Hey everyone, I just joined but i been checking out the site for a while. I just bought a good condition 96 Mark VIII engine im planning to swap into my 97 GT soon. I think I no what all is need to make it fit just working on gathering all the parts, my question is what hp should I be expecting at the wheels with the bolt ons im going with. Im looking for people that have similar combinations and there dyno/ track numbers to give me a good idea where I will stand. Thanks for all the help guys, Eric Mark Motor Cobra Intake manifold with 24lb. injectors BBK 62mm throttle body JLT cold air intake. 90mm SCT MAF BBK Jet hot coated Long tubes Off road X pipe Magnaflow cat back SCT livewire with dyno tune Stage 2 clutch w/ lightweight flywheel Aluminum Driveshaft and thinking probably a 50 shot So anyone with bolt on 96-98 cobra/Mark VIIIs that can help out with these parts or close to it and a small of nitrous will be very helpfull, Thanks Everyone
im not sure what kind of hp you will get....but that swap is a great idea.....i owned a 95 mark viii and i actually built it and ran the track a few times....basically the mark motor is almost like the cobra...a few differances tho.....for anyone looking to do a swap on a late model stang the mark dohc motor is a great choice....the motor is a strong running motor...mine hasd 175,000 on the clock...and it was a daily driver and took some track abuse...and ran like new when i sold it...i did maintain it well tho......anyhoo like i was saying the mark is a good choice cause there are a ton of marks out there that when the air ride goes out people just sit on them and will practically give them away.....and the motors are perfectly fine and strong...(goldmine)...good luck with the swap and i think it would be a smart move........
