will 97 4.6 from T-bird fit 2001 GT ?

However, depending on what caused your GT engine to lock up, I'd swap on the heads, cams, and intake manifold from the GT to the T-bird as well. The '97 T-bird had a NPI engine, while the GT had a PI engine. The PI heads, cams and intake manifold are batter, so if they're still usable, its wise to swap them over.
Good luck with the install. I hope this helped you out a little!

You can swap the entire top end of the 2001 PI engine onto the T-bird engine. Which will retain the COP's and give you more power too. It will even slightly raise the compression, which will be good for 10+ rwhp.
Of course, you'll want to take apart the top end of your 2001 GT engine first. Make sure the cylinder heads are still in good shape and weren't damaged when the engine let go.

Yes, you should be able to just change out the intake manifold for the swap.Good luck

To answer your other question, yes you can keep the COP if you swap over the PI intake manifold. That would be your best bet for an easy installation.

96-97 T-bird 4.6L motors only had 205 HP. Way less than the 260 the mustang in 2001 had.
To clarify, most of the HP difference is from the difference in the heads/intake/valve train that is why AM recommended just swapping the block and reusing the valve train from your existing Mustang.
