RE: OMG OMG OMG.. American Muscle to the MAX!!!..
it's 550hp and 545 ft lbs on that motor stock. With tuning and some work it is easily well over 600hp all motor. That is just sick.
" Neat for a car that'll do a one wheel burnout ....What a waste of soo much stuff....I'd put a 5.4 4v mod motor in a sixxer if I had a front end totalled gt500 for parts, That'll be cool for the "buddys" and all but the long haus will prove it stupid IMO.....Repost by the way"
what a horrible post.
and who said they shoulda used a gt? why in the hell would you us a gt there is absolutely no point at all. They replaced the entire drivetrain and are going to have to replace most of the suspension, so the absolute only differences will be cosmetic...for a 7,000 dollar difference. ehhh...? A 460 is huge. With minor work it is easily a 550rwhp car with linear power and it will be bale to run on pump gas. The ****ing 520 can make 625hp on 87 octane HOLY ****!
You guys do realize this 460 costs 10,000 dollars less than the blown 5.4 that is found in the gt500... you put 1/5th of the money you saved by buying that motor into it and you will be walking all over anything in your path. This is an AWESOME idea. the engine costs 6,700 bucks...cheaper than a built block and a blower by a long shot, is much more unique, and sounds better than a 4.6 ever possibly could. If i had the money i would do it that is amazing!

RE: OMG OMG OMG.. American Muscle to the MAX!!!..
i tottaly agree with everything you just said..
i would rather spend the money on something liek this rather then a ___ charger.. i dunno what kind of instal cost would come along wiht it.. but that would be one sick *** car.. talk about sleeper if it was parked.... if it was running, i think you pretty much gave the clue away when they heard you coming from a mile away
... so hot.. i want it...

With the price of fuel these days, you buy a mustang to make a statement. You're pretty retarded if you buy one just to go from A to B. You can get a Corolla for that and it will do it much better job and be cheaper than a mustang.
This car is about style and this guy did it right... After watching this, I'm seriously considering doing something like that with my GT just because, well I'm that simple.
so the wife says...

Come guys doing something like that isn't about power, It's about making a statement!

Why did they use a 460? My personal favorite has always been the 427, which came in second place on that horsepower show on cable.
I know so little about engines.
Personally I'd find what one has the best power to weight ratio and use that... or is the 4.6 3 valve already there?

RE: OMG OMG OMG.. American Muscle to the MAX!!!..
Whats the big deal about replacing all the v6 suspension? most people on here, even with GTs replace most of thier suspension and exhaust. I think it looked like a great project. Personally though i would have wanted the 5.4 modular, but hey, thats me and its his car. If your going to be spending the money anyway, make it how ya want it. I agree it sounds great, and think of what he has to work with for future upgrades....
