I used to cringe at LS motors in a Mustang. Now I say why the fuck not! Can LS swap anything IMO. If you can have more power, reliability, less weight, and save money it just makes damn good sense!! I’d love to have an IRS in my Notch too! You got a bad ass ride my friend!🤘

[@guyderagisch4964]

After a certain point an LS swap makes financial sense. Building a high hp short deck ford becomes an equivalent cost to a swap once you go beyond a basic top end or turbo kit. Couple that with the cost of a trans swap T-5s kinda suck and it all makes sense.

[@vongdong10]

Love that foxbody interior. Nice, simple and very old school. It's blocky but looks so much cleaner than the 3rd gen.

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

@@seanjoseph6154 but with a aluminum 4 cyl and weight reduced for racing plus you can use any gm auto there is a swap kit already

[@Stealth_Rider91]

Okay okay okay, hold up. I'm going to stop you at 1:40. Coyotes are not BIIIIG motors compared to the LS1. The coyote weighs 444 lbs and a gen 2 which is what I have makes 435hp crank...your LS1 weighs 430 lbs and makes 345 crank. The gen 3 coyote makes 460hp. I think 15 pounds is acceptable for 115hp extra and a 7500 rpm redline. This swap is better over the old 5.0 but don't go thinking it's better than a coyote. The facts speak for themselves. The difference is a coyote costs $10k and you can get an LS1 for under a grand.

[@jalisurr]

Lol, this is an LS1 from 1998, there's lots of engines that make more power if you are willing to spend more. You could go LS3, which is down to 418 lbs and makes 430 crank if you get it out of a vette or camaro. Or for the same price as a Gen 3 Coyote crate engine you can get an LS3 crate engine with 525 crank.

[@Stealth_Rider91]

jalisurr - Could and if are cool words, but it's not so point invalid.

[@snappeddegree7]

I think he’s speaking in terms on actual physical space the engine takes up Ls motors are more compact because it’s a single in block cam so that makes the heads smaller. Vs coyote with quad cam and a lot bigger heads, just food for thought

[@lb9gta307]

The Coyote is 4" wider than the LS.

[@SuperSilvi1990]

It's the actual physical size of the coyote that keeps it from being swapped into most cars. The coyote is wider and taller than a LS. Plus you can literally spend 1k and make 430hp at the wheels with a ls1 na. 300 bucks you can make 380ish with just a cam. They are good engines just a little overused like most 90-2000s engines.

As a Mustang guy, I'd say this is an acceptable swap for every mustang from 1970 - 2011 lol

[@Stealth_Rider91]

You must not be a real Mustang guy because 2011 was the first year of the coyote which makes 420hp and is a far superior engine than an LS.

Nice it is a IRS he said out of a 04 Cobra. I'm Loving this setup

[@ryanmalin]

The IRS is great for grip driving. You can use it for drifting but without poly or delrin bushings, there is too much deformation or compliance with the suspension and the car becomes very unpredictable. Nice driving sir. This video was great! Thanks for sharing! Love the channel.

Recaros are out of a Mk2 VW GTi/GLi 16v. Nice seats but an off choice for a trackish car with a rollbar. Something fixed back with a sub strap hole to be able to run a 5/6 point harness would've been my choice

[@codyfeatherstone731]

There perfect to build drag racing cars

[@chrismoher5444]

The sn94 is better platform for the track with a irs swap. The sn94 only is only slightly heavier and this has to do with it being a more solid chassis. The fox is a wet noodle body flex for days.

I like this car. LS fox body is nothing new but the IRS makes it a cool package.

Foxbody is the big boys S chassis. They have just about every aftermarket part imaginable available. The 94-04 mustang stuff bolts right in to it. The 03 cobra gets you a great IRS.

Then that will last until governments and Mr Musk take our gasoline away. Chevy small blocks have always dominated the hot rod scene. You figure you guys would be use to it by now. It's only been like 70 years of stuffing csb's in cars that didn't come with them. I get that it's common, but it's reliable, inexpensive, and it works.

I love everything about it. Those Recaro seats are very similar to the ones in my Capri, and they was btw standard item on late S and 2.8i Capris over here in europe. Nearly all seats that are non Recaro, I either don't like them regarding look, or they simply don't fit me very well. Just got myself 04' Volvo V40 1 gen, and I'm not really sure if I like the seats or not. Not a lot of side support and the seat cushion is a bit on the short side. But it was cheap :-)
