how much would it cost to put this engine in my car? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...QQcmdZViewItem

 

well u figure that engine is gonna go for 4k easy and u might as well add 2k for various crap so 6k if u do it your self.

 

how hard would it be to put in? i need more hp one of my friends just got a 1997 gt with 400+hp

 

well buddy ill be honest, that mach1 is about 310hp "if im not mistaken" thats 90+ hp off, to be honest its not even closely worth the amount of moneyit would take to just convert your car to itand as I think I dont think the engine will even fit in a 98 "could be wrong though." Ohh and as your friend 97 400+hp I hope he has a v8 and some major F/I thats pushing it on a 97 mustang.

 

they rebuilt the entire engine, it is a v8 he is a spoiled rich kid

 

ok, well ill be honest if hes a teen, his parents r retarded for giving him that big of a engine. but if u really want the car ill support it and so would everyone else here. But your money would be so much better spent on a N/A V8 or heck even F/I V8. 6k is alot of money and thats just a rough guesstament. Cause you would need a new rear end, suspension, hood + paint, motor mounts. and thats just all i can think of off the top of my head.
So I guess more like 10k imcluding buyin the engine. It would be kool to do it cause iv never heard of anyone putting a04 Mach1 into a 98. But your going to put more into the car then its even worth imo " not dissin ur car cause i dont know what u have or what it even looks like" just sayin 10k is alot of dough.

 

Why do you need more HP? You'll never reach 400 HP off any stock engine unless it's a 03/04 Cobra engine or new GT500 engine. And this swap is soo much more work than it's worth. Just buy a V8, at least you'll have a better starting number.

 

if he was a spoiled rich kid, he wouldn't be driving a 97 GT.

 

yea he would be driving a new gt with alot of hp

 

Id rather drive a older gt that was built then a new gt that wasnt built
