All jokes aside, I do love Fords. But I am also open minded... I only swapped to the LS1 because of the good power they make in stock form and the fuel mileage . If I could have built a 302-347 and got near the fuel mileage and power, I would most certainly have went that route.
You know what? The LSx series is a more advanced pushrod motor than the 302. That's a given.
While the LSX series of motors may be superior(and I believe they are), why would you want to put one in a mustang?
I'll toss my opinion out, why not.
Mustangs and camaros are like cars and dogs or republicans and democrats.
Having said that, I'll easily admit the LS1 is an amazing engine. I have many friends who have them, and they run hard, and put down some damn nice numbers.

Raceallday1: I have owned several LSx powered GM's, a Corvette, an a SS camaro. I have a question for you tell me where you can get a aluminum cylinder head tha actually flow 330cfm, an 230cfm for less than $450. When i had my SS i purchased i slp L92 heads an had them flowed. It cost me 456.50. So found a ford head that flows that much an LMK.
A LSx series is a lot more reliable than a 347. To build a 347 that makes 425-430 to the rear wheels. you'll prolly spend 5k-7k depending on the parts. My Camaro with a SLP cam, Fast 90mm manifold, SLP Lp2 heads, Complete SLP exhaust the car made 419rwhp/390 rwtq. Do that for only 3500.....
Now the LSx motor is also more economic on fuel. I got near 15mpg out of my modded SS in the city an nearly 24 on the interstate. try an do that with a 347.
For all that are wondering why i chose a 347 is because it has a similar displacement to the LSx series gm motor of 346.7......

GM has spent well into the MILLIONS on R&D on the LSx motors, Joe Blow piecing together an SBF from stuff he's seeing in MM&FF is not going to get the same kind of results.
