LS Swapped S197 Mustang PT.7 | Starting The Custom Exhaust

The LS swapped s197 mustang project is well underway. The goal for this project is to do this swap for cheaper than buying a 4.6 mustang of the same year, and to finish the swap in about two months. The LS swap was done using factory ford 4.6 motor mounts, and ls swap plates for pre-2005. Im using a 5.3 iron block LS mated to a cd009 manual transmission from a Nissan 350z using a Collins Adapter. The car was originally a V6, and I swapped in a ford 8.8 rear end to handle the power.

How do you plan on passing emissions?

[@chrismeeks3755]

Would the LS truck exhaust when mounted normal miss the body so you can run exhaust out the back?

When I had them on the engine, I believe the passenger side cleared without a problem, but the driver side header hit the steering shaft, but would probably fit if you bought a driver side aftermarket header that stayed closer to the block.

@@ark2002 thanks for answering! I have ran into that same problem swapping v8 in some other vehicles. Im watching your progress closely. Especially the wiring, I feel like that would be the most tedious part of this swap. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and the way you’re making it all work.
