Ok, so I have a 2004 V6 (my first mistake hehe) and I want to convert it to a V8 so I can make some nice power gains from it. There simply isnt enough in a 6er for me.

Anyway, I figure to convert from a V6 to a V8 I need to get an engine, transmission, driveshaft, and rear end. I am not mod savvy, and I know that this cant be all I need. Please give me some pointers and info on how to make this a clean transition. Here is what I found on Ebay to get me started as far as ideas are concerned. Let me know if I have the right idea. Thanks in advance for any info and advice.

Transmission: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T56-T...QQcmdZViewItem

Rear End and Driveshaft: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MUSTA...QQcmdZViewItem

I dont know what gears come with the Cobra rear end, but I was planning on upgrading it to 3.73 gears.

 

just sell it and buy a V8. It will save you alot of time and hassell

 

THATS ONLY A START.....

you need the entire wiring harness from the car to match the engine and trans , the rear end is not complete so you would need the rest, better off getting a complete rear end at 1 time , you need the fuel system ( tank fuel pump and fuel lines) computer and other various electronic parts you will need the dash cluster for a gt or cobra and you will need it all programmed
not including the main components you listed you have $3000.00 in parts needed

i did this with a 1999 gtengine and trans i had 6200.00 total including engine and trans , but thats becuse i got ia deal 1750.00

all the info 1997 mustang v6 conv auto to 1999 mustang gt conv auto



First I will list the parts that were required to do this swap
Major components
Engine 1999 4.6 sohc 46xxx miles
Transmission auto tranny out of a 1999 gt
Rear end 1999 cobra irs
