As above please folks ?

I think i may get shot if i put a GM motor in my Series One

Damn those Aussie V8 Supercars for giving me ideas

 

Don't mess about, just use an Ls!

 

didnt beefy look into this at one point ? maby he has some info

 

you want the engine they use in the ford gt and all manner of other ford yank machines they boost to silly power apparently too

 

the old equivalent would be the small block 302 or 351 winsor, also known as the 5.0 or 5.8, but if you want modern, alloy block and 32v heads you want the modular 4.6 or 5.4, i'm building a very high hp 5.4 at the moment, with a big supercharger or twin turbo 1000bhp is a drop in the ocean and not a lot of money to build, if you just want 300bhp in a very revvy engine get a cobra 32v 4.6, early ones were factory 305hp, from 99 they went to 320hp, and in 03/04 they were supercharged 390hp.

 

Rich i have aa ls1 with ls2 heads and a few nice bits it make 390 bhp ! also have a 6 speed tremec just sat here

 

normal 4.6 32v with 5 speed

supercharged 4.6 with 6 spped

Do you think it'll fit Mart ?

How tight is it in the Twins Escos ? ?


Maybe i could put some Ford stickers on it

 

I just want the noise if I'm honest

Ideally it would be an all alloy variant, simple with no turbo/supercharger.




Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

sorry i meant i have a 400 kilo windsor v8 sat here im sure martin will have a ls1

 

Yes it will fit, the LS range is quite compact.... The 32v Ford is very wide in comparison.

 

looks quite a tidy install,he said it fitted quite easy

theres also a 3dr thundersaloon running an ls1 that was at ford fair

 

What ecu do you run them on ? Please don't say T6

 

Mine is going on OMex 710 but there is nothing stopping you using the original Chevy ECU.

 

oh my god how much cutting am i doing on the series one to get that in lol

 

cut th bulk head out and vut the front off nt sit the engine back and tube the front end !! a weekends work i recon

 

Its Martooon's fault............he said it would fit

 

Richie, stupid question but isn't it worth finishing the KA first??

 

I know, I know

Its too cold at moment ........................... well thats my excuse

 

shut up this is rich your asking to be sensible

 

hes a Submariner, he doesnt do things logically its all the radiation and spending too long in a metal tube with other men

 

OW i love the sound of A V8.

 

The LS engine does sound nice

ooh does that mean you'll practice the aussie flick turn then? lol

 

It's actually not the best sounding V8 due to it's weird firing order but they do still sound mean. Desperate to get me Firenza started.

 

Watched it again today

 

yeah ive looked into this ,


frankly with out spending some big cash on a alloy block , theres no off the shelf ford v8 to rival the ls series engines,

windsors will fly in , the cobra lumps do fit as tinm garringtons got on in his escort ,

the 32 valvers are stupidly wide !!


still considering an ls tbh , considerd the yb for a year then pull it out , flog it and get a ls ,


jay you got a tremec ?????

richie , theres off the shelf sumps for the gm series engines to relocate the pick up and sump to the rear if your going the 2wd engine bed route


drop me a pm fella

 

 

Told you to fit this, stay clear of those shonky yb's

 

lol if i blow my yb , it wont be getting rebuild lol !!!

 

Some good info on this thread regarding different sumps and external dimensions for the LS engine

My small block Ford will have cost me more than the price of a good LS engine by the time it's finished and will make less power bugger

4.6 cobra 32v. Alloy block and alloy heads as standard. very easy and cheap to tune!!
I can measure the width as got 3 builds on the go at the mo and I'm sure Martin will measure his LS for you, I'd personally go with the easiest to get in the hole, Both can make great power and most people will only note that its a V8 rather than what brand it is
Martin's LS didn't appear to be much different in width to the ford modular.

The 302 small block is a nice size engine but the CAST steel block makes it pointless for an S1..

 

I just love the brutal simplicity of the design of the LS engines (ie single cam in block and 2V per cylinder) and the way it is combined with awesome strength related technology like 6 bolt mains.

Its got everything you want/need and nothing that you dont.

Just totally epic.


Ask any Yank and they'll tell you all the quick fords are chevvy powered anyway!

Im quite familiar with the modular lumps, really good engines, I just prefer the LS range.

I really like the lexus V8 too, especially for how it can be made to REALLY rev so easily (like 9K isnt a problem)

 

My chevy 350 small block in my Sierra . Simple with a big carb and distributor it only needs three wires in the whole engine loom..

 

I'd prefer the extra wires and all that goes with them

 

What is the Ford equivalent of the LS1 V8 ?


CVH mate

 

never forget the CVH is a HEMI
