    It'd be cool to see a modern 4.8/5.3 swapped in...or even better imo, a 4.3/4l60-e combo with 3.08 rear for ubber mileage and pretty decent performance...

    The latter 4.8's at 295hp would be pretty stout.


    Ever consider just random, non gm swaps? Toyota 4.0? Jeep 4.0? Jeep 2.4 (150hp) or even later 3.8's (202hp) from the wranglers (rwd configuration). Ford 3.8, 4.0, or 4.2 SOHC v6 could fit the bill too. Mopar 3.7 v6 (210hp) or even 4.7 SOHC (230-310hp) perhaps? All rwd drive available and sure to be found in wrecking yards. Sure, harder than a GM swap, but when has harder ever deterred you?

    If you do an off-brand swap, just stay away from the 4.6's/5.4 fords....belch!

    Maybe a cummins 4bt?

    Funny you should post this, I have seen several of the 3.9 Jag motors on ebay. The last few years were 280hp, wonder if that alternator would fit as it sits on engine. Love to see it and measure it while in your car.

    4.8L ... are you talking about their v12 from back in the day? lol I'm assuming you mean the 4.6 dohc out of the Mark viii? Continental DOHC 4.6 wouldn't work unless you wanted it fwd.

    Mine is the early version so lower power... but feel free. We picked up another car on Sat, so the LS will be gone sooner or later. The engine/trans is the only thing thats really any good in it. Body is junk, needs a clockspring, DCCV, sway bushings, and the rad fan makes a ton of noise (Its converted to electric but with no temp control on the fan and I have a spal 16" I'll throw in for $75)

    So I'm serious when I say.. a grand takes it. Driver, with title.

    What ford motor had the spark plugs that kept coming out of the head? Or the ones that had the spark plugs buried under the intake?

    LT1 is in car, headers installed, slid motor back to firewall and relocated motor mounts. Installed higher stall S-10 factory converter so the 1397 stall is now 2200+. Modified crossmeber to double hump. Shortened drive shaft 3" and installed for the 4l60 trans. Confirmed it does have horrid 2.54 gear, thats next along with hopefully pull the B-body camshaft for an LT4 or better. The Roadmaster tank looks to be a drop in, had a 265lph new pump laying around Im gonna get in tank soon!
