2007 engine in a 98 gt

ralph30 · February 2nd, 2010, 05:13 PM

Will a 2007 GT engine fit easily into my 98 GT? I have access to a 07 engine.

Would it be a better benefit to me to just put a turbo or sc on my 98 gt engine rather than swaping it with the 07 engine as far as performance?

put a procharger or vortech on the 2v and upgrade the pistons and rods and maybe the crank and run ~12psi and youd have gooood numbers

The 07 Motor is a Better Platform but its going to take more work then it would to just slap bolt ons on the 2V It can be done and honestly its not hard but you would need to convert your harness to COPS and lock the Cams...

Thanks for the input.

Just wanted to make sure I got this right. Keeping my 4.6 engine and puting a procharger on and upgrading the pistons and rods would make my car faster than the 5.4 stock engine?

If you want it to be. Sure

Yea, Here is a Comparison Stock Vs Stock so you can see what kind of power you will have from a stock starting point.

(From My Write-Up)

4.6 2V to 5.4 2V

Power Returns:
For those wondering the swap can be done for cheap, and has the "Budget Builder" in mind. You will see a greater gain in Performance when swapping a 5.4 (Rated at 260hp/350tq) to a say 1997 Mustang Gt (Rated at 215hp/290tq) than a 99-04 but both deliver considerable SOTP and dyno gains. A gain of 45hp/60tq right off the bat is common for NPI, stock for stock; not to mention the added cubes make the power earlier in the RPM band. With a 99-04 Mustang Gt (Rated as 260hp/300tq) your gaining ~50ft/lbs or more, usually a little bit of HP (depending on MANY factors) and the added cube effect.

If your interested in going from 4.6 2V to 5.4 2V here is some Reading material.

I read the article regarding swaping a 5.4 into a 4.6 car but is this from a truck or another mustang. Just a little confused as to if the 2007 engine is larger and will be a tight fit like the truck engine.

Anyone intrested in 5.4L swaps, in here. Need you to opine. - Page 113 - Mustang Forums

There are 284 pages of information regaurding a 5.4 swap. And I saw a few of them were people with 3V engines.

Dont let people sway you if you want to tackle it. Like I said... a few people have done 5.4L 3V swaps. If thats what you want, dont settle for being another one of the 100,000 4.6 bolt on cars... hahah.
