I have a 99 V6 and i'm going to do the swap. I just bought a 2000 GT low miles for $2200, the whole car. It is going to be work. but for the price nothing beats it. What i think is that the V6 is putting 200+/- HP. by doing the swap it'll bring me closer to 280+/-. now i was reading somwhere that a s/c gives you about 80 hp with STOCK engine, no mods just the s/c. and the blower is close to 4k. so it'll be cheaper just to do the swap if you find a good deal like i did. now i found other pretty good deals in gt engines for $800 and core exchange. (for a V6 core exchange)but then i just bought the whole car for the price mentioned. So also i figure by doing the swap and putting a cam and headers and intake (i already am running dual ex.) then i'll bring it up to about 300hp. But i think it'll be better to do engine swap if you find a good deal and have the tools. also i think you'll get more hp. out of the engine (V8). now i do admire you guys running V6 and putting out 400+/- hp out of those engines! when stock they have 195, 200 hp. idk, but you are one of a kind. I am not trying to argure with anyone of prove people wrong, i'm just giving out what i think and what my plan are/and gonna do. But to each it own...
Hello everyone again!I have watched this post too my amazement several times an just shake my head in amazment.I must admit I am new to the mustang world,But not to muscle cars at all,All Ive ever owned are muscle cars an hot rods.An even though,yes this is a mustang forum,Arent we all forgetting what the true deffinition of a HOT ROD actually is??????????The man asked a question on what it would take to do the swap?This person came here for help,right?An forgive me if I am wrong,but out of 3 pages only a couple of people actually tried to answer his question?I own a 97 v-6 an believe me If I wasnt living on disabiltiy,Id like nothing more than to jerk that slow ass v-6 an dump it in the dumpster an put it out of its missery!No disrespect to the sixers,Just my own opinion guys.I hit a tree at 165mph with a 455 hurst yes hurst slapped in an old pontiac TA body an lived to talk at a later time an you will say yes a v6 stinks also!!But too each his own thats what Hot Rods are all about.Building a vehicle to ones own likings.Who cars if a sixer swapps cobra or gt badges,Its their car an the true enthusiast knows whats up as soon as the key is turned.But thats the fun of being in this hobby/business to some.Were here cause we love our cars an what we can do with them,why argue over who can do what,Like a man said earlier in this thread,shut up or put up,Take it too the nearest track an float them lifters fellas!I have loved rods all my existance an dont tell me that we dont all share that love.Throw me in a car pushing 1000 or more horses an tell me I aint gonna shove that gas peddle threw the dang firewall,lol!Why cause their isnt any better feeling in the world!!!!!!Take care everyone,Eric
i am debating trading my del sol for my friends 97 v6 auto because my car is worth about 3000 and his is mint condition with black bullitts on it and a few other upgrades, my friend told me a 4.6 will bolt straight up the the tranny.. is this true? im just looking into it beacause he can get me a motor for about 700 and me and him would do the swap ourselves. im sure ill need the ecm out of a gt. but will i need wiring harness out of a gt aswell?
