Zach1647545520 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I give props to whoever built that car. That's one of my top favorite cars with an Lsx in it. And the cherry is that it's turboed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.1cutlass Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) If you are going to build a car you might as well use a good motor(5.3) instead of that pos 5.0 Edited January 11, 2009 by 3.1cutlass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 although I do not like aje, the do make the kmember kit that you can order a motor mount with it to virtually bolt any motor into the fox. They make it simple, I just have had bad product supply from them. That way really anyone can do the swap and its mostly just bolt on that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
