4.6 stroker kit I do believe

Yeah it is definitely a 2v of sorts....

OP care to fill in the blanks for us

 

[BaznastyDave]

Prob a stroked 4.6 with CMS/VT cams, its a 2v for sure, either way I would like to know what the new motor is OP.

 

[Froush]

New motor is a 2v windsor block. Vt engines made it back in the day when they were still a company, but due to ownership issues they closed. 5.0 stroker with 9.2:1 compression ratio. Stage 2 heads and cams. Vt heads and cams are basically the same as foxlake since one of the owners went to foxlake.

 

[mustangmike!]

shoulda just got a 5.0 cammer

 

[Froush]

Eh. Next mod 2.6 kb. Aim for 20lbs of boost

Not that it affects me, but do rear ends have to be changed as well?

you could put a tru trac in the 7.5 if you really wanted to keep it

but if your going to the work to swap to a v8 i see no reason to not swap to a 8.8 rear

so yes, the best option is to put in an 8.8

 

[Froush]

If youre leaving the 4.6 stock then sure you could leave the 7.5 in. But once you start modding you might as well do the rear first. Those one wheel peels dont seem like they would be fun in a v8. Haha

Will a driveshaft from a 98 gt work?

I finally found this thread, I was looking in the projects..

will the stock v6 motor mounts work? or did you get aftermarket ones.

 

[05v6mustang]

are you using the stock k member and motor mounts?

 

[WhiteShadow]

guys this thread is over a year old.... lolz

as far as motor mounts i would venture to say getting some new motor mounts wouldnt hurt.

I mainly lurk and don't post but now it's time that I give back to the community! I bought a '99 GT w/ manual trans years ago with a salvage title - only 43,000 miles and had numerous upgrades. Runs like a true beast! 3 different shops started the body work and never finished. Shop 1 closed down, shop 2 burned down, shop 3 got to a point where they saw that the car was cut (by shop 1) and refused to do any further work. I just bought a '00 V6 auto and will be using the GT as a donor car. I will start the work once the weather improves and will post as many pix as possible to breathe life into this old thread. Hopefully, it will help others with questions that they may have. This will be my first V6 to V8 swap, however, I have replaced over 20 engines and trans over the years (almost all crown vics 4.6).

Sounds like a good idea - it's how I found this thread. Picking up the V6 next week. Weather is a different story.

 

[Froush]

If you need any help or info, shoot me a pm. I dont really lurk over in the v6 section too much anymore. good luck with the swap!!
