As I understand it, in mid 2001 Ford ran out of and/or upgraded a few things on the GT's. Some of the parts include: waterpump/pulley, TR3650 Transmission with O/D, etc. Does anyone know the full list of parts this included? My production date is March 2001. I have ran into problems ordering parts from the Ford dealer and aftermarket companies. My local Ford dealer in Atlanta, GA doesn't seem to believe me on this one! I almost always seem to get the wrong parts and have to re-order them. Any help is appreciated!!!!Mid 2001 and up GT?
- Thread starter STEEDA_GT
- Start date
the only "major" differences you already know of, the trans and the water pump and i'm guessing yours has the later stuff since March is pretty far into 2001 production
what parts have you ordered that were wrong?

I'd be more inclined to believe that you have an earlier model, with the T-45 transmission. I had a 2001, and it was May/01, and it had early stuff on it. You can get a guaranteed answer by looking at the transmission code on your driver's door id tag. One letter will be for the T-45, and the other will be for the T-3650, with the T-45 being the earlier stuff.

99-00 had Windsor engines, before and after (including 'o1) were Romeos
one had a bolt on style cam gear (windsor i think) the other was pressed on if that's what you meant by different overhead can configuration

According to the Ford Racing catalog, look at your VIN number. If there is an X as the 8th character you have a Windsor motor.
This info is on page 80. I have a Windsor motor and my car is an 01.

the X in the VIN means you have a 2v 4.6, has nothing to do with what block you have

Ummmm well what if that 8th figure is a W? According to Ford the W indicates a Romeo engine. Figures,....

check eBay or Autotrader, all the 99-'o4 GT's have an X as the 8th digit
the W is for 4.6 Crown Vics
Check your driver's door for a sticker and look under "TR" for a "K". If you have a "K" then you have the 3650 Transmission. That means you have the later version of everything for 01.

I would say March 2001 is the late TR3650. According to the computer at work, the production date spliting the parts it askes before 2/21/01, or after 2/21/01. The water pump and pulley changed as well.
