2000 GT motor swap

[JC316]

Doing a 4v swap is there anything I will need other than the motor? Or does everything work as it should?

Its basically a direct swap. I have a guide lurking around the internet on swapping in a Mark VIII 4V into a 96 GT.

There are a few bits like making sure you have the proper exhaust manifolds, throttle/cruise cables, MAF and IAT, thermostat housing/coolant hoses, engine accessories like the alternator, etc. You will have to modify your existing engine harness fairly extensively but that isn't too difficult, however, it is time consuming.

You will need to have your car tuned afterward as well to make it run as it should.

You won't need the MAF or the IAT if you are going cheap. I only had to modify two or three connections on the wiring harness.

4.8 really? 5.3 at least, the 6.0 is way to go.

Another cheap(ish) alternative is the 3V swap. The one I saw was very very clean and made good power for what he had in it.

link?

I haz a 3v with blower for sail. Still not sure what its worth yet. Lol

4.8 is cheap and better for boost.. same bore as the 5.3, less stroke..
