As the title states..

Will be helping a buddy of mine drop a 5.4l (over-bored .20) in his '99 GT when he gets back from Iraq this winter. Figured it wouldn't hurt to troll around and learn a little something about these here motors...


Thanks,

Levi

 

Welcome to MF!

That swap sounds like it will turn that 99GT into a pure monster. Good luck with it!

 

Yeah, it should be... thinking we'll be turbo charging it as well, I can't remember off the top of my head if he was going to go turbo, S/C, or just stay N/A... either way it will be a nice little Skyline killer here on the island. I won't even be ashamed if he can take my little toy ^_^.


Is the 5.4 transplant very common? Aka, anybody know of any pre-existing walk-throughs??

 

Hi Levi, welcome to the forums.

My previous vert was a '99 GT 5-speed but all I ever put into it was a performance chip, sorry. Try your question in the 4.6 modular section.

 

Welcome Levi,
Ask lots of questions cause there are some very knowlegable members here.

Welcome to the forums Levi.

 

Welcome to the forums and I hope your friend gets home soon.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys (and girls) =)

 

I'm honestly more liable to just lurk, listen, and learn... I data-dumped just about everything concerning piston engines several years ago when I switched over to a rotary. Thinking I'll have to spend some time at howstuffworks.com before I start asking Mustang specific tech questions =P
