whats all the differences besides the engine and speedometer in the 99-04 v6. I'm considering buying one and just slapping an eaton m90 blower on it b/c they can be had for cheap.

The entire rear axle/differential is different.

different in what way and is it really that bad?

THe rear is different. The V6 is a one-tire-frier while the V8/GT has a solid rear and both wheels spin

EDIT: The V6 is also a 7.5" rear while the GT uses the 8.8" rear which is fairly strong

so its a no go

Asside from cosmetics:

GT has an 8.8 inch rear with traction loc differential.
V6 has an open differential in a 7.5" rear.
This helps the GT get out of snow or mud and it lets the car hook up with both rear wheels at the track.

GT also has a stiffer suspension and thicker sway bars making it less bouncy.

You can get a junk yard 8.8 and rebuild it thats fairly cheap

radiator, underhood wiring, computer, fuel lines, tranny, drive shaft, rear end.....

The Great Cornholio

No, you can build up the 7.5" rear end or get a 8.8" rear end like moose posted.

This site has both the install of an 8.8" swap or the cheaper route of just putting a trac-lok in the 7.5"
It's loaded with tons of really useful information.
