Rebuild

I cant seem to find a rebuild kit for my 97 Gt. How much do they usually cost? I know the master kit with pistons and all is like 1k

96 to 04 are the same kits

of course, lol. I am having trouble finding a kit, however there has been a change of plans. A mustang performance company wants to sell me a complete PI motor from Throttle Body to Oil Pan for obo $1500 it has 45k on it

what do you think???

F8L GT · June 21st, 2009, 12:52 AM

ebay is full of 4.6 rebuild kits

ModularSteed · June 21st, 2009, 10:43 AM

Ill look into ebay, what do you think about the price for the motor they are giving me?

I would opt to go with a rebuild kit on the motor. Then you know where you are at as far as internals and how tight it will all be. The pi motor with 45k could have been beat on and you could possible be in the same bucket as you are in with the rebuild situation.

$1500 is more than I would pay for a 4.6 pi motor.

ModularSteed · June 22nd, 2009, 10:24 PM

How much do you think the FULL rebuild will end up costing. Seals, Gaskets, Rings, bearings, and timing components?

97stanggt · June 23rd, 2009, 09:13 AM

depends how far you want to go.... and i think the timing kit for a 4.6 alone is like 400+ but my 5.4 i just rebuild was 120 ;> so im happy

so if timing kit alone is 400+ ied say ur looking at 1000ish maybe more if u do it right

ModularSteed · June 23rd, 2009, 07:14 PM

that would be great at 1000. It would allow me to do some extra tweaks

Yea it all depends on how far you want to go what parts you want to either keep or replace the more you want to replace the more costly it will become.

The PI Motor Is worth it but i wouldent pay 1500.

I have decided not to buy the motor. i just sent my heads off to the machine shop and im buying the master rebuild kit. my motor is ready to pull where is the recommended place to mount the hoist?

97stanggt · June 25th, 2009, 07:57 AM

for my 4.6 to 5.4 swap i went and got 4 bolts the same thread style as intake bolts and put 2 chains 1 at the front of the intake mounting area 1 at the rear and then another chain from both of those to the lift worked good but dont use your intake bolts theyll bend i guarentee it ;>
