First off, good to know you are keeping busy Cris! Hopefully I will run into you at SEMA.

Its a little sad to see the Ford motor go, but someone has to stir the pot right!

Looks like those are Dynatech camaro headers? You got tons of room in there now!

Just out of curiosity (and I know this is way off topic but bare with me), how much bondo do you usually end up using when you smooth a firewall? How thick of a pass of bondo is acceptable for something like that? I lined mine all up and spent A LOT of time making sure it was straight and I have made sure to tack around the edges rather slowly to avoid warpage. Well, it warped, I don't know how I ended up doing that.

How do you avoid warping such a large flat area?

We did this LS conversion in 2 weeks... My crew was busting ass to get it done! We just felt that we would not have gotten the Ford motor rebuilt in time..

Looks to be right at home

All I know is that I am gonna have a bunch of fun showing up to LS Fest next year in a Mustang!!

The day Late model Fords give me bottom end TQ & CI.. I will have no problem using Ford engines in my Mustangs..

Remember.. Greg owns a Ford Hot Rod with a Chevy engine!
