Default bought me another toy

I bought myself another toy yesterday and it needs engine work,a 1997 Mustang with a bad engine called rod through the block.I plan on having an LS1 put in place of the 4.6 which it has.I wanted to do this to another Ford.Luckily one of father's good friends,Lenny has done a couple and the car goes to him tommorrow.Already bought an used LS1 out of a 2000 Camaro with the transmission and it will be pulled out tommorrow with no cutting.I already have a 1984 Mustang with a 350 in it,have ticked off a few Ford fanatics.I tell them Ford tough with Chevy stuff and this is one way of making a Ford faster,drop in a Chevy.

I like you're thinking, 'Built Ford Tough with Chevy Stuff'. Can never have too many toys.

Is Turtle ever going to come out of his shell?

I don't have time taking pictures and have really bad luck with these new cameras.The 1997 Mustang is green with an automatic.Told my father this and agrees with me.I admit I do have a couple friends that are Ford fanatics and said I ruined a Ford,my 1984 mustang.Going to tell them I am going to have an LS1 installed in this 1997 mustang.

I paid $2,500.00 for the used LS1 and the 4L60E transmission still bolted together.The LS1 has been upgraded already,seen the car it came out of on the spot and heard it run.Ran good with no noises,quiet.I was thinking crate engine,I wanted a LS1 instead.I am a diehard Chevy fanatic and there is a reason why.I was brought home in a Chevy from the hospital after I was born and my father knew I was going to be this way.He was right and never chewed me out.
