[QUOTE="Jad G, post: 5668486, member: 14624"] Yep its true i'm working on swapping a 5.4 lightning motor in my 97 GT and had a few Q's. Not only am i swapping in the motor but im throwing in a cobra T56 as well. I'm still gathering a few necessary parts for the swap such as heat extractor, clutch, flywheel, some idler pullies, etc. Anyways I have got a cai, 6# lower, cat-less midpipe and muffler curious to what numbers i will see because my goal is low 11's high 10's on slicks,eventually not necessarily om the stock bottom end or blower. idk i got a great deal on the motor and tranny and I thought it would be quite a different swap so i'll keep you guys posted cause im gonna have lots of questions. Oh and about the hood clearence, I lucked out and found motor mounts that drop modular motors almost an inch and i have a friend that does body work who is gonna make a custom hood with an existing cowl and some more work. i can't wait should be an awesome street/strip car!
