New Ride 99 GT with 5.4 swap

[blown96cobra]

Just picked this up last night its a 99 Gt 5spd with a 5.4 swap, its got new black paint, mach 1 chin spoiler, 5in ho hood, spec clutch, smoked tail lights, lowered on springs of some kind, only bolt ons i can see so far are the c&l cold air intake, xpipe, flowmaster american thunder catback, and a steeda tri ax shifter. This car came from the Cincinatti area so if anyone knows anything about it let me know.

Good lookin ride! Although I am kinda partial. :)

[blown96cobra]

Thanks Chris Im kinda on the fence about the Hood but its a necessary evil to clear the motor.

[mustang_gt88]

Damn nice ride, did not take long to get one

[blown96cobra]

Yep I traded my 5 series BMW for it last night. Im really happy with the deal I made

[chris91]

Id trade it off man. Find you a Cobra R style like I had on my green car. Gave tons of room underneath and didnt look all huge from the outside.

[blown96cobra]

Id like to trade it for a Terminator hood if it would clear the motor.

[chris91]

Guy in Columbus has one for $500. Think he is on here too under gearhead.

[blown96cobra]

you know if its black??

[SN95N/A]

[700hp04mystic]

[blown96cobra]

The stock heads and cams are barely adequate for a 4.6L so the added displacement only makes it worse.

[blown96cobra]

The stock heads and cams are barely adequate for a 4.6L so the added displacement only makes it worse.

so a set of aftermarket heads and cams would really wake it up

[cstreu1026]

Yes. I think the best thing would be a set of TFS heads since they give you more PTV clearence and decent sized cams. Of course the intake would probably be an issue then. Any idea what intake is on there? it looks like it ight be a PI intake with adapter plates.

[700hp04mystic]

Don't fool with it ratchet you will f it up and Just part it out and I don't want to have to pull it apart to. Lol

[Stangman]

Blown96cobra..... where did you get this car?? My friend Brittany's boyfriend had a car identical to this... 5.4 swap and all

[Bluecrew07]

Id like to trade it for a Terminator hood if it would clear the motor.
i have a black 2000 cobra R hood. if that works for ya. its 3 1/2 in hood. its black.

[chris91]

Thats the same hood I had on my old 99 and I loved it.

[Bluecrew07]

Thats the same hood I had on my old 99 and I loved it.
im sick of mine. i change hoods every couple years lol

[blown96cobra]

yea its a pi with reichart racing adapter plates

[blown96cobra]

Don't fool with it ratchet you will f it up and Just part it out and I don't want to have to pull it apart to. Lol

I wouldnt even attempt a h/c swap on a mod motor

[blown96cobra]

Blown96cobra..... where did you get this car?? My friend Brittany's boyfriend had a car identical to this... 5.4 swap and all

it came from someone in cincinatti

[chris91]

im sick of mine. i change hoods every couple years lol

You want a stock hood? lol

[Bluecrew07]

You want a stock hood? lol
na. but if ya come across a 4inch that would be nice

[cstreu1026]

I wouldnt even attempt a h/c swap on a mod motor

Its easiest with the engine out.

[mad max]

Nice looking car man, i have seen worse hoods . I dont think it looks to bad. I think you made a killer deal.

[mustangrfast88]

a good set of heads and cams would really wake it up and i like the hood

[blown96cobra]

I may look into a h/c/I swap over next winter and see if I can get it it turn about 7k lol

[heyitsmepugsley]

nice car man.

[akagreg3]

i like the car man :) engine not so much just my opinion but you would been better to go with a Lincoln 4.6 motor 485hp compared to 435hp of a 5.4, but to his is his own

[Stangman]

485??? I wish....

[chris91]

Yeah no shit.. Where is this mythical beast located? lol

Check out that intake. It'll really wake the engine up, and it'll clear stock hoods.

[orangeconv]

You cant use a continental motor either. Just a mark viii

[akagreg3]

yea either way they got more power then the 5.4 found this too http://www.motortrend.com/cars/1998/lincoln/mark_viii/lsc_coupe/3236/specifications/
his car still a b/a ride :)

[jeep45238]

It's not about the numbers, it's about torque under the curve.

[blown96cobra]

Honestly. That car was slower than a 4.6 gt. I was very disappointed. It was nice to look at but that's about it.
