I like the new mustangs but the GT only puts down 300hp I dont know if I can afford the shelby GT500

Can anyone point me in the direction of an engine swap that puts down more HP naturally aspirated that i could SC or would that not be a good idea?

Just looking for thoughts and oppinions

 

Just supercharge what you got. 450 rwhp is easy to get which is similar to what the GT500 gets.

Whipple, Saleen, Roush, Paxton, etc...

 

We had a member here that swapped his gt 4.6L out for a 5.4L out of a Shelby...but you won't find him around here lately. PM me if you want his name and the forum he hangs out on now.

 

this is not that uncommon.....i have seen 2 gt's with a gt500 5.4 motor that was dropped in......and a new tranny..... both of them found the motors in a junk yard...totaled gt500's .......each paid 8k for the motors

 

Didn't really think it was uncommon...just a little expensive. But if you've got the money, go for it.

 

8000? ouch... that's the price I was quoted for a new one from Ford lol

 

I thought they normally went for about 14K?

 

Yea i think 14000 is more in the ball park
on a couple of websites including ford racing parts that was the price new

 

16k for the 5.4 shelby crate

6700 for the 4.6 3v found in ours

 

correct....14,995 for the crate ready 5.4

8,000 from a junkyard, priceless
