Buy 2 more cylinders and put them in your back seat. Thats as far as most people get.

OR, save up about 5-8 grand for engine, trans, rear end+labor. There is more to it than just putting a new engine in.

Alot more.

go to the dealership, trade yours in, then buy a gt

its more work than you want to do to convert it. suspension, breaks tranny, ENGINE, computer, dildo, drive train, and the list goes on and on.

ya i figured it could be a project car. i could get the part pretty cheap. i was just wonderin what needs to be changed out. my everyday driver is a 92 5.0.
my v6 has 259,977 miles on it. its trade in value is only like 1800

to do it cheep u need to buy a totaled GT and take parts from there. The rest is just labor

+1 ^

but if you want serious power get a built engine and trans

go to the MMR site...

if its gonna be a project go big 351 drop would be fun

you need
engine
mounts
tranny
rearend
ECU
some other small stuff

DeMello, do you actually know what a built engine requires to be considered "built"? Just a question...

DeMello · May 25th, 2008, 05:19 PM

forged internals?

Toph6888 · May 25th, 2008, 05:28 PM

built engine would include new and stronger: crankshaft, pistons, connecting rods, valve springs, rocker arms, pushrods, porting polishing intakes and head, fuel rails/injectors, possible power adder, throttle body, camshaft, timing chain, waterpump, and the list keeps going

DeMello · May 25th, 2008, 05:29 PM
