So i have a neglected 06 gt and need to weigh my options for a new engine. The current engine has a messed up timing chain and 2 of the transmission mounts are non existant (due to a shop who didnt know who to set the proper torque on their tools) im looking at either a rebuilt 4.6 3v or dropping a new coyote in. Has anyone done either of these to their 06? What else besids the actaul block am i going to need for either of these swaps? Any idea of total price for parts? Any help would be much appreciated, im no were neer a mechanich but have some mechanical knowhow. Thanks in advance for the help

 

You could always get a well built 3V motor. Possibly get a forged aluminator from Ford as well. The stock 3V is kinda weak but a well built 3V is a great motor.

 

several good 4.6 engines on fleebay

 

Read up on coyote swaps.
Not very easy from what I've read.

 

I would just build a good 3V. Then you don't have to **** with different ecus and wiring. It'll be all the same wiring and transmission just with a more badass motor in it.

 

Yeah im deffinatly leaning 4.6 because of the cost an complication of ecu. Does anyone know of good places to get stroked blocks either online or in the nyc area? Also if anybody knows of anywhere that sells turn key strokers that will fit?

 

Ford Racing sells a recycled 2005-2010 4.6L block with a new forged rotating assembly, bored/stroked to 5.0L. It's a shortblock but if you refreshed your 3V heads you could longblock it with parts from your current engine:

If you're looking for inspiration regarding a 5.0 Coyote swap into a 2005-2010 S197 body this thread is a must read:

5200 bucks for an engine = No freakin thank-you

get it

 

MMR sells forged and stroker engines with tons of options. You can buy a complete drop in one from them or send in yours. What they can do is only limited to how deep your wallet is.

 

Man digging through there I wish Ford had a big bore 5.4 block.


Other than acquiring a 5.8 block the other option is to sleeve a CI or AL 5.4 block. Darton has the MID sleeves which allow up to a 95mm bore but IIRC an iron block plus sleeves and machine work is more expensive than the 5.8 AL block outright.
