I was considering swapping my V6 for the 4.6L V8 in the 05 GT's. How could I get my hands the engine, and about how much do you think it would cost. We it be cheaper than putting a turbo or supercharger on mine?

With the amount of money it'll cost you for the engine and labor, you could get so many power mods for your 6 that the only thing that could beat you would be a modded 8.

Thats what I was thinking, im probably just gonna slap the Powerhouse turbo on there and be done with it.

a HIGHLY modded 8, a 4.6 is gonna run u 3-4 k USED, then ur gonna need tranny, computer, have it installed, motor mounts(?) labour = 10 hours at LEAST at 150 an hour = WOW THATS ALOT OF MONEY!

Get ur v6 built up and be a "sleeper", then smoke anything that trys to pull you.

just my 2 pennies worth

The engine swap that i would like to di is switch to an old ford carborated v8 without the emissions and everything...Such as a wedsor crate motor or something

haha actually if i was gonna do an engine swap i would never bother witht the 4.6

u would throw something in there that was a little more stout
like a 351 or even a 427 if you got the ***** to make it fit

take my advice and mod the v6
take that 6 grand and do a supercharger and heads and cams and pistons
you would prob be somewhere int eh 400 range
i dunno how long the motor could take this though

are you all insane? If you are gonna do a swap you should definately get the 04 cobra motor!!! you would be running mid-low 12's! it would be damn expensive though. You would definately need around 10 grand, but god would that be amazing.

build up the bottom end on the six perhaps an aluminum racing block and boost the hell out of it. youll be 450 at the wheels. porsche makes 550 on their turbo i6

See the thing is though...How much power can we put into our engines before they are un-reliable....Im just no sure how far this ranger/explorer engine can be pushed...

Actually im dropping in a 427, because my plans for this car have changed with a bonus of 7figures . Still love the look of the mustang but now have the money to drop in a 427 and then get a huge F&F style blower. As soon as its done i will put pics!
