dart block = price of a used ls1

a tube k member for a fox 4.6 swap is all you need.

either way you go, you'd be swapping the k to save weight and get more clearance for other underhood shenanigans so the price of the k is inconsequential to the build.

I'd do the LS2 with an AJE crossmember,but I'm kinda biased.

Wouldnt it be simpler to buy a GM car and not worry about the swap? Find a Camaro. Firenerd, Corvette and mod it.

^^^^^This +1. I still don't know why guys get bent out if shape about mix and match swaps. I happen to really like Mustangs and Chevy engines so I combined the two. Logical right? OP good luck with your build.
