If the dreamed about(vapour right now) Boss comes at the rumoured 1000 units, you can forget about getting one for less than 75 grand. The ADM's on the GT500 will look like free samples of shampoo in that case...
GT500 engine swap in a Mustang GT...

LOL, you're going to be waiting for a while because the new Boss will not have a 425hp N/A 5.0L Hurricane motor. ;-) Motor Trend will be eating crow hardcore on this one.
Andrew,
Have you heard anything about any Mustang in the near future coming out with a NA 331 in it? I would think if anything was SAE'ed at 425 NA it would have to be larger than a 302... not to mention, I am sure if something did come out with such numbers, it too is going to be hard to get ahold of until numbers hit the street. And of course, major adms as well. :bored:

You must be mistaken the BOSS crate engine for an upcoming model. Actually, The only thing thats most certainly coming is a BULLITT edition.
It was shown at the "showroom of tommorrow" that Ford held.
All the press about the BOSS production car is speculation at this time.
Besides, Shinoda owns the rights to the name BOSS. Not Ford.
The same with GT-40. Thats why they called the Ford GT a "GT" and not a GT-40. Even though the roofline was 44".
I talked to my dealer about it and I was the only one that knew something about it. I think most dealerships are not going to have a clue about this car and see it as some thing like a Bullit or Shelby GT and not a major collector like the GT500. The hurricane is gonig to have to be in the 400hp range cause that is the next engine to go into the 09' stangs, and to compete with the camaro and challenger ford is going to have to bump the power. I did read that KB thread but that is not where i got my info whipple post #'s on their site for 800-900 posible with race belt system(which has not come out yet)but Livernois themselves with actually talking to them and their several write ups on their Black S-197. but i know as the saying goes there is always someone faster and there is always someone hotter when talking about women. I just want to be one of the fastest:thumbsup:
the boss will be huge when it hits dealers and believe me the dealers will know about it and spread lies about it as always!
I am just saying the average dealer won't until they start getting tons of people in asking about it and trying to put money down on them. It's the fanatic collectors that drive the prices up so friggn' far. And my dealer knew about the Shelby Cobra roadster i was a bit surprised that they had not heard about the Boss. Sure wish Ford would bring the Cobra into production.

Hold your horses buddy, I never said anything about something coming out.. someone else did. I only ask Andrew if he has heard of a possible future Mustang coming out with a NA 331 in it.
Plus, everyone here already knows your scoop above. I would call you captain obvious but I don't know you so I'll just reiterate... I mentioned nothing about a Boss coming out, so no false speculation ever came from my keyboard. :thumbsup:

The 302/331 are windsor/pushrod derivatives to be sold only through FRPP not for use in production Fords. The new Boss will be powered by a "Boss" engine 2v/OHC; it was originally alleged to be 5.8L but now will likely be a 6.2 (MT is in the approx HP ballpark). A year or so after the Boss debuts the Mustang GT will also get the 6.2.
There's simply no way Ford can make 425 emissions legal HP with a N/A 2v 5.0L V8 when Chevy/Dodge need 6.0+L to make the same power.

Also cheapest ive seen a GT500 long block is like 15k or something like that. Livernois has gotten over 700hp out of a built procharged 4.6 3v. why not just build that.
sooo the 08 Bullit will have a 6.2L 400hp engine?

no the bullitt will have 5-25 more hp than the mustang gt.
yea 400+hp won't be until 09'-10' but i belive the 150's will get the new engine a year sooner.
This is a little off topic, but it has to do with GT500 part swaps. What about the possibility of swapping the new GT500 6spd tranny into a 03 Cobra? Is that a poor idea? I hear the GT500 tranny is like heaven compared to the 03/04.
Not sure I don't see why not I think the T-6060 is basically a upgraded T-56Lethalchem said:
Tremec is going to start selling the new 6spd as a unit in its self...its also basically the same oem trans in the new 600hp 08 Viper

the 5.4 is a 330 NOT a 331, btw just save yourself the trouble and hold out for a real GT500Almo said:
So did you ever do this swap?
I was thinking about this swap the other day.... You can find a GT for $20,000 or just under now. Karkraft has the GT500's for $14,500, and you figure you could sell the stock 3V engine complete for $2g's. Personally I would run a GT auto trans with the GT500 motor, running off the 3V eec. :read:
I think it would be cool... hell I use to have a GTerminator, a GTshelby would be cool :shrug:
