I am getting my GT500 Super Snake this Monday. I am also getting all the take off parts from the GT500. I want to install they on my 2006 Mustang GT.
1) Will the Hood from GT500 fit on the Mustang GT. Direct bolt on? I know the head lights and front bumper are different.
2) Sense the parts are free, Would you install the shocks, sway bars, springs from the GT500 on to the GT? or Get new spring, shoock, saway bars. Will the springs from a GT500 lower the GT any?
3) What brake pads and Stainless steal lines do you recemend for the GT500 brakes that I am putting on the GT?
4) What other parts can I use for my GT? I know about flooor mats, caps, and such.

I already have a Whipple on GT. So I have a stock GT500 Super charger for sale. Let me know if interested.

The hood will not work on a GT unless you swap the bumper as well. The pillars next to the headlights will get in the way and the hood will not close.

You're probably going to have a hard time selling the supercharger because it will only fit the 5.4, not the 4.6

Parts come of a GT500 to make it a SS and he is using those extras for his GT where he can.

Ohhhh...I thought he was getting one right from shelby...But I guess if you were getting it done to your already owned GT500 you should get the parts they take off....In that case do they put new seats in or just cover the ones already there?

from what I've heard that is the way the SS is built. take a stock GT500 and rip off all the parts to replace and make the SS

I bet if you went to one of the F150 forums, you'd get a few offers. I don't think anyone here would buy it unless they are doing an engine swap

Well thats funny because my hood closes just fine on the gt500 bumper cover. The forword rib on the hood is what touches the center of the grill.

Not sure if this is true or not, but I've heard that the GT500 hoods would not fit a GT/V6 front bumper, however, GT/V6 hoods fit on the GT500 bumpers just fine. Supposedly because of the extra height of the grille.

Stock hood / GT500 bumper = OK
Stock hood / Stock bumper = OK
GT500 hood / Stock bumper = NOOO
GT500 hood / GT500 bumper = OK
