actually now hes not sunburnt and tired hes quite liking the idea,

we worked out some figures and evne to go the v8 route is massivly cheaper then the specced yb i wanted ,

450 hp 420 ftlb , unstressed and that 1000% relaiable and would take my abuse all day long

thats befor you start talking bout uprated cams and superchargers lol




beef

 

I can supply you with a brand new in crate mustang cobra V8 at a nice price.

 

hummm, drop me a pm , what size and output is that bud ???


thing with the mustang lump is size , the ls series are compact and ally


didnt see you at ford fair bud

boothy amost got a kick in the testicles in your place lol

 

well get a bloody move on then

my 3dr is getting impatient

 

ahh the gud part is mate , the ls requires no mods to the shell lol

so i wont hold yours up lol ,

simply has to pop bk to k's for a day or so when the engine arrives lol

 

ill get all the info of it over to you later bud as its me mate Tims

Ok,will let you off reagrds FF when all we heard was LS1 this LS1 fuckin, that

Glad you have made a decision,let's face it this was never gonna just another S1 coss......er... What will it be now S1 'vette ?

Crack on mate

Can you let me know regards the trigger kit bud?

Ta

 

lol i like that daz s1 vette

 

Mmmmm V8!

 

ok so been offerd a 4.6 svt cobra motor but there only around 300 ish at stock tune ,


still kinda swayed to the ls2 atm ,

but ill have to look into the svt engines when i get bk from work in the morning ,


anyone savvy on svt motors ??

 

oh yes mate that'll be the bollocks, mate of mine has a monaro vxr with the 6.0 ls2 excellent engine

same ford dont do abit more to get power from the v8s

 

think chip is the man to talk about that, although i remember martoon wanting to put one into his firenza

 

glad to see your still on it mate ,but its never going to be as good to look at as a cossy .the ls1 & ls2 are very messy to look at but they do deliver the goods

 

Yer, there the bollocks! you should buy one

Night shift? go do some fuckin work then

 

Yes but you were not fast enough to catch me

 

they do actually have covers andy that hide all the coildpacks ect , and give it a clean look


just neither for the two escos's ran covers lol



beef

 

Hey Beefy
Just had a quick flick through your project, all 31 pages LOL

Top work Beef, didnt realise how much work you have put into it, gonna look the buisness and love the idea of a V8 S1 !!

 

Thats going to be mental mate! Why are you going for the ls2 out of interest? instead of one of the others in the ls range?

Rob,

 

hello beefy my old mate i found this engine builder on the net you might be interested they are called texas- speed .com they ship all over the world.

 

beefy if you go to wikipidia type in ls1 v8 engine and a wonderful piece of knowledge comes up hope it helps

 

is there something in the water up your way beef with ls1's & 2 , i was talking to jacko at ford fair about his mates castrol mk1 escort running rover v8 and he said he was trying to convince his mate to put an ls1 in it lol

 

the gen 4 ls2 variant is the 6.0 mate , 400 out the crate iirc ,

the ls1 isnt really the best engine , after speaking to a few folk on this if your going to go ls , needs to be at least an ls2

much appriceated fella , already read up on that lol


yeah aparently jackos been given a ls1 and a supercharger kit off some one


id like friends who give away 4ks worth of engine !!



andys mk 1 is the nuts , !! deserves a proper v8 imo !!

 

this is gonna be a monster.

what about the ls400 engines as they are 4.0 v8 and much cheaper and avail in the uk for the price of a secondhand t34.

 

Cheers, good to know

I will try and find the link, but there is some nutter out there getting 1100BHP and over 1000 ft/lb's with a twin turbo setup on a (i think) LS6

Nutter

Rob,

 

couldn't find it but THIS link has another,

nearly 1000bhp at 12psi

I suspect the kill setting is a fairly accurate name lol



Rob,

 

If your squeezing one of these into your S1 then yes they do have covers! lol


I want one!!! lol

 

no chance fella, its a us v8 or no v8 lol , tbh i think my minds pretty set now ,


rob you have no idea lol , the yanks love these engines more than barack obama lol

hence why there at a premium , but you get what you pay for ,


the covers are ace , will give a super clean look to the bay ,


check out this

aps ls2 twin turbo setup , it relocates the turbos to the rear of the engine , making clearance ,







and how it looks under the bay of a gto




fuck me you could upset a few people with that eh !!!!


ok so for thge folks , who didnt go to ford fair and may be thinking what the fucks an ls2 -ls1

heres a couple pics of the cheesman motorsport escos running one




note the notch in the front panel , due to running a FAST 102 throttle body

there home build exhaust manifolds



and a pic of the underside , note the use of a modded 2wd front crossmember and standard no ps rack ,

the cm has to be modified to clearance the sump , hard to spot in the pics ,




and note the mod to stock ls sump , its had to be notched , me and daz aka cragrat and a good stare and reckon its around 60 mm to clearance the rack ,





but .........................



after a bit of research i found this




its a stock gm cast oil pan thas slimline at the front with a deeper rear section that should do away with the nessacary mods to both the sump and the rack ,





the parts of my yb are slowly coming bk together , should start assembly in a weeks time ,

 

beefy a v8 lol whats appening to the rear end then atlas ??

 

Moris minor

 

THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT MATE LS3

 

certainly make it diffrent from yb route and a better sound too

 

At last beefy you are seeing sense with the V8, as they are are bullit proof and can be modded for not a lot of cash compared to a YB, its one of the reasons I want to fit one in my cab when I have the money.

 

Beefy there is a lad over on Turbosport fitting an LS engine into a Escort.Plenty of info on the thread,here is the link http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthre...-ls1-in-Escort

 

Mad you Beefy, ive got a mate who knows quite a bit about these motors he has put one in an RX7

 

deffo the route to go imo

had a fone call eairler from a gent selling a full package here in the uk ,


unfortunately what the engine owes him and what i can import one for are quite away apart


plan is get the yb build and sold , and go from there !!!

 

them tags are great...lol

 

Interesting change in direction Beef


I'll be watching this closely
