Hello. I plan on attempting an install of a 2005 4.6L 3v in my '99 GT and am wondering if anyone here has heard of it being done. I'll end up getting the 3v motor built (along w/ head work, cams, etc..) so any suggestions/recommendations on shops would also be appreciated. I'm currently leaning towards the MMR900 shortblock. Goal: 625-675rwhp using a procharger D-1sc or F-1. This car is not a daily driver. Thanks for your help.
If you build a 3-valve with ported heads and go with an F1, it'll make more that your goal easily. We made 770 RWHP with a Livernois built shortblock, stage 1 heads, and stock cams in a 2005 Mustang with a F1-A w/ 4" Pulley. -Rick
I've heard of the Livernois setup & like it. I've also contacted them & am waiting for their reply. Anyone know what kind of intake they're using? I hear FAST is coming out with one this spring (appears to have longer runners & claims 40hp gains over stock intake (?)). Also curious how they tuned their car. Thx for the ideas..
Stock intake. Custom tuned by Dan Millen using SCT Software and X-Cal 2. I drive the car quite often and it drives stock (until you lay into the gas of course) other than hearing the loud blower whine.... -Rick
member billfisher did a 5.4 3V swap into a SN95. contact him, as he can assist you with many of your swap specific questions. here is his profile... http://forums.stangnet.com/member.php?u=91963
Stick with the spanish oak pcm if you want the variable valve timing and the great benefits it offers.
that was a 2V 5.4L, and he's an engineer so his assisting is hard to follow when he talks Original poster: You are better off choosing a 4V engine since it has better grounds for power and fitment
Don't know if you guys have seen this (or if I'm just slow..): http://www.rpmoutlet.com/05gtati.htm Claim an stock '05 GT w/ P-1SC makes 600rwhp+. So.. I'm wondering if a D-1SC can make the 700rwhp (on a built 3v w/ stage 1 heads)
