This is a very nice and very clean car! I can personally tell you that Jimmy hasnt molested it, or beat the hell out of it. And for the price, its a damn good car.

This would be a smart move

you will need the complete drivetrain. engine tranny and rear. the v6 had different tranny's and rears. you will need an 8.8.

If your going v8 a carbed 5.0 could possibly work with the t45 tranny you currently have but you would want to beef up the rear to a 8.8 minimum. I'm not sure if the motor mounts would need adaptors or not.

Do your research and decide which would be cheaper and more reliable. also keep in mind that an engine older than your model year vehicle is illegal (federal law) to be swapped into your car and street driven. My Blazer will need an LS1 or another 4.3 v6 if I want to sell it or if I move to an emissions state.

t45 trannys do not bolt up to 5.0 or anything other than 4.6s.....V6 mustangs of that year have a T5, but its not the same T5 found in the older 5.0 cars.

The list is this:

Engine
Transmission
Rear End
K Member for whatever application you decide to run
Custom swap headers
Custom tranny mounts/crossmember
Custom driveshaft needs to be made
An ass of odds and ends too

you will no longer have gauges that work, so you will have to buy other gauges (auto meter) to have funtionability.

Im doing my swap with more race that street in mind, so I have a lot of other expensive shit that im doing, but those things listed are just the basics to make it happen.

Whoops... Guess mine is illegal lol

SenorSmoothie · 12-26-2009, 06:45 PM

well how much would you want for the 01 gt?

SenorSmoothie · 12-26-2009, 08:19 PM

My bad I meant 2000 gt.

red99pony · 12-26-2009, 09:19 PM

conversion would be way expensive. how about putting a turbo on the six? i don't know it it would be cost effective or not but a thought maybe.

SenorSmoothie · 12-27-2009, 11:09 AM

I wouldnt see there being an issue with 8 or 9 lbs. A good tune would be the key.

SenorSmoothie · 12-27-2009, 12:16 PM

so about how much power would that give me?

should be about 320ish at least.

clubracergt1 · 12-27-2009, 12:25 PM

More.

Talk to Jimmy/Perm. He has a bunch of work into his Superchicken. Not sure what kind of power it makes; but it does move out pretty well, for a heavy car.

SenorSmoothie · 12-27-2009, 12:37 PM

oh okay. so if i were to put that supercharger on it what all would i need? an do you know where i could get upgraded cams for a 3.8?

This will give you an idea. Also, I don't think that the heads are the same as a sc. You could get the entire sc motor and swap it in. Hell, you could get the entire car for around 500 to 1000. (junk ones but complete) Take about 600 pounds out of the mustang, put the sc motor in and have some fun.
