    T45 or T3650

    I have a 96 GT and need to rebuild my T45. Gears are grinding and I'm thinking it will be just as cheap to buy a new T3650 tranny. Just want to make sure this will still bolt directly up to a 96 GT. IS there anything I would need to swap out?

    A valuable lesson for people doing PI swap

    Btw I noticed that init signaure that u have had the car tuned with ur sct to the 93 octane tune. You'll want to be careful when u do the pi swap because of the increased compression. Increasing the compression increases the need for higer octane. The sct advances the timing which also requires...

    What do improve while the motor is torn down?

    Well I don't plan on going forced induction on this car. Where is a good place to get a windage tray? As far as mods go the car has a full pi swap and that's about it.

    What do improve while the motor is torn down?

    So as I said in a previous thread of mine, I got angry at the noise from the engine that I couldnt find so i just yanked the motor and tore it completely down. The plan is to freshen it up, it did after all have 185k miles on it, but while its down are there any improvements I can make to gain...

    PI Swap Unidentified Noise

    Found the noise. somehow a socket go in behind the flywheel, which is odd because as you know you dont have to do anything even close to the flywheel to swap heads. Only reason I found it was because i got pissed off at the whole thing and just yanked the motor haha.

    Identifying PI intake?

    As for the hole through the the center of the runners on the bottom, Dorman makes a PI intake manifold that is a direct replacement for the later model 4.6s and their's doesnt have a hole through the center either. Problably isnt a factory manifold, most likely aftermarket.

    PI Swap Unidentified Noise

    I just finished doing a full PI swap on my 96 GT and after putting the car back together, I am getting this unidentifiable noise coming from the motor. It's a very metallic noise but it is not a constant steady rhythmic noise. Its random, with different frequencies, it will slow and speed up...

    Need some tips on valve seals for the people that have done it. (engine on stand)

    I've got a set of PI heads that im about to put onto my car. I am having trouble with this as well. Anyone have experience with different valve spring compressors that will work on these modular heads. Please let me know.

    Salvaged/Wrecked 01-04 GT

    I would like the motor/trans to swap into my 96 GT and Id also like to do an interior swap if everything is still there, otherwise just use some of the parts out of the interior. Ideally I would like to find a car thats been wrecked in the back or the quarters.

    Good ET?

    Went to the track again after doing a full tune up. Oil change, spark plugs, air filter cleaning, fuel filter replacement. Didn't get much better. But at least I broke the 15s mark. Do you guys think that the fact that the car has 175k miles on it, that the rings are worn and are holding...

    PI Head Swap Question

    I know there are a lot of threads out there telling about how to do a PI head swap. However, there is a piece of information that I can't seem to find. After doing a PI head swap is it necessary to get the car tuned? Its obviously a good idea, but will I be running the risk of tearing...

    I HATE the previous own of my car.

    This guy was a moron. Grade A idiot. One of these people that never should be allowed to own wrenches. He installed 3.73 gears on my 96 GT and when he did he never bothered to set the back lash and tore all the carrier bearings and the pinion bearing up. He put Ford Racing shorty headers on...
