time to upgrade ....

[Steven]

Good point bob. 3.8 is essentially the 5.0 K member.

 

[DropTopPony]

Yup, thats why most of the 6 swaps are to 5.0's.

 

[Steven]

No, I think its for another reason

thanks for clearing that up for me guys, and i was wondering about upgrading the radiator too, and will my stock hood clear the new motor or should i order an aftermarket one ?

 

[Steven]

Should clear. Not completely familiar with bullitt intakes though.

 

[DropTopPony]

Bullitt intake will fit under stock hood, not sure about a STB though.

 

[351mustang]

This is what i have to work with, your guy's help is very appriciated

 

[Paul]

Eeeewwww.

 

[351mustang]

Eeeewwww.

haha yeah, its not the cleanest motor but it will be before i have it installed into my car, was thinking of having the valve covers painted to match my car. i have access to a media blaster and a sand blaster at my parents autobody shop. believe me guess the motor will look beautiful before it goes into the engine bay .

 

[Paul]

I wasn't talking about the cleanliness of the motor. LOL :tongue3:

 

[351mustang]

lol my bad, yeah its a bit of a mess but for 2 grand for the wiring, trans, computer and motor im not going to complain

 

[2slo95fiveoh]

uh, that's not a Bullit engine... The Bullit engine has a completely different upper intake manifold that looks like this:

That engine appears to be a regular 99-04 PI 4.6 GT engine... somebody lied to you

 

[2slo95fiveoh]

Also, the Bullit Engines came factory with a Twin 57MM throttle body, where as the regular GT had a single 65MM

 

[351mustang]

really well thanks for the heads up guys, now im kinda dissapointed its not the motor i thought it was oh well atleast its still a step up from what i had

 

[DropTopPony]

yeah i looked at the pics and was like uh oh.... Bullitt intake is a nice piece and adds like $600 value to the engine over what you have. I might say something to who you bought it from if thats what they sold it to you as.

 

[2slo95fiveoh]

For sure.. I read some more info about the Bullit Engines, it sounds like they are pretty much the same thing as a regular GT engine,
but the heads have had slight work done (and of course the Intake manifold). According to what i read, the Bullit engine only pumps
out a whopping 5 more hp and 10 ft. pounds than a standard GT engine. But if the seller claimed it was a complete Bullit engine, then
I would be demanding an explination, as well as a partial refund since It was false Advertising.

i have another question to ask you guys, i was looking for a decent set of headers anyone have any ideas from past or present set ups ?
