Would a '01 gt engine fit in a 96 gt's engine compartment ?

ponysnake99

yes...both modular...as far as i know it should go in without a hitch, be different if u had a 5.0

uberstang1

should drop right in

im no mechanic so feel free to correct me, but i would assume that any 99-04 GT engine would fit in the early SN95's....am i right?

Apoc

good lol cause i already started buying parts for the 01, im super excited finally i will be pushing some horse

ponysnake99

only after 96 because of motor mounts and the K-member...the (sounds quirky) larger modular engine (yes, in pure bulk size it is larger than a 5.0) required different mounts and stuff...the pushrod 5.0 engines of 94-95 wouldnt mount...the beauty of a modular is, dropping a DOHC alumium block or a 5.4L are all mostly direct drop ins too (well...the 5.4 will require a little more coaxing)

ya u can drop a cobra right in, ford has the same motor mounts for the gt and cobra

Apoc

such great design, now installing this, im good with droping it in and all that but when it comes to the electrial harness what should i do ?

uberstang1

hmmmm, the harness should be the same, the ecu will be tuned diferently if im not mistaken.........not 100% though

Apoc

how will i go about tuning my ecu or fixing it ?
