427 in a 2002 GT
In a couple of years i am going to be replacing the 4.6 in my 02 with a Big block either a 427 or a 460 not sure yet then putting a supercharger on it to make it a drag car. Ill prolly have to make custom motor mounts and get custom headers what are some other things will i have to do

I would think that you are going to have to make some major changes in the computer system. Definately beef up your rear end with 31 spline axles. Stiffen you chassis. Look into some weight reduction.

why not just put in a fully built 2003 cobra motor with a kenne belle, whipple, or turbo....you could be near the 1000hp level with the turbo's if you wanted and would still be easier than squeezing a BB in.

just can get alot of hp without doing something so radical. Just seems like doing it for the sake of it. To each their own. WOuld be interesting to see a huge big-block shoe-horned in there.
