Engine Swaps

[JerseyStang07-Brian]

I'd like to see if anyone here has done an engine swap. Let's get all the details; what engine did you start with, what did you swap in, your reasoning for the switch, modular vs nonmodular, etc. Put it all out there for discussion and please respect others opinions.

Most importantly :worthlesspics (at least to me) so post all pics you have or can find!

Started with a stock 1992 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 5-speed and opted to swap in a Dart 351 based motor with a small turbo backed by a 2-speed power glide.
Original plan was to put together a mild street car with a 351 and turbo with a manual but that quickly changed...
Reason for swap- lower E.T.s

def want pics!
