I would think the easiest engine swap would probably be the 4.6 Litre Gt engine, I wonder if the 5.4 Litre from the Cobra will fit?

lol, I dont think a racing chip will get you the 200 hp you are looking for. Getting "400 or 450 hp" is very hard to achieve even with a supercharger.

How much u think I can squeeze outta this baby without fab though? I want as much as I can get. The chip would help but I know, not enough.

Just get like 7 ebay chips and piggyback 'em [8D]

You won't get 400hp on the 4.0 unless you upgrade the internals and then run high boost.
