your 02 GT tranny can take 540rwhp or so safely, but after that it wont last much longer
The Tremec T-56 is your best bet IMO for durability. The 03 cobra crate motor is a good choice. Dont get upset, i just got back, but if i were here eariler i would of helped. The 99 and 00 Cobra motors are cheaper, but if you want more than 450hp or so u cant do anything with them because they are not as strong as the 03 cobra motor. 12k dollars for the 03 cobra motor. the T-56 is 2k dollars or so. You are better off selling the GT for a Cobra IMO

Ford Racing Parts offer a variety of crate engines at reasonable prices. Most economical with better performance would be to buy a block or use your existing one and build it to your specifications with performance parts preferably using forged internals.

Also you arent going to find many crate motors for a late model car as the 4.6 is pretty much it. You are limited to putting in a cobra, mach1, cammer or a built motor. You can do a navigator DOHC 5.4 swap, but it'd be cheaper adn easier to go with a built one more than likely.
