@lexustech48 Thats what I think Ill do. And probably will lay down some thick dynamat under the rear seats to help with the noise.

gen 1 heads fit gen 2 short block. gen 1 cams would stay in it unless you want to buy after market. L&M may be what you want for 800-1000 whp. Gen 2 could maybe do that but it will be highly recommended that you get OPGs and crank sprocket. I dont know how long a gen 2 would last at over 800...

@boduke0220 Thank you! @merkyworks Darn, I was under the impression that these Shelby engines had good parts namely OPGs to start. Not coyote level OPGs. From my understanding, banging the rev limiter and 2 step (dont have) was what broke OPGs. Since I've had it, I've tried to stay off the rev...

Ah gotcha, yeah I almost did a rear seat delete and X brace when the car was an actual V6 hahaha. But ill probably end up saving for some drag shocks to help put the power to the ground since my shocks are nearing 60k miles of abuse.

@Weather Man oh! Do you think its worth it for a straight line car? I dig and roll race every week and thats about it.

@Catmonkey @RBB I want to go Lund eventually. I was thinking about LTs with stock mufflers and maybe some vacuum controlled cutouts, but $$$. If insurance gives me more money than I will need, LTs or a TVS could come into the picture. But you add one and then you need injectors so say 1500...

I have heard great things about those Michelins mentioned above, I have had NT555G2 and they work well but wet performance is not good after half tread life, at quarter tread life, I go 60-65 in rain tops. I've ridden in a 2009 GT500 with R888s and those tires are pretty impressive compared to...

In early 2018, I completed a 2007 GT500 swap in my 2008 V6 Mustang. It took me 2 months coming home from school 2 hours away every weekend to work on it. Best thing I ever did and was a great project to do with my dad. I brought the car back down to Columbus after the swap, but had told only...

Happy owner of my GT500 swapped v6 until in got hit by a multicar accident while parked. Another GT500 swap into another v6 coming soon.

I'm trying to figure out what I want to do next. Either pulley the hell out of the eaton or find a used TVS. Pretty cool type of vehicle we have. I have people DM me on instagram all the time asking about it saying they want to do the same and think its awesome, every so often I'm told my car...

Great info! Thanks for the reply! Right now I have 18x10 wheels in the rear.

Regarding tires and axles: for street digs and roll racing, do you think the MT S/S 275s are the right choice? I was looking at the 295s or 15 wides. Would I be asking for a bent axle? Thanks, Jacob

This guy is on street tires, no wider than 295. At the track, I have seen these things run high 11s because they cannot hook. That was going to be the weakness he has that I want to make my strength for sure.

I should have mentioned, rear end is 8.8 with Eaton Truetrac LSD and the 3.73s as I mentioned above.

Hi guys, So I searched around and did not find a specific thread for this, but.... I have my 08 previously V6 Mustang and swapped in an 07 GT500 engine with 19k miles. Not looking to get more power outof it right away as it is a scary amount of power going from my 210 hp V6. However, this...

Okay guys, but if I out the gt500 key next to the sensor that is around the ignition barrel and got the red security light in the dash to go away, does that mean a PATS relearn or delete wouldn't be necessary? I should've worded my question to say my main concern isn't the keys, but the fact...

So, I have finally finished swapping in my 2007 GT500 engine into my 2008 v6 shell. Upon putting the key in I had a handful of error codes, a couple were dealing with the PATS system. The red security light on the dash was blinking quickly. I cannot start the vehicle, the car wouldn't even...

I am still staying on here and plan on getting some pictures up when done. I was just saying that FB and IG are more easily accessible for me. In the end, I want to do a good write up on my project for any others that may be looking at this swap or want to take up a project. I know what you...

Hello again all, So I am around halfway through the swap. I have been trying to post updates on my instagram. If I am not replying on this forum, my apologies, but it does not notify me as often. Any questions or advice, feel free to DM me and you can also take a look at my progress...

He gave me the brake booster and steering column too with keys and remote fob. Still working on getting the 4.0 out as I've been working a lot. But the engine is home and I'll be getting started soon. Also, 19k miles on T6060... will the stock clutch be fine for just casual fun-having?

It is all stock, has the catted headers. The last E-check (Ohio) I had, they plugged into the OBD II port to see there were no codes and checked for cats. Did not check actual emissions (no hose on exhaust pipes). I was going to leave it open headers until I can afford the rest of the...

Hi guys, I know this conversation and thread has been posted about before, and I read it and joined the forum for more info since you guys may have a great deal of knowledge on the subject. I have a 2008 Mustang V6 Premium Pony Package auto. I found a 2008 GT500 engine with a T6060 transmission...

2008 Mustang V6, seriously considering 2008 GT500 swap.

Hi guys, I know this thread is very old, but I wanted to ask you guys since you guys have done and know more than me about this swap. I have a 2008 Mustang V6 Premium Pony Package Auto. I found a 2008 GT500 engine with a T6060 transmission (19k miles on eng and trans), here is a list of what...
