1999-2004 in a '93 LX

txbkr · January 14th, 2009, 12:58 AM

How hard is it to transplant the engine and AT from a 1999-2004 GT into a 1993 LX 5.0 notchback ?

Thanks...P.

The '93 LX has 126k. I could rebuild but it would cost me more than a new 4.6 GT with AT. This would be my DD....and for those that are thinking AT??? My left arm is paralyzed

(in the line of duty at least) so AT is better for DD. However, my 331 is a 5 speed.

damn dude..so u gotta let go of the wheel to shift the 5 speed..and there is nothing wrong with a AT specially wit ur situation..u run more consistent times to

rebuilding it would not cost more than a new 4.6 and tranny, and i doubt it needs a rebuild unless its been abused

126 k is nothing..... just throw some hci at it.

baine21225 · January 14th, 2009, 11:30 AM

put a NOS sticker on it and it will run like new.....except with like 124 more hp....to the front wheels......in all seriousness though just rebuild what you have and even put an auto on that

mustangsoldier · January 14th, 2009, 03:21 PM

you can definelty rebuild the 5.0 for a lot less than buy and swaping in a 4.6

White Thunder · January 14th, 2009, 03:28 PM

yeah thats a pretty exspensive swap

Speedstang302 · January 14th, 2009, 08:11 PM

depends on how much he can land a 4.6 with the AT behind it for...if its under 500 i'd say go for it..but anything really over 500..you could rebuild the 5.0 and the transmission in ur 93

Late model restoration has a budget short block for $700

86er · January 14th, 2009, 11:11 PM

after machining, rebuiding the heads and a full gasket set I hardly think you could do it all for 500 bucks.

125 to bore the block
75 to vat/clean/freeze plugs
80 deck the block for trueness
if you reuse the rotating assembly
130 to grind the crank and refurbish the rods
250 min to recondition the heads
150 for a good felpro full engine gasket kit

710 and thats prob leaving stuff out. thats for a STOCK rebuild

If you cant put it together thats another 250 min

Traidmarx · January 14th, 2009, 11:47 PM

yea for the price you're gonna pay for a 4.6 and AT (probably around 1500-2000) not to mention all the money to fab things up probably another 1500. you could build a HCI 306 for half that with 0 miles and have your AOD rebuilt.

There have been a minimum of two threads on a 5.0->4.6 swaps in the last few weeks. Try the search function.

black5.0 · January 15th, 2009, 11:04 AM

Only way i would do that if i had a termi motor.

86er · January 15th, 2009, 01:29 PM

The motor can just drop right in, just get a subframe from a 4.6 sn95 car. Sub frame should just bolt up, then drop the motor in or with the subframe, get the harness and computer etc etc. The physical part is actually very easy, its the wiring up gauges etc that gets tricky
