Not with just swapping the cams. You're going to at the very least swap the intake with the cams, and run 4:10-4:30's out back. A bigger T/B and upper plemum wouldn't hurt either. But even then, you're just barely going to crack them on street tires.RalphWT said:Ok so what if I use stock heads & intake, can I swap cams, can 13's be reached
All pre-03 Mustangs had intake problems....the all plastic ones have a tendency to crack. But that's easily fixes....especially if he does the intake swap.merc123 said:97 GT's I think had some issues with their intakes, didn't they?
Nope, PI's suffer the same fate. Only the manifolds (PI or NPI) with the aluminum crossover are safe. I've got an intake sitting in my garage from an '02 GT that's all plastic. Mind you, it's brand new (16,000-miles) and isn't cracked, but it's not the updated on.merc123 said:That's what I thought. Non-PI right?

As fast, if not faster.RalphWT said:OK so with the PI swap will it be fast than the 99-04 GT's ????
Your right...it is damn sad. It's a good thing that the SN-95's do everything else better than a Fox, to make up for it, right.Jo_885o said:Should have stuck with the fox...........For a modular to get in the 13's u need all of that: spray gears etc..... Damn sad story.
Be careful when you say "modular." A lightly modded N/A 4V would hand your car it's ass.Jo_885o said:Should have stuck with the fox...........For a modular to get in the 13's u need all of that: spray gears etc..... Damn sad story.
And let’s not even compare how a 4.6 SOHC/DOHC mod motor responds to forced induction, compared to an old Pushrod 302....the phrase "More Bang for the Buck" comes to mind!Joes95GT said:Be careful when you say "modular." A lightly modded N/A 4V would hand your car it's ass.
The 97 is a viable contenter once you consider a few things....
A headswap for a 5.0 is going to be just a few hundred bucks less than a 2V head swap. Once you cam and gear the 2V right, it'll run right with any heads/cam/intake-swapped 5.0. The aftermarket is starting to come around for the 2V cars - once there becomes a larger selection of camshafts, manifolds, etc., the 4.6 2V will really start to show that the difference in cubes (between it and the 5.0) doesn't mean much.
