96-98GT possible builds...

[MustangFreak]

hello so if you didnt know im planning on getting a 96-98gt, possibly a 94-95 5.0 if a cheap one comes along but could really use your knowledge and advice on to what route to go. Im not really interested in their stock engines as my plan is to swap in a ford crate engine ( the Boss 302 or the 363 ) are the choices i was looking into. Thoughts, ideas ??? pls and thank you. I know the 302 is built to play with forced induction but while the 363 is "500hp" is it possible also?

i dont know why you'd buy a 4.6L based car to drop in the 5.0. just stick with a 5.0 and drop in the crate engine. probably a much more straight-forward project.

i think i confused you.. i dont want a 5.0...i want a 96-98 gt but would be settling for a sn95 5.0 if found a cheap one...would a crate engine into a 4.6 not be the right thing to do? sorry im kinda mixed up now...

 

[MustangChris]

well, ford sells 4.6 crates that would probably be easier to drop in, opposed to a 5.0 crate.

4.6L aluminator, for example.

ok i understand now, so if im looking at the 302 or 363 i should be looking to getting a 5.0 stang right?

 

[MustangChris]

thats what i would suggest.
