I own a 2006 V-6 and am not happy enough with the power and sound. I was wondering what I would have to change out in order to be able to run the stock GT engine under the hood. I was talking to a buddy and he told me that the only thing he thought that might have to be changed was the transmission. Is this true and what else would I have to change out?

 

i just did a 1997 v6 to a 1999 gt swap, i will tell you , you need everything, engine trans if auto to stick conversion, wiring, power brake system is different, v6 wont fit when you puty the gt engine in

your rear end will need to be swapped our becuse it is weak and the gears are to high!!!
v6 and gt fuel system is different, from tank to engine

basically your body would be same but everything that bolts to it would need to change,

lets not forget, your factory alarm system, you have 2 choices, install everything then tow it to the ford dealer and have them re program the system, or but a sct tuner with the pats disabled

if your looking for the swap i have a guy in huntsville al with a 2000 gt auto trans that wants 2200 plus shipping for engine trans and ecu

but i would recomend jsut finding a wrecked gt buy it and put the cars side by side and swap out everything ,

but guarenteed, its easier to just get a supercharger or a turbo and get it tuned and would be same as a stock gt or better

 

Well that sucks... I do know that Ford has made some adjustments and rebuilding of the mustangs since 1997. How sure are you that I will be going through the same crap with my 2006? And also, I have an automatic and do not plan on convertic it to a stick. Do I still need a new transmission?
