Is it possible to get a 5.0L in a 01 GT

[collins8]

Just wondering is it possible to get a 5.0 in a 01GT. I love the body style of the new GT but I would like to stick a 331 with a vortech on it in the car, while keeping the AC and other accessories.
I know anything is possible but would it cost a fortune.
If there is any good threads on this ou there please supply me a link. I have searched with little luck.

5.0 is a 302. VT engines makes a stroker kit for the 4.6 to stroke it out to 5.0.

ditto...less hassle than swapping ie fuel system, computer...just get a stroker kit..or stroked and bored (324)

I want to put an R302 block stroked 331 in it. If it is that big of a deal I will look at the 94/95 GT's

then get a 94-95, less hassle but no modular for you

If your really set on the 331, your probably better off looking at the earlier stangs.
Why not do a 5.4 with a vortech or a forged 4.6?? Both good for 500 rwhp easy

Go for a 94/95.

is the car going to be driven on the street at all? if it is gonna be a pure off road race car then you could consider getting a body in white mustang from classic design concepts. the main problems you will run into when converting a 99+ stang to a 5.0 will be electrical, computer, and fuel systems. you could probably use a k member designed for a 94/95 stang.

If it is possible, I could get the parts. There is a shop op the road and all they do is repair salvaged title mustangs. They have everything one would need if it could be done. I wonder if anyone out there has done such a swap??
I think it would be nice to have something a little unique. I could car less if it had a slavaged title as long as it looked nice and ran good.

You'd be better off with a forged DOHC. Those things LOVE blowers.

this would be the way to do it, keeping the stock bottom end so that you dont' have to modify any motor mounts too much at all.

im thinking that you probably have that 331 right? therefore everyone saying you should get a forged 4.6 stroked to 5.0 would be a null point.

The front chassis is essentially the same from 94-95 and 99+. If you want the new body style, the tubular K-member for a 94-95 would fit with a little work and your 331 would work. Why not just go ahead with a 347? If you're going with a carbureted setup on the 331, it would eliminate A LOT of hassle

anything is possible, what state are you from by the way?
