And it begins, owner of a 96 mustang gt for a year and already on the hunt for power lol...This hobby is addictive. :headbang:

Anyways like stated have a 96 gt and looking to do a engine swap with a budget between 2-4000$ Am thinking a P-I Engine swap with F/I in the future, But am loving the idea of a cobra powered GT. I know i am not going to be able to do a 03/04 32V swap under 4000$ and still have it reliable and a clean job but how Much work is a 96-98 cobra engine swap and can the engine be bolted right to my stock 5 spd tranny. How much h/p Can these 96 T45's Handle??

Thanks for any help!

if your budget is on the higher end (4k) you can do a coyote swap. look for a wrecked 12 or 13 f150. ask [MENTION=21235]neverenuff[/MENTION] thats what he did. i think he got the motor for like 1500

And not if you put a 4.6 intake on it all you would need is some adapter plates definantly won't breathe as well though

why go lightning though and ditch the supercharger? i mean i understand that if you go turbo, but other than that...why waste the money on a lightning engine just get a regular 331 from a expedition or f series

Well I'm saying lightning long locks are kind of expensive when he has a max of 4K to spend you can go regular 2v 5.4 and say down the road do a centrifugal or like you said turbo but if you can get a lightning cheap enough go with the lightning and I personally will deal with the hole in the hood I think it looks pretty badass plus you have a supercharger already

Oh and a shit ton of torque like everyone says no replacement for displacement and a lot of 4.6 parts work on the 5.4

Dude the OP is six years old! The t45 will hold...if you aren't launching at 6k (baby it) but if you break it-boom! Your budget went from $4k to $6k for a reliable trans/clutch. 2v's are great, easy to work on and most of the performance parts are 1/2 of 4v's. Both are great engines and I have to say....2v's sound better!

Haha! Yup, best $1500 I've spent on my car. Well plus some $$ but that is irrelevant. Will say my next car won't be a car at all but a pre-1975 truck with some form of coyote power plant. Are they wrecking gt350's yet?

No need for spacers, cut an aluminum 4.6 intake down the center and weld back up.
