oh ya and im really considering doing this cause if not i would just do a turbo build on my 4.6 but im starting like the idea of a 5.3 my friends suggestd it to me its sounds alot better than a turbo 4.6

turbo 5.3 is beter than turbo 4.6 there is alot of info in this section. read the stickies a few times/ then search for mustangs and read those.

engine/trans
kmember and mounts (or moddify your 4.6 mounts)
trans mount

I am currently finishing up my '00 GT/6.0 swap

what I did/used

6.0 LQ4 carbed with Edelbrock Victor Jr intake
turbo 400 trans
AJE kmember with LSx mounts/AJE trans mount
Dynatech LSx swap headers

these parts fit flawlessly in the car.

For the fuel system I am running a fuel cell/sumped with -10 feed/-8 return

Instead of dealing with the wiring harness and figuring everything out I completely removed it and installed an EZwiring harness.

I have that nearly completed with the only part to actually work on is the power windows/locks.

I was able to wire the rest of the factory switches into the GM style harness and feel it is a fairly clean install

I should be able to get the car cranked tomorrow as I plan on getting the starter in and battery hooked up.

I still need to get my fuel pump ordered along with the driveshaft made but am nearing completion on it.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I'll try my best to answer them

www.ezwiring.com is their website
I purchased it off of ebay for 150 shipped

It is basically a painless 21 circuit harness for ALOT less $$

sweet thnx for the pics and info u gave me some great tips and ideas i didnt think anything about a carbd 5.3 would it be that much harder to keep it fuel injected though and how long have u been working on it. oh and can u put a chevy t5 bell housing on a ford t5 if u can that would save alot of time and money

And i thought doing a 6.0 on a 99-04 body GT was going to be something i would not see...
