97bluethundergt

I have a 1997 Mustang gt with the stock 4.6 2v only upgrades to it are cold air intake and a new intake manifold thats it im sick and tired of every week something breaks i fix it then it turns out to be something else i know thats not uncommon but it also doesnt have the power i want i live in a town with a bunch of ricers and hondas i have the loudest mustang here but nowhere near the fastest i want to know what would be the best motor and from what model year. i was thinking a 4.6 4V 5.0 5.4from a lighting but i dont want to get like 6 mpg im ok with like 12 or 15 but my plans for the build are preferebly supercharged or all motor the amount of horsepower i want to get is around 350rwhp now if i can get more im all for it but i want to know what motor what year and if i should go to a junk yard or buy a crate motor also how much the job and parts cost is for a motor swap i can probably do it myself but i would like to know estimates

Whats your budget

school boy

sounds like a mark viii swap with long tubes, cobra intake manifold and a set of cams or supercharger

Throw on some PI heads, a supercharger & your all set for 350 hp +.

I am usually all for a Mark VIII swap, but I agree with this. It's going to be the cheapest and easiest option.

my budget is as much as i want but the cheaper the better. i want to get a pulley supercharger but i cant find one and im not exactly sure what pi heads are can someone post a link to a pulley supercharger and pi heads for my model mustang please also what else do i have to upgrade to allow the use of a supercharger in my mustang?

"pulley supercharger" what other kind is there? Oh wait there was the waterfall supercharger of the 80's
PI = Heads/Intake from a 99 up 4.6 GT the 96/98 are NPI (also known as junk)
