5.4-liter, 3-valve TritonTM V-8 swap

[mike_phoenix]

Would a 5.4-liter, 3-valve TritonTM V-8 be a good swap to place in a 97 GT Mustang?

The new 5.4 liter, 3 valve engine has 300hp and over 325 torque.

just look my name in tech.

advice:

get an 4.6 75mm TB
105mm MAF
retard cams 1 upper tooth. save time experimenting.
get best 4.6 90 degree elbow you can.

it has 365 lb-ft.
getting 300+ hp takes mods. it doesn't make that stock even though ford publishes it. all the stuff i have added has just gotten it over 300.

I agree with bill the 5.4 is under rated I work at the ford dealership and the sales guys say they are even under rated.But with some mods i bet they can be good motor..

So, it maybe better to get a late model 4.6 engine in the new Mustang GT?
