Ok well after some research I've decided not to take a chance on the procomps. So what would be a good head intake combo for the street in an automatic convertible with 3.73 gears. The reason I set the 300hp goal was cause I want the car to run similar to a 3v. It will never see any real track...

On an otherwise all stock '95 gt. I'm talking at the flywheel. I was thinking gt40 intake, shorty headers and the procomp 190 cc heads, 1.7 rockers on the stick cam. What do you guys think?

Honestly I was just thinking a used GT40 intake, some gears, some decent heads and maybe a cam. I like the sound of a nice cam but it seems like alot of work to pull off the front dressing just to have a nice sound. I would probably try to pick up all the pieces used except the gears

I kind of thought of that plus isn't the 5.0 more torquey then the 4.6 making it feel faster on the street?

Overall both cars are in the same condition, same mileage, both autos, within $200 of each other. My goal is to have a fun street car and it will most likely never be raced. I will be doing the work on these myself. Most mods will be very mild. No strokers or superchargers. I'd be willing to do...

I have a 2001 GT that has developed a low end knock. I have sitting in my garage a low mileage 5.4 from a 2002 F150 that was intended to go into another truck I had. If I replace the 4.6 with the 5.4 will I have to get it tuned? Please keep in mind that this is by no means a race car. It's an...

Correct,,,,since these are mass produced engines Ford of course has tolerances. It's when all of these tolerances get stacked in the same direction that you get the large variances.

How loud is it (the blower) driving down the highway and "normal" around town driving?

I can't figure out how to PM on this forum :doh: Shoot me a PM and I will reply back. Thanks

Actually the injectors are included 30#er's I think. Those are great numbers

do you still have this?

Off topic a bit but are you still running your SVO blower? I saw on another forum you had put down over 300 hp before the MHS cams on a dynojet. I have a change to pic up one complete brackets and all for around $1500. I know these kits were made for NPI motors but this one did come off of a PI...

So the consensus here seems to be if sticking with the stock cams don't worry about it. What if I was going with a set of aftermarket cams? I "think" I have the tools as I have done this on push rod motors but I have not researched to see if there are any modular specific tools needed.

I was planing on degreeing them before I put the new motor in. Do people find a lot of variance in the stock units?

Would advancing the stock PI cams give me any more low end or mid range power? I'm replacing the motor in my 01 GT due to a thrown rod. My plans are full or mid length headers, full exhaust, pullies, CAI gears and probably a tune. This would be perfect time to throw in some cams but the cost is...

This is the route I was kind of leaning towards. I was thinking the Crane Stage 2 Z Cams or Houston Performance regrinds. Along with headers, bolt-ons,3.73 or 4.10 gears and a tune. Why the long tubes over the shorties? Also would a truck motor work? Thanks for the input all. bob

This is strictly a street car and is automatic. I plan to do cams, headers, CAI, exhaust and maybe pullies on the 2v if that is the route I go. Headers, CAI,exhaust and maybe a cobra intake on the 4v if that is the route I go. The swap seems pretty straight forward and I can get low mileage Mark...

I commute 80 miles per day all highway 65-70 mph so mileage is a big factor. I can't find one solid reason not to buy a new v6 other then it's not a v8. My concern is I will regret not getting the v8 (cause I'm old and old school) but then will kick my own arse when all I do is drive the car...

A turbo really shouldn't effect highway mileage,,,,should it?

I need to replace my Focus and have been considering a new or newer mustang vert with the 3.7 sixxer. I had an '02 Gt vert but with a young family and a 80 mile round trip commute everyday it never was driven so we traded it off on a new car for my wife. Any ideas what mileage might look like in...
