My Weekend at Willow Springs

Did you have to change to 1/2 inch fuel line from fuel tank? Is the stock line big enough to supply that engine?

The inlet to the fuel injection rail is 3/8 so that is what I went with. The line on the stock tank is just a bit smaller but the length is so short I don't think it will be an issue. I installed an in-tank pump but I don't see any reason why you couldn't use an external fuel injection pump.

Good to hear that i´m not the only one driving a chevy powered Pantera - mine is a 383 stroker that is supposed to be in the 500hp range .
But i´m still thinking of reversing the engine swap !

keep on going Dan

Excellent work sir! If I were to ever think of swapping my motor again the LS would be on the list of possible candidates. They are excellent motors and parts are easy to come by. Your swap looks great. I look forward to seeing more.

Great engine swap!!, I am following in your footsteps kinda, I am installing the ls2 in mine. I have rethought the 3 valve 4.6 for the huge gain in cubic inch ablility, sound, performance etc.
I am curious did you need a new oil pan or did you cut your crossmember in pantera and which bellhousing did you use?.

I didn't change the pan. I cut out the crossmember and made a bolt in aluminum crossmember. The Bellhousing was purchased from Kennedy Engineering in Palmdale, Calif. I have a photobucket page of the whole process.

Perfect swap, I was thinking the same thing, but different ls. If you take this one, you don't need electronics beside a MSD stand-alone kit, nor any problems with an intake.
