What kind of swap should I do? I just bought a locked up 2000 GT with 90,000 miles on it. I'm debating on LS swapping it or 5.4 swapping it. I need advice on which way to go. I bought this car for street use when done.

There are many things to consider when doing a swap.

The biggest concern is budget. How much are you looking to spend? What are your goals? Street cruiser? Friday night special?

Short answer:
It will be less of a headache if you do a 4.6 or a 5.4 swap.
An LS swap will be quite a bit of money and work.

Do you think the T45 will be ok behind a 5.4

The T45 will fit and should be sufficient behind a stock 5.4 2v/4v.
