When they say to LS-swap all the things, do you think they meant Mustangs, too?
Terry Fair, owner of Vorshalg Motorsports, has made a name for himself–and his business–by making some seriously quick Mustangs.

Perfectly named.
The Trigger name comes from Roy Rogers horse's name, but... yea the LS swap does tend to come into the name also. 
Roy Rogers.
Fastest? Faster than Kiote motor? Many people will scream. Seems like the I.C.E. Ground Hog has seen his shadow and we're in for another decade of Fords with Chevy motors in them. I can't wait until Godzilla7.3 hears about this.
I don't even know what this means.

There's a lot to like about the simplicity (way fewer moving parts) of the appropriately chosen LS. There's that and the fact that it's not as wide as a football field. Coyotes are surprisingly light, though . . .
Trigger was stuffed at some point.
In reply to rustomatic :
This picture shows why LS swaps are so popular... the size difference to a Coyote is dramatic.
We do work with Coyotes, and did a Gen2 Coyote swap with a T56 Magnum XL into a 2010 GT with the drivetrain above - which we weighed.
Once we added up all of the pieces to the LS6 + T56 Magnum XL, the LS drivetrain was 95 pounds lighter. Go figure - a smaller engine is lighter. ;)
It won't flip signs, but the LS6 has an aluminum bellhousing, not the SFI bellhousing made out of thick steel plate. No headers. No intake.
OTOH an LS will lighten the car significantly if/when it drops a valve, causing the engine to scatter itself all over the track 
. The Ford, of course, will be able to pass at this point.
I tend to think of engine swaps like a USPS priority mail box, it it fits it ships. I am somewhat brand agnostic. I also own a Honda framed Kawasaki 2 stroke powered dirt bike. And yes that combination also triggers some people.
