ok so i have seen people do the swap and people are talking about it everywhere but i have a few questions on doing the swap. saw a guy with a TT 5.4 making 1100rwhp at 25lbs of boost! and it made me start do dream and really think about it. im finding the 5.4 block everywhere (new built able to hold 900hp for 6k and ones that new a rebuild for 200) and it made me think. i have always dreamed of getting 800rwhp+ never thought id be able to get it out of my 2002 gt. so made me look into the swap even more.
people say that the swap is easy but i would still like to keep the car street legal. yes i know im also going to have to replace just about everything on the car to be able to hold that much power and put it to the ground, but would the computers hook up or what would i have to do so it would pass emissions?
how hard would it be? am i better off selling my 02 and buying a fox body because no emissions?
am i better off finding a block that needs to be rebuild, or going to a company and buying a fully build motor from them and telling them what i plan on doing to do?
also does 800whp sound right for lower boost on a fully built 5.4?
if to do the swap what should i go with 2v,3v,4v?
and for all the smart asses who are just going to talk
