head swap

how hard would it be to do a pi swap.would it braek the bank or there are better ways to gain hp.

The PI swap is a very popular swap for the 96-98 mustangs. Picking up the cams and intake is the cheapest/easiest, though finding the heads for a good price is a little bit more difficult. They have definitely went down in price so just search around and you can find a good deal.
If buying used look to spend around $100 on the PI intake (with alum crossover), another $100 on the cams, and I have been watching heads go for $250-300 and some even with cams installed still. The install is the factor that most consider when they skip over the PI heads as it's not too easy of a task and a shop is going to be quite steep. The heads also bump the compression and some fear that.

Are there any mods on the car that you know of?

 

[maxjavt4]

no none that i know of but feels far to torqy for a stck car.i does have 2.5 inch stock exhuast.and is louder than other stangs i heard.

 

[maxjavt4]

i got a closer look at my cast # on the head rf f5ae 6090 b22a. that woul say 1995 but my motor looks 4.6 weird.?????

 

[bdcardinal]

could be a long block or heads from a 95 crown vic or t-bird

 

[maxjavt4]

but those are 5.0 are they not?

 

[bdcardinal]

put up a picture of the motor. does it look like other 96-98 GT motors? you cant use a 5.0 head on a 4.6 motor.

 

[maxjavt4]

looks like a 96-98 motor straight up.with the pony on the plenum.

 

[bdcardinal]

probably just put in a low mileage crown vic or t-bird long block. i wouldn't worry about it. you definitely want to swap to PI heads though.

 

[d98gt]

Are you able to contact the previous owner? You might want to ask him what's all in there so you won't run into any surprises

 

[maxjavt4]

he is a dum ass he dont about stangs. but the car feels strong as hell.stock to i wanna get 2.5 inch x pipe 373 gears to start off.
