Thanks man!
Just be aware, they are amazing platforms but they are not the "god" engine that it seems everyone claims they are to the point of getting legit angry when someone points out there are other viable alternatives.
I mean for an all aluminum NA build its hard to beat. When power adders start getting thrown into the mix I don't see the point unless you just want to be a unique and individual snowflake... which you won't be because this is becoming a VERY common swap. Once boost comes into the mix its just as cheap if not cheaper (no swap parts) to drop in a built teksid with some stage 2 or 3 PI heads/cams with 20+ psi and hello 700+hp. If you go 4V or the 2V TFS heads it can get really silly.

Well they also have the cast block ls motors...im looking at going N/A everyone in my mustang club just gave me sh!t out the ass..bad! haha saying they can make 500 rwhp on a stock bottom end 302 with jsut heads cam and intake...HA!
And OP here's a set of motor mount adapters that should work out well for you.
79 04 Mustang LS1 5 3L 6 0L Engine Swap 4 6L Adapter Plates Upr | eBay
and if your looking for an LS1 I Have one from an 04 gto,Swapped it out for a 421 Stroker.60K no noise

Rofl, I'd join a new club, sounds like you've got a bunch of real winners in that one. Yeah if you want to stay NA, its hard to really compete with a modular motor. With that said, I don't see why anyone would stay NA when a turbo/supercharged built modular will assrape just about anything you'll come across while retaining stock street manners and not requiring any swap parts.
But if you want to do the LSX swap there is so much support for it nowadays and hand holding walkthroughs out there that all the guesswork is gone. Plenty of places make swap K-members/headers and the LSX pretty much just drops in at that point. Hardest part is the computer but you can just run a standalone for that if you want.
Edit: LS3 turbo swap is a good deal for the guy doing it but unless one needs more than 700whp its much cheaper/easier to do the 2V

Pfft build a Fobra with an all aluminum Teksid for cheaper and have a stronger block to boot. 2V built teksid pushing 22 psi out of a turbo will get you 600-700whp all day on 93 octane.
If you for some reason need more power than that get some C heads and build a 4V.

Look up the guy called stangkiller on youtube..rapes mustangs all day long haha and yea dude if you have a price on that ls let me know! text me at 3363066865!
Why not just buy a car with an ls motor in it already??? Isnt that easier then putting it in a mustang?
Because the LS Cars are disgusting looking(Besides the corvette). I work on them all the time,Love the motors hate the way the cars look.
And one day he'll come up against a Mustang or something else that will hand his ass to him. Someone out there is always faster. I would have loved to see this guy go up against a few of the 9 second street legal turbo modulars that I've seen. Built autos, setup to go fast as *** in a straight line, 22+psi etc...

Haha hes a 10 second nitrous car street legal.
Really? sounds like he needs to step it up a bit we were running 9.90 in 1971
My next motor setup is going to be a 4l80e 408LS3 with an 88mm
re
Same route i was considering,but I concluded twin 6265 turbos would suit me better.My last turbo ls,I went with a 4l80,No complains
