1999 GT
I just bought a 99 GT
i was wondering the horsepower rating was
and i dont know if this matter but i had to replace the coil and it comes with 2000 coils so its anything else 2000
and does it come with the PI system

RE: 1999 GT
they rated them at 260 crank hp from the factory, most guys see anywhere from 220-230 horses at the rear wheels when put on a dyno (the 5 speed loses about 15% through the drivetrain, and the automatics lose 20-25% i believe). torque is rated at either 302 or 305 ft-lbs. when you say the coil, you mean the ignition coils right? each cylinder has its own ignition coil, they bolt directly onto the spark plugs (coil-on-plug, or "COPs"). the coils are interchangeable from '99-'04. and yeah your car has the PI heads, cams, and intake. the only 4.6s that came with non-PI were '96-'98, all of the 4.6 SOHC engines from '99-'04 have the PI top end. if you're ever ordering parts for your transmission (shifter, etc), i believe your car has the Tremec 3550. sometime in the middle of 2001 they changed to the Tremec 3650, so just be aware of that also.

RE: 1999 GT
Didn't he say he had a 99? 99s and 00s have T-45 transmissions. The motor in the 99s and 00s are also slightly different than the 01-04s. They have Windsors motors instead of Romeo. Both are rated at the same horsepower. Both have PI heads and the heads are interchangeable, but the Windsor has 13/14 bolt valve covers and the Remeo has 11 bolt valve covers. The motors also have a slightly different cranks.

If I'm not mistaken Ford threw some of the non-PI 4.6's in some of the 99 GTs. (left over motors from 98) I would never get a 99-mid 01 GT because of the T-45 alone.
