Re: V8 swapped Conquest
I figured everybody would say "LS1". I was wondering if there was anybody local that currently has one or used to have one. I am looking for some insider information.
A LS1 would be great. It will just take me that much longer to get the funds together for an EFI swap. Those bad boys are not cheap.

Re: V8 swapped Conquest
The powerplant isnt really the issue. I am trying to find somebody who has done this. It would be nice to save time on the little things that hold you up.
I can get my hands on a mildy prepped 302 for $600 right now. That is bloody cheap. If I decide to go that route then for less than $2k I should have all the parts.

A Ford 302 and Mustang manual trans are way cheaper and easier to find. I know this isnt going to be free. I dont really want to drop 4-5 grand on an engine, trans, harness and ECU.

Re: V8 swapped Conquest
I have had a few 350/toyota(I know its different) swaps and all I'm saying is the little stuff adds up really quick. I just don't want you thinking that you are going to to throw the bare minimum into this swap and expect maxim outcome out of it.Now that being said I wish you the best of luck.
