I might have a chance at a crate engine for a GT 500. My question is, how much of a pain is it to do a Swap into an SN 95. I just met up with a guy that has one new still in the crate.
GT 500 Swap
- Thread starter randyp97svt
- Start date
please tell me this is a joke
Why would it be a joke? Never thought too much on a 5.4 swap, just doing mods to the 4.6, I was just wondering? I tried the search function, but I am just getting an error.

i guess it depends on how comfortable you are with making modifications
the only sn95 chassis to house a 5.4 from the factory was the 2000 cobra r, and it had a special k-member. it also was n/a

Thanks for the info, Making mods are not bothersome, they just take time. The company I work for deals with nothing but custom fabrication/machining. So it would be the time more so that I would have issues with. I'll most likely stick with the 4.6, but its an option that I have in front of me. Just wanted to know if it's been done before.

I guess you answered your own question.
It's a direct bolt in, no K member required.
There was a 96-98 Saleen in the local shop here that had a Shelby motor in it. It was installed in Chicago and brought down to Dayton to get it running. The shop that got it running was Precision Autosports precisionautosports.com

Thanks na svt. I did find a thread about the 5.4 in an sn95, it doesn't look too bad. I also read in the registry where they originally used a sn95 for the 5.4 before it was brought into the Cobra R.
You're going to need a monster hood, I'm pretty sure, unless you just cut a hole in yours.
A small cowl clears the GT500 motor.
didn't stampede predict a plethora of these threads just a few days ago?
HA!, This is what I am going to begin soon, and it is NOT that difficult.
I am looking for over 700rwhp

Is the Gt500 engine shorter than the Lightning's?
