whp right now and it's fun as hell so I don't need much more. It's awesome having luxury with a good motor. Yea I could of got a CTS-V, but I think this car looks MUCH better and it's all simplified. The motor is so easy to work on and nothing is in the engine bay but the vitals. It's nice.

I saw one a few years back with a terminator and t56 but I honestly like the idea of an LSx more. As a Ford guy I'm ashamed of this. How does the interior look with a stick? I'm curious how that all went together.

Well the good thing is it's got a lot stronger rear axle than a gen one ctsv. I bet the ls1 is actually lighter than the 3.9 jag engine so thats a plus. Car like that would be nice with a screw type blower for sure. Not sure of the room left for a turbo, but anything is possible ;)

You can get the car in a manual so nothing looks out of place. Looks stock!

Shit, I didn't even know that. I knew you could get the V6 Jags in a stick but I didnt know you could with the LS.
