i'm looking at trading my 93 vette for a 94 mustang gt with a brand new GT-40 crate engine in it....does anyone know anything about these motors and if there any good or not ?...it's supposedly a 345 hp 5 speed car...so i figured i'd ask the guys that knows them better than i do.....here is what the guy wrote to me.....


new gt-40 crate motor from ford racing. new polished cobra intake and plenium,c&l 76mm mass air meter,bbk 70mm throttle boddy,bbk full length chrome headers,msd billet distributer,blaster coil and egn. module,9mm wires,155 lph fuel pump,30lb injectors,373 gears,high performance starter,new power steering pump,superchip,170 amp chrome alt,cold air intake everyhing under the hood is brand new and have receipts for all over 7000 in parts and 1400 in labor. all parts proffesionaly installed.it also has caber caster plates, steeda 2' drop sus.,andshort throw shifter.new x pipe and super 40 flowmasters. all parts have less than 700 miles on them.. this car is very strong .. i would just like to have another minni truck or something to show.. this is the first real muscle car ive had and its gonna get me tickets if i keep it .... it is ready for street or strip.. i bought the car and they said it smoked when it was started and that was it but by the time i got home over 3 hrs away it constantly smoked so i decided to replace the motor since i paid 5200 for the car i didn,t want to put another junk motor from a junkyard in it. the crate motor and every part was bought from gene evans ford racing..i also have dated pictures with the motor being taken out and the new one installed and receipts have dates also the motor was pulled out on 10/10/06 and finnished on 10/ 19 /06 . this car also has a lanzar touch screen flip out dvd/cd/mp3 player with nav







whether its good or bad...just be honest...and thanks alot in advanced.....it has a new king cobra clutch in it as well.

I think that motor is pretty nice. I dont know how it will compare to the vette, but my guess is they will be comparable in power. I am not a big fan of yellow, but i am an even lesser fan of vettes so i would go for it

gt-40 crate is 345 hp..vette is 300...stang has 700 miles on a new engine...vette has 115,000 on it...he put a new water pump on the stang...80 buks...one for my vette is around 300...if the water pump on the vette goes out it starts leaking on the opti spark ( distributor)...the opti goes out then and then your looking at around 600 for a opti...see where i'm going with this ? LOL

do it, then get some new rims and paint it black

[] GOD DAMN 300 FOR A WATER PUMP?!?!?!?! 600 FOR A F&^%#^* DISTRIBUTOR!!!

LMAO...everyone including me hates the rims...and a BIG yes to black....i think it'd look good black,course black is my favorite color on a sports car....i'm thinking its a good deal to get out of the vette into that car...the 5 speed on the stang has 108,000...i dont think its hurt none being a 5 speed.

86...yes sir...thats 900 buks without EVER getting a mechanic to touch it because you cant do it yourself unless you have 4 weeks to do it.....its not a 3...4 or even 5 hour job...the front end of the engine has to come off before you see the water pump...and the opti is below the pump...bout 700 in labor...give or take to do it

Very nice car, although the yellow paint and the rims are awful.

JH23
