Kevin,

I put a LS engine in a 67 Cougar. Details here:

I have full TCP front suspension and also a TCP rack conversion kit. The rack kit makes life easier.

Just like with Andrew's Cougar mentioned above, you've got plenty of room in a '69 engine bay for an LS (without having to chop shock towers, like in an earlier Mustang). With that in mind, you're not likely to find a "kit" without doing something like a Mustang II crossmember--that's probably as "off the shelf" as you'll get.

If you really want it, be the guy who does the research (measurements/angles/bolt patterns), then tells the fab guy exactly what you want. It should be relatively simple. You've got some great fab guys local-ish to you, like DuSold and Vorshlag. Vorshlag puts LS engines in BMWs and Scions, so your Mustang (or just some applicable one-off parts) would be a piece of cake for them . . .

Oh, wait . . . there's a guy on Pro-Touring.com who did a '69 or '70 Mustang LS conversion with a Griggs Racing subframe, but that's not bolts, and you've already bought stuff . . .

I remember you had the 70 Firebird Vince Mini tubbed. Great looking car.

It looks like you have adapted just fine to the open plains. Any cool stretches of road near you?

Chassisworks/Total Control just came out with this new front clip in several versions. They also offer LS mount options.

LS in an early Mustang, it can't be done!!! If you do decide to do it, be aware!!, the Mustang may puke out the first couple engines. LOL
