    Mustang Motor swap

    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!!!!

    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

    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
