S type R intake?

[pan]

Has anybody had a chance to get close up and check to see if the intake manifold will fit the LS? I'm sure ppl have thought of this but haven't found one to take a look at around here. Just a thought!!!

if you are taking just the intake manifold - it's a no go.

The S-Type R hasw the integrated liquid-to-air intercoolers, SC and the emission systems, fuel system, ...etc.

If you are taking - take all that from the S-type R - then yes, it 'may' fit - however the electronics are different between the LS and Jag, so you have to decide how to mate them - either retro-fit the LS's to the Jag connectors and mechanicals, or marry the Jags to the LS's PCM. not as easy as it sounds.

finding salvage/used Jags parts is the other key, since the SC/intercooler pieces are over $7k alone.

I cant speak for the s-type r but I did some very serious looking into the 4.2 and the 4.2 s/c power train swap, and in all honestly for the gen 2's its a quite simple job, if you get the complete engine, and trans the gen 2 ls harness will almost directly snap up, and sct makes a programmer to flash the ford pcm to run the 4.2 s/c or 4.2 na, just some custom fuel lines, and a custom drive shaft, a few other small things, as far as cross race engine swaps its pretty straight foreward

how about the difference in single-step VVT of the Jag compared to the continuial VVT of the LS?

that I am honestly not sure about my friend, I would assume there could be some correction made in the core programming but I really dont know, I opted not to try and take that challenge on yet lol

 

[cammerfe]

Jag VVT is mechanical and has sensors in the cam covers to tell the computer what's happening. Since there's 48 degrees of variation in the Jag, I doubt it happens all at once.

right - the issue is we do not have that level of control over the LS PCM - so it's either a Jag PCM, or mating LS heads to the deal.....

ahhh, ok im with ya now

You all do know the S-tpe has a very sloppy tranny? even moreso than the LS.....and this I have read through ConsumerGuide reports

Ok not really following where that comes in on swapping a intake manifold???

comes from pete is a tool! dont mind him

lmao gotcha!

you do know the Jag uses the same 5R55N as the LS.... right?

yeah but they are both slush boxes compared to the 05+ stangs....
