rebuilding a 96 gt motor

[pr0f3ssor]

i have a 96 gt motor and i'm going to rebuild it and motor swap into my 2000 v6. am i able to bore the motor? are there any suggestions to help me gain power? should i swap to pi heads or purchase after market heads? any suggestions would help. thanks.

Not sure what your budget is. But I would go with a VT 302 stroker kit. VT heads, VT blower cams. And then throw on a T trim, and say hello to 600rwhp

yeah that sounds like the best plan. If you built you motor you would have about 13-1400 dollars in pistons and rods a lone then you will have to get it bored and things like that and you will run into a lot of time and aggravation. just buy everything from vt and you will be set on the right path.

i was told by ford that i would not be able to bore the 4.6 motor. is that true?

You can I believe...just not much at all. So just stroke it!

are the vt heads better than the pi heads from a 99 up gt? do u know the price on those?

The heads purchased from VT will be PI heads.

Just also keep in mind the added expense of beefing up the rear end, fuel, ECU, motor mounts, etc.. I dont know all the details in doing the swap but those are a few that come to mind.

The VT heads are ported and can come with any cam you want, but they are still PI heads. The point is Ford is the only company that makes our heads.

Damn Ford Dealer you can go in asking for a 00 or 02 cobra and they will tell you something stupid like we sell those all the time. O yea we just had one on the lot.

There F@#&ing idiots over there. Don't listen to Ford PERIOD. Just listen to these guys on the forums that have done it. T&J performance is really good in the 2v field everyone loves them here.
