New Ford 5.0 Crate Motor

[Silvr04GT]

Hey guys,

Check this out: Ford 5.0 V8 crate engine on sale for $6,999

Anyone figure it'd be tough swap to get one of those put in a 99-04 GT?

from some other random blurb on the internet

You knew it would only be a matter of time before Ford would released the new 2011 Mustang 5.0 engine in crate form. Well that day has come. Custom car builders rejoice! For $6,999 suggested retail, you can order up your own complete Coyote 5.0 liter engine to bolt into whatever you want. The bolt patterns match up with the 4.6 engine family, so bolting into previous generation Mustangs is a natural fit.

wonder what the C.A.R.B folks would think about one of those in a 2000 GT?

It would image it bolt in no problem but what about the wiring and computer programing? Those motors are drive by wire.

i seen the new coyote motors already fro sale $6000 was the best price i saw. But... You will also have to add the alternator kit going for $250 and the pcm and wire loom that will run you another $1400. But hey 412rwhp before a power adder is great. This whole kit is a bolt in for 99-2004. all i didnt research is the exhaust it doesnt come with and i dunno if ny 2001 headers will fit. someone else may know? e price of a good turbo or blower on your 2v still wont give you what this package will. Im considering this my self.

What would you do about a tranny? Use the MT82, or substitute? I am rather interested in this, now that I realize the price...of course depending on what the tranny would cost. Anybody know of a price of the MT82, or good substitute?

Since posting this I've done some more research and the other components you need for this swap are headers and mid-pipe. BBK I believe makes a set specifically for this swap. You also have to decide how much you like A/C. Ford Racing sells a kit to mount your hydraulic power steering pump where the A/C pumps goes on the new cars. Either that or get an electric power steering rack or a manual steering rack. In my mind if your doing this to a street car you're gonna want A/C and not manual steering. Anyone know how much an electric power steering rack runs?

 

[slimjimi09]

I didn't even think of that stuff. Check fordonlineparts.com I am not very mechanically inclined to know what's needed for a/c and power steering. They also have prices there for the MT82. Late Model Resto has the headers and what not.

IS it possible to put one of those in a 99-04 3.8L?

 

[Maxpowers]

99-04 engine bay is the same minus a few small things. Asking that question would tell me you should have a shop do this swap if you are considering.

Seems like it would cost way too much at the end. May have $9k-$15k by the time you are said and done.

 

[duuscru2]

i think it said you can use your existing tranny. does that sond right? are the bellhousen bolt the same pattern, oh well keep saving and buy a brand new one someday
