GT500 engine in 06 Mustang V6
 

Hi, I bought some time ago a cheap 2006 Mustang GT V6 and I´m planning to modify it to the GT500 front with the SuperSnake hood and the GT500 engine + tremec 6-speed transmission.

I also plan to use the ford racing drag pack and the handle pack.

As I saw on pictures, the 5.4L V8 needs other cooling-parts, oil-pump and so on.
My question is, do I need the whole equipment for the engine to replace the old parts or will there be some of the V6 parts compatible?

Buckman has a GT500 in his. Here is his info: http://www.pacana-mustang.com/
Mike@Powerhouse did all the work on it, he also put a 5.4 3v in mine. Both jobs were very well done.

Flapjack as also done a 5.4 3v conversion and has a lot of knowledge on this as well.

was it a v6 or gt?

why don't you just buy a GT500 :D

because a single gt500 is much more expensive than modify my mustang v6, which costs 12000€ as I bought it.

so i will get a supersnake for much lesser than a regular gt500 will cost. I´ve read on a webpage, that listet the supersnake-package, that a regular gt500 costs minimum 45000 $.. including the SS-package its around 75-80k $

my planned project therefore will cost around 40k €!

Point on other motors, best bet is to stick with a mod motor, so the computer can marry up to it and the electronics in your car.

no, I want to build in the ford racing supercharged V8 with 500hp, its a sort of a smaller version from the supersnake engine, which also is avaible.
the 500hp-machine is full dressed and comes with the supercharger, ofcourse there is a wiring and PCM kit avaible for it.

an other question, will the axis from my V6 be strong enough for the 500hp V8?

You will want to upgrade to a 8.8 rear.That is whats stock on GTs and T 500s. The 7.5 will not survive with that power level.

damn, you guys are pretty hardcore.. I am glad I didn't get into a project like this. Being OCD I'd spend my every waking moment on it until it was finished. It's a great project indeed.

(-:

You will want the GT500 suspension under there as well
and the brakes as the engine is quite heavier than the V6.
Heck, after you are done, it wont be a V6 at all.
Might as well buy a GT500 and work a little harder
to be able to afford it.
The electronics are going to be a biatch unless you work
at a Ford Dealership. Good luck and keep us informed.
Here are some wiring diagrams you will need.
