Engine swap eventually..

joeice14 · March 12th, 2007, 11:57 PM

What is a cheap but powerful engine I can drop in my car once my warrenty is up i started saving money up for an engine already... I heard something about a 351 that costs 4k with a transmission... I dont know because i dont want to supercharge a v6 because eventually it will just hit a point were it wont get faster... I know i will have to change struts axel, sway bars an suspension... Just give me some names an some good deals please... Much appreciated...

click on power packages, but I would stroke your motor to a 4.4L and turbo.

i wouldnt.

they sell a kit called a stroker kit that replaces parts of your eninge for more displacement.

joeice14 · March 13th, 2007, 12:07 AM

I year to save up cash an money isnt an issue right now... I am not going to trade my car in so thats not an option but what would you guys do...

GreenFaleen · March 13th, 2007, 12:09 AM

personally I would do a 4.4Lstroker and TT or single turbo, forge internals since you want big power, and get a 8.8rearend with a 31 spline upgrade and a detroit locker.

joeice14 · March 13th, 2007, 12:12 AM

That sounds mad nice but i always worrry about turbos... Supercharger breaks down the engine usually still works turbo fucks up my cars dead...

232stang · March 13th, 2007, 12:12 AM

v8 swap of some sort

nah turbos normally run higher boost so they usually do more damage but a s/c at the same boost can mess an engine up just as bad.

itschristorres8 · March 13th, 2007, 12:52 AM

pay a lil more and get 33spline! rather be safe then sorry!

joeice14 · March 13th, 2007, 11:43 PM

I think I am going to do the 351 with 400 hp... I wont need much more then that an if i do ill supercharge it a little later... I have two good jobs an i have another job for the week an I am going to save up 5-6k do the swap then shit on some Srt-4s.... Then I will feel amazing....
SO I am going to need a new rear new suspension new struts an sway bars new mounts new headers an then ill just straight pipe the magnaflow exhaust i am getting...

joeice14 · March 13th, 2007, 11:45 PM

Oh an then ill sell my old motor which should have roughly only 36,000 miles on it...

a 351 in the sn197 platform is gonna be even MORE HELL....
My analysis's: wouldn't do it....

Gonna be more than any 5-6k (are you going to do the labor yourself?)

GreenFaleen · March 13th, 2007, 11:48 PM

how will it be hell it should slide right in.

joeice14 · March 13th, 2007, 11:49 PM

No I have guys that will do it for mad cheap an for fun to see how it works out.. Why do you say no??

232stang · March 13th, 2007, 11:50 PM

DO IT DO IT DO IT!

ESG-642T · March 13th, 2007, 11:51 PM

Electrical wiring nightmare....

the vQ35(3.8L out of a nissan 350z) will "slide right in" a v6 mustang... doesn't mean its gonna be easy to get it to work~

GreenFaleen · March 13th, 2007, 11:52 PM

And electrical won't be bad hence the words turn key engine.
