My friend and I were thinking of future options for his 99 GT. I noticed Ford Racing is now selling the lightning motor with the supercharger included. Has anyone ever attempted or herd of a 4.6 the 5.4 swap? FordRacing.com doesn't provide that much information yet.
5.4 Lightning Motor In 99 gt?

its possible, it's been done, theres alot of clearance issues though, with the deck high, and the top of the s/c being so tall, it's a hard fit, and if im not mistaken, you may have other clearance issues like brake booster/clutch master.. and you'll have some exhaust issues as well..but if all you can get is the engine, its not even close to being worth it..
personally, i wouldnt get it, there are more affordable swaps, 03 cobra not being one of them, i would probably look for a navigator 5.4 dohc swap, or a 99/01 cobra swap, because usually you can find them in drivetrain packages ie: engine, tranny, ecu, headers, h-pipe, wire harness and driveshaft for pretty reasonable prices
and since your in a v6, you're going to want to look into a brake, rearend, and some suspension upgrades as well when you throw that weight in there
good luck
