HOW TO LS SWAP YOUR S197 FOR 4K 👀 

Oh man i want this so bad. Working Mustang 4.0l, 4.6L 2005-09 5sp are so cheap $3-8k . And blown engine was are even cheaper $1k-4k. To piss off ford purists while having a reliable ls is pure 👌

I can't believe how much room is in that engine bay with that ls. Amazing.

I have a 2006 4.0L v6 mustang. I have rear window aluminum louvers and black 20inch rims. I have those side window louvers as well. Basically my mustang looks veryyyy fast and ITs ALL STOCK. I just got gapped by a 2023 Toyota landcruier or highland which had like 270hp maybe or something. Long story short, this is why I am here right now.

Excellent video sir, I was curious as to whether I can still use wipers, hvac, etc after an LS swap.

Also according to dyno tests on my engine... with afr heads, btr stage 2 cam, pistons for 11.5:1 CR... the truck intake made more power than the MSD and FAST intake lol which seems to be replicated on allt of RU-vid dyno vids.. hopefully my pricey learning curve saves yall money.

I bought a cd009. That trans takes the cost up by 600. Trans is 700, adaptor was 400, slave, master, pedalset and lines brought total for trans and all to 1600. Swaps not done yet tho which is why im here lol

Saw your Mustang on the road today near Deptford. It sounds AWESOME!

Just earned another subscriber !!

I have a 4.0 mustang sitting around as well as a 5.3 gmc retiring soon.. 🤔

lol, That chevy small block looks smaller than the V-6 that comes with the car. Matter in fact, even makes the car look bigger. I think I will drop the LT 1 from the 1990's. Gonna need it from the Camero with a 5 speed. I saw they had the T5 on them. And I use a T5. I don't have a automatic, just the 4.0.

So if your just bolting up the engine to a stock trans, it should be alot cheaper?

Big question for me is and im doing a 408 w in my roush 05 manual what all does the body module control windows still work anything need to be concerned with also wont be needing airbags and some other crap but yeah and no one is really telling me what will happen

How did you mount the gas pedal? Did you have to fab a base plate to bolt it up in the OEM location? FWIW, the Watson Racing pedal is really too tall to be useful because if you use the intended throttle cable position at the top of the pedal arm, the cable goes right trough the position of the windshield wiper. If you use ANY of the lower holes, you don't get full throttle.

Were you able to get all the factory gauges to work? I was wanting to do this swap on mine but would like the factory gauges to still work with the swap

I don’t know if you have emission testing but if so how would you be able to pass emissions? I’m looking in to LS swapping my car any help would be appreciated

Can you give me some more details on your driveshaft please? Thanks for all the info! I’ve got everything done except the driveshaft!

With a little help from your links and local deals I'm about ready to toss her in and fire her up. I have the fuel lines, standalone harness, sloppy best cam, valvesprings, lsxr intake, 102mm dbc throttle body, trans cooler,ls mounts, 4k stall converter, powerglide, powerglide mount, running dbc 5.3, head studs, head Gaskets, gt45 turbo, intercooler, 8.8, probably more I haven't mentioned. Really just seeing what the local tuners want as far as Injectors, each gives a different story. Looking to bolt everything in this weekend and make driveshaft measurements

Just got a subscriber! What’s the wheel and tire setup on the mustang in your video? Will it handle the LS?

I'm wanting to do same swap. Could you go in to details about the drive shaft and rear end? Thanks

Is it possible to plumb the air conditioner? Thats the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger.

will it fit perfectly on a 2011 V6 mustang??

Henry Ford crying somewhere in the heavens

What the pro’s vs cons of getting the k member or not getting it and are you running the stock radiator and cooling system?

Id be interested in comparing terminator vs fitech. They both have similar tune on the go features. I think my fitech has more features... not sure. But i would like to see them to head to head. I was waiting before i asked tho... what headers did u use? Cuz... thats where im stuck lol tired of ordering shit just to try, and finding theyre not gonna work then reselling on egay or marketplace.

What if we have the V6 model? Will the motor mounts still work?

I heard something about those adapter plates only lining up on 2 holes. Is that how it’s supposed to be?

Can I put a 5.3 th400 in without having to beat up the trans tunnel and would it still shift properly?

do i need different swap plates, motor mounts, or k member listed in the video if the car was originally a 4.0?

What about carb swap on a N/A setup?

Was this car originally a v6 ? And how did you get the exhaust headers to fit

also do stock 5.3 truck headers fit in the mustang?

Do you have to get terminator x or can you use ls wiring harness?

What exhaust manifolds are you running?

Can I use the stock t3650 trans from the gt ?

What is the exact engine & trans

are there ls to 4.0 swap plates??

The hardness says ls1 on link will it still work with a gen 3 5.3????

Would the factory transmission work? Do they make an adapter plate for it?

stock motor mounts on motor?

Where’s your shop?

Do you have to get terminator x or can you use ls wiring harness?
