I finaly did it! I swaped it, no longer a v6!

After many months a spending back breaking hours and pleanty of money...I finaly got it finished and braught her home. I dont know if any of you really care to hear me talk but I just wanted to share it with ya and let you guys know im in the 4.6 family now. about 5 months ago i baught a used motor out of a wrecked gt to put in my 1999 v6 coupe, I thought it would be a straight and easy swap....well a t45, hydroaboost, dozens of lines and wiring harness's and many other pricy little things later, my car finaly came together and runs real strong...If any of you want i could post some pics. anyways heres a short list of what the car is runnin...

-98 4.6 2valve motor with the 99 P.I intake and ported plenum, has coil on plug igniton, and BBK under drives.

-has a BBK O/R X pipe fallowed by mac flowpath catback ( sounds awesome except for exhaust leak at the drivers side manifold)

-has the Gt gages, GT PCM, and steeda tri ax shifter

well thats all i cant think of right now. talk to you guys later!

peace,
ryan
 
Hey thanks fellas,

tomarow after i get her cleaned up reall good I will try to snap a few pictures and get them on here for you guys. I must say, I absolutely love my new power and TQ. feel, its incredible....i can be creepin about 10-15mph in 1st gear and just lay into it and man...the sound of rubber on pavement is music to my ears :p I also love the manual trans, shifting is alot of fun...really livens up the driving experience! so yeah...I have got on it a little bit, i think the tac has seen abou 5,500 rpms or so. I still gotta take it easy on here till i get a strong 8.8 in there. well, i'll keep you guys up to date, thanks for showning interest :nice: .

btw, what is the fuel shut off rpm at on the gt? is it 5,800 or 6,200 ?

thanks,
ryan
 
Kinda know how ya feel bro, :nice: i went the easier route by trading in my V6 a couple weeks ago. I'll give ya props for doin the swap, i thought about doin it, but it was my only vehicle and i need to drive to work everyday.

I actually have a year on my 7.5 and it hasn't bombed yet (getting replaced soon anyways). I was hoping it would break earlier so there were no reasons to wait on the 8.8!
