i got a 96 gt it is 5speed it has a cold air intake and 03 cobra wheels. it is red, and my buddy told me you can put heads form a 99-up gt and it will give it about 50 more hp and i was just wondering if this is correct and what else is there to do to these cars.. any ideas let me know thanks?? it is my DD..and i do not have money to get it procharged or supercharged or a stroker kit lol

The PI head swap would get you around 45 hp but its pretty expensive and a pretty big project and your better off doing the whole PI swap which can get you around 65 HP

Congrats on the GT,
Your friend is correct, in 99 ford put the PI heads on the 4.6's, id recommend swapping to the PI heads and getting them port n polished if your doing the swap, should see some sweet hp gains. if you really are interested in doing a PI swap send me a pm i have a set sitting in my garage that i need to get rid of.
id also recommend changing your exhaust system so ur car can breathe right.
shift kits are popular as well, and IMO a good investment

well 1400 is a lil to much im still paying on the car ha..
but yeah im interested in doing the swap..im looking for used heads PI heads my buddy told me to go that route..me and him will be doin the work..he has a 07 shelby, 03 cobra, 02 cobra and a 03 gt lol..but he does all his work himself...if i went with just the flowmaster muffler on the stock pipes would it be ok..?

Damn pretty long list of cars he has. He must had imported that 02 cobra in from Australia huh? Seeing as how there were no 02 cobras in America.

if your going to do your exhaust id say dont just go with a muffler swap, they usually end up sounding ricey imo, if ur serious about the swap i have a pair sittin here man, let me know

matt90

price? and where you located?

Make sure you get an intake manifold with an aluminum cross over on it... The stock ones are notorious for cracking.

And the stock exhaust on your car is pretty ridiculous. A new midpipe and catback is almost a must.
