    1997 Mustang GT HP/TQ Potential Gains w these mods

    According to this guy, basic bolt-ons, long tubes and stage 2 cams with a tune will make 375 crank hp (this seems high). View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovh2Mx1losg This guy made 270 rwhp (310 crank hp) with stage 2 cams View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiNoPjXi6lg Brenspeed...

    Lincoln 4V swap to 97

    My biased opinion if you are dead set on a swap - https://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/5-4l-dohc-swap.879938/ Is the power potential greater on a 5.4 4v or 4.6 4v? YES. But you could throw some pistons into your 97 block (if they are damaged) and slap on some 4v heads or find a set...

    5.4l Dohc Swap

    2021 Update and the much requested Alternator Bracket: Here are a few pictures I was able to take of the setup. I have a mig welder and that made the process easier, but you could get creative I suppose with another method. I used the alternator off of a early 2000s Ford Taurus 3.0. It is a...

    5.4l Dohc Swap

    Hey medumdum! I live on YouTube, just not the upload side of things. I'll bump the thread on stangnet and you can ask away! The biggest hurdle is the intake. If you can swing the cost of a Boss 302 intake then the swap is super straight forward as you'll be able to mount the alternator in the...

    5.4l Dohc Swap

    medumdum3 days ago - From YouTube Found your post on stangnet and was wondering if you were still active. My 02 GT spun a bearing so I wanted to get some extra power since I need to replace the engine anyways. I found a 03 navigator local to me with 120k miles, bad fuel pump and no title for...

    Engine Looking for advice on a cobra swap into a gt

    This swap would be a little more straight forward than my 5.4 DOHC swap. The T3650 is good for about 400lbft of torque. Dark04GT mentioned that the oil pan, pickup tube, fuel lines and exhaust are all different. While this may be true, they should be direct bolt ins with any SN95 platform. The...

    Engine 5.0 aluminum head install

    Ensure you use thread sealant on the bottom head bolts as well. Some of these bolts go into water jackets and require sealant.

    2014 Mustang GT with leaking fuel line

    The fuel line on the 2014 runs along the drivers side. The fuel hat is under the rear passenger seat on the drivers side, the line connects there and runs in-between the body and the black plastic guard. It runs up into the front drivers wheel well and into the engine bay just under the brake...

    Best gearing in relation to wheel size?

    I had 4.10s in my 01. Highway driving at 70-75 will have her singing around 3,000RPM. 1st gear is useless and starting in 2nd gear will be more practical. You can use this gear calculator to determine RPMs and speed. http://www.mustangtek.com/calculator/calculator.html Unless you plan on going...

    2000 GT driving issues

    Monitor your fuel pressure. Might just need a new fuel pump.

    96 cobra swap!

    In terms of which body to use, that is entirely up to you. If the 98 is in rough shape and the 97 is in better shape then go with that body. GT and Cobra shells are the same. Bumpers, Hoods and interior are the main differences. The airbag is a non-issue as you can literally bolt in a new...

    5.4l Dohc Swap

    Update: I found a set of 99 Cobra Intake Cams and installed them back in March. Seems to have a bit more power. I haven't had the time to install the new fuel pump, injectors or fuel rail. I did have some fab work done on the fuel rail though. I also sourced and installed a Saleen 4.6 3V water...

    2001 Mustang Gt Convertible Auto

    I'd take it to a different shop going forward. Coolant in the transmission!? Ummmm....unless a heater hose is leaking I don't see it even being possible, and even if it was, how would it get into a sealed transmission and torque converter. You must be the one unlucky Mustang owner that had...

    99 Mustang.. 302-351 Swap Need Help

    You'll need a pressure regulator as the in tank fuel pump will push 40lbs of pressure or more...not good for a carb. You'll also need a stand alone ignition system from MSD or the like. You'll have to isolate all the needed wiring for ignition and fuel pump. You must remove the factory PCM...

    Mustang 2000 3.8l Exaust?

    I like the sound of the MAC cat back. http://www.americanmuscle.com/99-04-v6-mac-catback.html Here is a decent youtube vid of the exhaust: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV2l4Ri09mE Inexpensive and sounds decent.

    2000 Mustang V6 No Crank No Start

    5.4 Dohc With Coyote Intake

    5.4beast, I pondered this for some time when I did my 5.4 DOHC swap. I didn't come up with anything feasible. The 4.6 recirculates the exhaust gases through the back of the upper plenum and then down into the plastic manifold. If you could route metal tubing to the front of the coyote manifold...

    1999 Svt Convertible Sra Swap Ride Height Problems

    Hey furthur, You can go with either the vert or GT springs. They should be the same as new spring applications apply to both the GT and Convertable. The vert will be a little heavier than the GT, however the ride height difference between the two models would be hard to spot. PM me regarding...

    2000 Mustang V6 Upgrades?

    Hey Phsyco, Lowering springs and struts are always a great upgrade. You can do some engine performance bolt ons, but the yield is marginal at best. There are several articles out there about built supercharged/turbo v6 cars and this is definately the way to go unless you want to do a V8 swap. To...
