4.6L P.I MOTOR SWAP! Need Help =]

[mr.naldo]

I know this is the wrong forum..but you guys are always on here lol and i need help.



I'am in progress of swapping the blown engine on my 97 gt.i blew the block and now swaping it for a P.I motor.The problem is that im still on the mission on finding a P.I motor from a 00-04 mustang gt but the only ones i find are 4.6L motors out of crown vics.Can i do a direct swap on crown vic motors into my 97?
Are crown vic motors also P.I?
I Can also just go ahead and buy a mustang 4.6 engine out of a 96-98 and just do the p.i head swap...???

what do you guys sugest i should do???

please help...

Seriously... Of all of the forums you could search... You come to SVTPerformance, where LSX people hang out, and ask this. oh yeah... in the pics and videos forum. WOW! your not gonna get a whole lot of help here. If your not going to build a motor for F.I. Just get a NPI engine and do the PI swap. (higher compression) and then put some nice NPI cams in it. should be a decent street car. Later

Anyways....yeah that setup doest sound to bad.
I'm not going with forced induction tho..ill wait to do that on the 03/04 cobra swap =] but for now i can only afford a 2v =[

Roughly your looking at a 45+ hp gain right outta the box. Yes, you should be able to tell a big difference.

Id say get some xe268h cams and long tubes. Should be around 280-290rwhp with a good tune.

I vote go 4v motor. To keep it cheaper you can look for 96-98 cobra parts. PI swap is not a bad idea though. I knew a person with a 96 GT with PI heads and intake that ran 13.3's at around 104-105 on Nitto dr's.

You could get a Mark VIII engine. Ive seen alot of them go for around $400

the crown vic motors use different cams, intake, and have few different sensor bosses built into the block and heads. There are replacement PI engines out there you just have to look

 

[cinderbricks]

ive done about 10 of them. you can just swap the heads and lower intake. but the valve train assembly is differnt as well. just a newer style. not necesarily better. if your gonna get PI swap u miswell buy a good set of heads instead of waisting ur money. patriot heads are cheap and work well. and huge power gains...dont waste ur money on PI...NOT ENOUGH BANG FOR THE BUCK

I blew the motorin my 97 shortly after i bought it, car only had 69k on it but was obviously beat on or not well maintained motor wise. Anyway I got a real good deal on a NPI motor with 43k on it out of a wrecked 97 vert, paid $500. Picked up PI cams and intake from a friend for cheap, did the swap and its a different car and was dirt cheap.

Just wait until you get PI heads. you'll gain about a point in compression. it'll feel different AGAIN

I wonder what kind of gains the new TF heads will offer in your situation? Impressive, i'll bet.
