Putting an LS engine in an Au is the same as putting a TS body kit on a poser pov pack FORTE in my eyes

ok i think your realy stiring now but hey ill go along with it, how about a quad turbo toyota lexus v8 in the AU thats different.

wouldnt stir that up but a holden engine, make me wanna chuck,

my uncle ran a 12.84 down quarter mile in his 05 ba xr8 ute , with exhuast setup and flash tuner, 5 spd manual, lowerd with 18 inch mags, the paint which changes in different angles,

not that hard to get a decent time

i know its off topic, but WTF does paint that changes have to do with power/speed/ quarter mile time???

on topic.... alot of you guys have some serious problems about a small thing, if you want an LS powered AU do it! i personally think it'd be kinda cool, me personally i want an RB30DETT powered EFII i dont give a flip what others would think if it was my money...
why not research a bit more engine sizing and what not and see if would actually fit and not foul anything before contemplating anything else.

Any thoughts?

Mate If you have $$$ and the Right Mind anything is Possible
Even if you or anyone ends up doing it ... You probably find that it wasn't even worth it. You're mates most probably end up giving you more S*&^% Jokes.

What would you call the Car ? Loyalty ?
As True blue Enthusiast last thing you wanna do is Kill its sole.
Perhaps being Different engines they like different Mods.

well their will be a lot of cost, wireing loom, bell housing (see Dellows)
cost of engine and displacement.
LS1 goes to 431 cid, all other go's to 511 cid.
or stay standard.

the only real benefit i can see in this is "lighter" over the front axle.
is it worth it ??

Holy hell. frd906, what is your problem? I'd love to see an LSx motor in an AU. It would go well, sound GREAT and be something very different.

And your uncles BA, the engine in that is a little different to the one in an AU, so comparing them is irrelevant.

Agreed, but unfortunately I dont think we will ever see it happen when we have support like frd906... Thanks everyone else for your positive and genuine thoughts...

I think he ment you could throw in the boss instead cause its a different motor like the ls and is a good option. I an very surprised at peoples reactions this is a ford forum why can't we be unhappy about the idea of a gmh product in a ford.

frd906 · 15-10-2009, 07:40 PM

lol vn commy pfft i them off same with the sv6s

au11futura · 15-10-2009, 07:41 PM

Ok Guys Settle Down Dont Make Mods Mad!!

Dauphin · 15-10-2009, 07:43 PM

Please calm down and go back on topic.

frd906, you are not saying much to back up your opinion. Please spend some time to elaborate in your posts instead of writing useless comments every few minutes.

You're just attracting unwelcome attention otherwise.

frd906 · 15-10-2009, 07:43 PM

but the cost of doing a ls1 conversion would go through the roof then just rebuilding the engine

question, where would you use this power, i guessing on the track, quartermile or dynos

then you would have to get it mod plated, suit ford emssion laws or wateva etc

and the time and money wasted you can get you a simple rebuild with a blower

So what about all the FORD powered cars that have 4/5 or even 600HP. Would you complain about them as to where they would use their power?
That might be your choice to just build a stroker and probably mine to but an LS engine in an AU is something id like to see aswell but not something me personally would do. But if everyone had the same taste the world would be a boring place.
I disagree with T series kits on non T series cars aswell, but i dont go into everyones AU build thread that has a T series kitted car and say its a waste of time.

funny enuf i was going to do the Ts kit but changed my mind now rather spend the cash go FARST parts

POELWYK · 15-10-2009, 07:44 PM

i to be honnest would not do it i dont see the point you prob have a better chance to replaceing it and slaping a BA XR8 motor into it or spend the cash on some Work or s/c it

Frd906 you have to settle down a bit the mods will Ban you and you dont what that and close this thread

I have been thinking of doing this myself lately.
I love the I6 motors and like many others have been playing with the idea
of a Raptor but then I think 5.4 with a super charger....

: :evil3: :evil3:
To many choices.

Have considered a Boss conversion, but a motor like that in my AU and id be replacing my front tyres more than my rears...

and Frd906, a "simple" stroker rebuild can easily cost up to 20k with new heads,cam manifold,etc and for what 350kws at the fly? plus 12k for a kenne belle setup... This is why i have been toying with different ideas....

Yeh but i mean, BA XR8s have poor handling as it is and the car was made for that engine... I dont think and au would be able to take a corner properly with a boss 260 haha... But.. where theres a will theres a way...

true but thay handle better then the Trusty old au maybee FG stuff might be a better way to go

**Peuty** · 15-10-2009, 07:46 PM

I don't get people who say "oh but it would just be cheaper if...", if the OP wanted to build a stroker, then that's what the thread would be about.

Sometimes it's not about doing things cheaply.

By your logic, if CAT600 wanted a blown modular motor, then he should have bought a GT500 Mustang.

redauxr8, have fun
