Engine Swap?
Has anyone ever thought to do an engine swap with a SVT v8? New to cars and to mustangs(srt-4's i know alot about) but any info is nice still reading most of the posts but looking now at first exaust and a reflash then mabey CAI? Im looking to get 450-500hps out of my new 06 v6 and figured only way to do that is with forced induction ++mods and N2O. Any Comments Ideas or imput?
Any help for the young new kid would be nice
Thanks in advance.

RE: Engine Swap?
How much money are you wanting to spend? And are you talking about power to the wheels? If so you have a LOT of work to do but i believe it is possible but im sure others will dissagree. Whether you go with a super/turbo or nitrous you're probably going to need some major internal work done also to reach that goal (heads, cam, etc.) Ive seen some '98 and older v6's doing 450-500 rwhp so im sure the 4.0's are capable. But it is going to cost you! Oh yea, and welcome to the forum!!! Im sure you'll enjoy being a part of it. I know i am!

RE: Engine Swap?
Would you think it to be cheaper to just buy a SVT engine and do an engine swap then mod that engine or just keep the 4.0 v6 and use the money for forced induction(when availible). What confuses me is the fact with an Srt-4 you could get those numbers with under 10k spent. Why is it so different for the bigger engine? Could it be the fact that these cars are so new? Just a thought....
Again thanks in advance

RE: Engine Swap?
yep. the powerhouse turbo is quite awesome. i know the MRT Cherry 6T6 is putting out 350 rwhp with a pair of Garrett turbos. so 400-500 hp is possible. i'm in agreement with other folks that are saying to beef up the internals of the engine before dropping a turbo or blower on it.
