Uh... not really. Looks horrible IMO, plus I'm sort of that guy who would prefer they stuffed a Ford motor/drivetrain in it.

Part of me has always wanted an LS swapped Newedge Mustang, but it just didn't seem practical with c5 prices getting so low. What I really want is an LS RX-7. I would get so much hate from the local import crowd. haha

If it works for him, great. It's not something that I would want to do.

Sorry, what a terrible thing to do to a Mustang. I'm not a fan of any of it, especially body styling.

Same here . I see so many 20s - 30s fords with Chevy engines , I know there’s so much stuff for that swap but I like to see ford engines in them

I'm surprised the engine isn't rejecting the car...

A late model Ford engine is to wide to fit in anything that wasn't built around it.
The LS engine is compact and light enough to fit in almost anything making a viable option for using a modern engine in an older car.

Are corvette owners really so boring that they don't think it's cool?

I have a buddy chopping up a 65 mustang right now, ls1 powered was one of their first options but that changed.

Ive done a lot of LS powered mustangs, it's so close to a Windsor in design anyhow.
