T-5 in a 98 gt


Hi,
I'm currently swapping my 4.6L 2v for a 5.4L 32v.
The engine was in a cobra 88 with a T5.
I want to know if the T5 can be EASILY fitted in my 98GT
The T5 have about 15 000km
and my T45... 147 000 km ...

Thanks

Yeah, I'll post pictures before and after
for the tranny, it's because i'm a budget and the t-5 is already bolted to the engine
and the t-5 had only 15 000km on it... it's almost new.

I'll look for a T-56 in the future

Hi, the block is from a F150 , it have a Eagle forged crank with Eagle forged beam and Manley forged piston with a 9.7:1 CR on top of that a pair of cobra 97 heads with FRPP high lift cams with a custom cobra 97 intake with IMRC deleted and finally, a twin 65mm BBK throttle body. for the exhaust, FRPP shorty headers with a MAC Pro-chamber and no muffler...

The previous owner had the engine in a cobra 80 but last winter the roof of his storage fell on the car... you can see some picture on ::phoenix99.monchar.com Mustang GT 1998
