    Smog Legal Shelby 5.4 swap into my 4.6 GT?

    So I tried searching around different forums as well as here on SvtPerformance and I've had no luck finding and info on this swap. I live in California and they're strict about everything, but seeing that the motor was offered in the same chassis would it be possible to do? I'm aware of some of...

    Supercharge my 5.0 or swap a 4.6l 3v?

    Ok so I'm debating on wether to upgrade the internals and supercharge my 5.0 or swap in the 4.6l and tr3650 with 52,000mi from the wrecked 2006 gt I bought anyone care to point me in the right direction? I know the 4.6 will have better gas mileage and make 100 more hp than the 5.0 but I'm not...

    Lightning or Cobra swap?

    What would be a better swap for a SN95 (99-04) Mustang? A Lightning 5.4L 2v or a 03-04 cobra 4.6l 4v? I really love the look of the supercharger sticking out of the hood on the lightning swaps I've seen :rockon: but some buddies of mine were suggesting a cobra swap might be the better route to...

    Has anyone thought about/attempted this?

    So I've come up with this idea to put a Ford GT engine into a S197 Mustang. I know it sounds crazy but hear me out. I've been researching up on this build that Paul's High Performance did for the 2006 SEMA Show, and they basically stuffed the motor from the Ford GT into a v6 mustang. Some things...

    Is it a sin to modify a KR?

    So my dad has been looking to sell his 2008 GT500 vert and buy something new. I'm trying to convince him to purchase a KR because they just look so bad a**! But he doesn't like the fact that it's a "collectors car" that's supposed to be stored away and never touched and thinks it shouldn't be...

    Whipple 4.0L supercharger questions..

    Ok so my buddy purchased the motor out of a wrecked Ford GT and is planning to put it in some crazy build he's been talking about for a while now and he wants to know if it's safe bolting on the supercharger with the stock internals. I'm only familiar with the Shelby 5.4L's and as far as I know...

    What's better for me?..

    So I'm looking into purchasing a 1999 Cobra but I'm trying to plan out a few of my mods first. I was thinking about trading my brother my irs for his sra w/ 3:73s out of his mach but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. It won't be my dd, but I will be driving it a few times a week and taking it to...

    Block questions?

    How do the 07-10 Shelby block, 11-12 Shelby block, Ford GT block, and 13-14 Shelby blocks compare in strength and weight? I know the 07-10's are iron and are almost twice the weight of the other blocks, and that the GT block is a dry-sump block. But are the 11-12 blocks the same as the Ford GT...

    Info on 1999 Cobra's

    I'm looking into buying a 99 cobra but I had a few questions to ask before I make a final decision on the car. 1. Do 1999 and 2003 cobras share the same brakes? 2. Do 1999 cobras also have the teskid blocks like the 96-98 cobras? And 3. Is their any things I should check that arent obvious to...
