99 to 02 Mustang GT engine swap?

damianojeda · August 5th, 2006, 02:46 AM

This is my first time doing an engine swap, I've got some help but they are not mustang gurus, I need to know if it is possible to put a 2002 SOHC GT engine into a 1999 Mustang GT? I blew a head gasket on mine and basically grenaded the engine. I just picked up a bare bones engine out of a 02 GT used. I've started transferring my parts eg. water pump altenator etc, to the new engine I am noticing some little differences between the two namely so far the flywheel/clutch setup, apparently 99 - mid 01 is 8 bolt flywheel, and mid 01-04 is 6 bolt flywheel? If anybody can help it would be greatly appreciated. I just would like to know if it is possible, and maybe an idea on some of the mods i will have to make, before I get to deep. Thanks very much.
P.s. My 99 is a 5 spd. and the 02 engine is out of an automatic

It's done I did it, turns out that I had a cobra short block. I bought the car used from a dealer so I had no idea, that explains the 8 bolt flywheel. So long story short 2002 GT 4.6l into a 99 GT everything is exactly the same, no mods necessary. Runs great no problems so far, if any body has any questions jsut post a reply.

actually its not a cobra shortblock, the 99-00 were built in windsor, and the windsor motors had 8-bolt cranks. They were not forged cranks like the cobra was.

Oh ok, thanks for the info... I guess the guy at the mod shop wasn't as smart as I thought. Thanks again
