Engine Swap Ideas

chris60098 · May 22nd, 2008, 01:06 AM

Hi, I'm new, I just purchased a 05 v6 coupe, and i'm already considering a engine swap, i know there are some supercharger kits and turbo kits available for my car, but i'd rather go with a swap, any one done it, any cool links, just wondering, thanks, chris

what motor do you want?

DeMello · May 22nd, 2008, 01:45 AM

you wanna keep it a sixxer or become a v8?

just turbo the stang and be faster than the gt's

engine swaps can get really complicated and you will be spending much more than its actually worth. stick with the 6

+1 run safe boost for your stocker and buy another block and have your heads ported with a built bottom end, most of all get some suspension, tranny, and rear-end work done first!

swap in a 99-04 cobra motor....preferably the 03/04 with or without the blower since they are basically indestructible.

its an 05...the termi motors dont have much life...600rwhp is playing with it already

I think it would be cool to see that motor in the 05+ body style.

DeMello · May 22nd, 2008, 08:32 AM

i vote gt crate motor and the hell raiser TT kit but thats just me

shadow5403 · May 22nd, 2008, 08:37 AM

or the 5.0 cammer engine.

94v6blkndred · May 22nd, 2008, 02:27 PM

The Aluminator

Onemanzu · May 22nd, 2008, 02:46 PM

just save up for the new 6.2s stroke it and forge it and drop that in

itschristorres8 · May 22nd, 2008, 02:48 PM

yeah right a GT motor...might as well by a GT....if you do a motor swap for a GT motor you've just wasted a great amount of time and money for little gains

i'd rather see an ls1 swap in an 05 then a termi swap...

chris60098 · May 22nd, 2008, 08:25 PM

i was thinking about a procharger or a turbo set up with the stock v6, i was also considering a gt v8 conversion, but i agree, the cost vs. hp reward and cool factor isn't there. I bought the car because it was a great deal, in a little fender bender, so i am gonna take the oppertunity to bolt on the "shelby" body components, and i guess i am looking for reasonable power, 350-400 hp, but am thinking something more exotic. I can hande a complicated swap, but i like simple projects too. I love my ls2 powered bmw, it was a five wire hook-up.

WhtStang00 · May 23rd, 2008, 01:01 AM

wadepetersen · May 23rd, 2008, 01:16 AM

i thought it would be cool to have a ls1 in a new edge

GreenFaleen · May 23rd, 2008, 01:30 AM

if your gonna do a swap go 351w or a built 98 cobra engine otherwise buy a gt
