modular fox vs LSX fox

[Junkie]

Considering the ls motor has been out since the late 90's

The 5.0 motor just a year, I can give you a list of new 5.0's 700-900 h.p. range
All you do is bolt a blower on!

The local ones I've seen at the same power level my LSA is at blew up.

[crapstang]

Yeah if you buy it new. How much is an ls2 or ls3 new from gm? id be willing to bet its upwards of 4k+... I have seen used 5.0 coyote sell for 3k and less with low miles. Remember they put the 5.0 in the trucks also, and a lot of trucks for that matter.. i would still go windsor. You could build a 408, with good compression, good heads, and custom cam for less then 4k that will make 500 hp to the tires through a 5 speed. Hell i have less then 2k in my 347 that makes over 400 to the tires with lots of room for improvement..

I need to run you sometime.

Off topic...were you at the cruise in the GTR?

["MrEd"]

or sell it and buy a shell...not for 6 effing thousand though!

Like I said make me an offer.
You seem to have so much knowledge of what a car such as mine is worth.
Like i said keep the $1500 and fix your land yacht.

We have an almost brand new ctsv at the shop with the lsa pulled because the tips of the valve stems mushroomed after a cam install. Once we tore into the motor we found tons of things wrong. Cylinders were egg shaped, trunions in the rockers were already worn, etc. It was a ticking time bomb. Car has less then 10k on it if I remember right. Yours is just a freak! haha

Stock block 347? That scares me. I been that route before.
But yeah,I seem to come by the Ls motors,like you come by the new 5.0 stuff.

I made a few passes saturday. My best was a 7.9 at 93 mph with a 2.1 short time. Guess that is what I get for taking a road course car to a drag strip.

...me and major almost bought a fox built like yours with a fresh 5.0 (garbage, sell it for extra $$) for $1750, so I'm a lil bitter about paying more. Why I didn't buy it and hide it in the garage for it to be useless for a year, idk, but I'll talk it over. You better drop your price

[Baron Von Crowder]

I'm $320 into an aluminum DOHC 4.6 swap in my Fox. 50lbs lighter than the 302, and 300hp.

Ill be selling some parts and crushing the donar car, should be making money on the swap.

Someone please do that with an LSx.

I saw it in the far left bay while i was there.

Well I guess it seems to be a secret on how to do these swaps for $320.
Even in the Ls world it's gonna cost me some extra coins and I have everything....
