Engine Swap

Standardrift · February 15th, 2007, 03:28 AM

I just wanted to know if the chasis are the same size in the v6 and the gt models? i was wondering if it is possible to put a 5.4L 356T-7 aluminum block into my v6 stang and build from that point on?

wow. good luck on that. Thats a BIG motor. Your going to need to re-arrange a ,lot of stuff to make it work. Did you pull it out of a lightning?

Ummmm not worth it unless you can do all the work your self. You would probably be better of buying a cobra or a lightning then putting that in your v6 stang.

theres a guy around here(central FL) with a 03 GT that has a lightning motor in it....but getting the car to run problem free I hear is a hassle...

Standardrift · February 15th, 2007, 12:23 PM

ill do all the work myself, i just want to kno if it will fit in nicely. i want everyone to think i drive the little guy. then blast out with lots of power

02ponypackage · February 15th, 2007, 12:32 PM

good luck...its not easy at all...esp getting the rear setup with it...a lot of power in that small frame setup

For a 2005 -present, you can swap engines, dirve trains, tranies etc. But if you do, you will have to buy special flanges for drive train, computer etc.

That being said, I was thinking about droping a 302 in my 2005 V6, its a small block engine with a huge potential....and lots of goodies for the performance side. I am still doing the research. Their are lots of crated 302, race ready with 300 - 475hp. Seems you can get one of these for around $3,500 - $6,000.

Again, I am just thinking about possibilities.

Go and buy a gt with that engine, be about the same price when your finished

Steamboat 16 · February 15th, 2007, 02:35 PM

get one of those new 302 boss engines ford is making (was in the mm news a while back) those you can buy making 450 hp stock, and it would come with a warrenty, always a plus

just so u know the only new edge made with that moter is the 2000 R, of wich only 400 were made so good luck trying to find one cheper then what it would cost to dp that swap.

dude most likely that car will have dual exhaust. now you'll look like a GT already/v8
what little guy are you talking about now
it deffinitly will not be quiet. so..there is really no sleeper effect what so ever.
