So far its took a everyday beating. Ill get some numbers when I have a chance. The "3200" stall I have is killing my dig's. Right now 1700 and she starts turning tires over. Gonna say it will make really good numbers on dyno and crap numbers at track cause the stall isnt getting above my cam and is killing my low end. We gonna work on low end tune, 3:27 gear, and a 2-step. Stall is built to hold 10#'s on 2 step so maybe it will push through the stall a little when in makes boost sitting still.

Hoping to be mid to high 500's right now. She starts spinning hard in 2nd and 3rd at any speed below 70 with 295/50 street tires. 4:10's are killing me so my top out is 110-115. Hoping to make mid 600's on 15-16#'s with race gas and 18 degrees of timing. Right now its back on 13#s and 18 degrees timing on pump gas

Van cable was plenty long. Other news is the old motor gave me another problem. Spun a main bearinv so threw in another motor. Dont ever use a 250k motor for a turbo build nothing but problens.

Ok before I even get in to this let me say something. This build was done to see how cheaply we could do the swap and still make decent power. 600whp is the goal. 90% of the parts are ebay ,or are gotten off ebay for cheap.
Now that I got that out of the way. The car was a perfectly running 2000 mustang gt.
Sold the 4.6, 4r70w amd moates tuner for 1800$. Garret Hybrid t4 turbo 250$ So I offset the price 2050$. Car already had a full tubular UPR front end with coilovers, so didnt have to spend any money on that or motor mounts.
2003 5.3L 114k 431$ This is after tear down, cleaning and paint. Sorry for the Ford blue. It goes with my cars color scheme.
Here is the 5.3 assembled and list of what we done inside the motor.
ARP pro series rod bolts
Complete LS1 gasket set
MLS headgaskets
Ebay regrind cam 236/242 580/590 @ 050 LSA 116
Lunati Dual Gold Valve Springs
Trick Flow 7.45 Pushrods
Ebay Headstuds
Melling HP oil pump
LS2 Timig chain
Moroso 7qt Oil pan
Ls1 intake (Temporary till I finish car then gonna buy eddelbrock setup)

Motor cost right at 1400$ complete. Built th350 500$, turbo kit with exhaust all the way out back.600$, ls1 harness and computer 300$ misc (belt, alternator, fluids etc complete gasket kit 450$. So roughly 3500$ for complete running drivetrain.i got another 4k in suspension, gauges , tires, converter, fuel system and labor. So all and all 8k for a complete swap roughly. I have it all kept up with on laptop i just need to sit down and figure it all up.But i did more than just throw a 5.3 with turbo and go. I wanted a nice well done.car that i can enjoy on the street or strip so it cost some extra money to make it nice and how i wanted.
