Why hell would you LS swap. Run an MSD 6LS box and a Holley throttle body fuel injection system on a 4bbl LS intake. If these are the "high end" parts all your doing is paying for somebody's poor planning. Surley it would have made more sense to get a Terminator X if you didn't want to deal with swapping the factory ECU/ect.

And correct me if I'm wrong but i see Vampire fangs on the bottom of that rear. Did he really leave the 7.5 in there? Should change the rear cover with one that says front toward enemy.
Awww! I hope mine doesn't explode. I guess I should start looking for an 8.5".

I have a rebuilt 7.5 behind my 403 (for now). Im not saying its going to go kablooey right now but if you drive it hard and launch with sticky tires then yeah its gonna go boom. All debate on whats best and pros and cons aside, someone on here in the for sale section has one all rebuilt for sale. Price seems decent.

Thanks... I understand I would need to have my shaft shortened [again] for the 8.5".

EDIT: I can get a new ford 9" or 8.8" for $2k...

Or what about the third brake light riding backseat?!?!
Well duh, how will the driver know if the brake lights work if you can't see them coming on.
