Gen III swap??

[Louisianagmfs]

Ive been looking for a new project and Im having trouble deciding on what to do, its between a square body with a gen III or a foxbody. Has anyone on here done a gen III swap, I know its been done just wanting some opinions from guys who have completed the swap. What kind of cost is involved in the swap itself, im not too worried about the cost of a motor?

When you say Foxbody, do you mean 79 to 93 stangs? Done carb to EFI conversions on those.
As far as a Gen III swap into our narrow frames?
Well, from what I can remember, you will need 2001-ish exhaust manifolds, I also think the 98-2000 F-body manifolds will clear the frame.
Street and performance has the motor mount plates to adapt the new style mounts, to the mounting points on the frame. Other than that,just wiring.
Not sure about the trans cross member, but thats a trivial hurdle to overcome.
You may also want to check the fuel system on the donor veh. engine. Some of them have a returnless high pressure fuel system, with the Fuel Pressure Regulator in the tank, whitch would require the use of that tank, or, you can get a set of fuel rails from an earlier LS? engine, with the return line provision.
Oh yeah, and electric fans.

Go on youtube and search for this title:

He don't really get on it or anything(& I know this isn't a square body) but once I saw how nice that install went I wanted to do it myself! Clean truck!
