Mustang Motor swap

[96VERT]

Im looking to change the motor out in my 96 GT and was looking for input on what i should do. Should i look for a PI motor or should i build a 5.0 stroker motor. And if i was to drop in a 5.0 how hard is the conversion and what all would i need to make sure that it worked like it was supposed to. Any info would be Helpful!!!! :icon_cool:

You could also go 4V:pepper:

you planning on staying n/a or not? If you dont plan on going turbo or blown and are planning on staying n/a or nitrous then run your stock motor, swap out to some ported pi heads, and do a pi intake or even a p51 intake, and some cams. You will make more then a typical pi motor would with the same mods because of the bump in compression

Iv thought about doing a 4v swap but i havent been able to find one for it

i would like to run a supercharger some day but for the immediate future it would be na

I just did a 4V conversion from a 2V and you will need a lot of parts to complete is such as a full body harness, engine harness, computer, Heat exchanger and more. The 4V are expensive to buy as well however the power is completly different.

You could rebuild your motor or if interested I do have the full motor, trans, harness and computer with tune for sale on here as well.

go right through fox lake and order heads, cams, and intake from them. If you want to swap out rods pistons and that just go through mmr but at that point might as well just buy a new motor from them

what type of intake manifold and heads would work best if i want to supercharge it in the future but cant do it right now

That's something you worry about when you supercharge as each supercharger will dictate what manifold you use unless we are talking about a centrifugal. Any roots or twin screw will obviously require you to use whatever fits for the lower.

If you going with a novi, procharger, or vortech then go with a p51 intake you will see great gains n/a and blown. If you plan on going with a kb then no point in buying an intake

Sorry, we all forgot to ask. What is your budget?

[96VERT]

im still working that out but probably a few thou to begin with then more as it goes along
