Jeez Louise, that's one hella of a dealer you have there; they seem to be very through. They took your whole engine out of the car just to add the CAI to it?

Starkie Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Boy have we come a long way since the 260 V8 Mustang Yeah, but the 260 and the 289 looked way prettier, even if half the power. Starkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formervettowner Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Jeez Louise, that's one hella of a dealer you have there; they seem to be very through. They took your whole engine out of the car just to add the CAI to it? I was wondering why it took them so long to install. I have to admitt I was a little nervous when they brought in the cherry picker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Man, when you look at it from the front that belt is almost as intimidating as the chain in the 427 cammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPRSNK Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 So that's what that #$%@ing serpentine belt looks like. I've got it down by touch but never seen really seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD SNAKE Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 That's impressive! How is it removed from the car? I would think from underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69deluxe Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I have a FE390 (6.4L) sitting on a stand in my garage. It is still smaller than our modular 5.4L! The one thing I do like about the older engines is that they are painted Ford Corporate Blue. I would love to see a painted 5.4L installed. Does anybody know if the GT500 motor would fit in a Fox body car? That would be one killer combination. Light weight and a ton of power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know if the GT500 motor would fit in a Fox body car? That would be one killer combination. Light weight and a ton of power! Funny that you should ask that question. I just came home from a all Mustang show today, and sure enough, there were two Fox bodied stangs that had the 4.6 Terminator Cobra engines in them. Not the 5.4 as you suggested, but I don't think that the dementions between the two engines are that far off. I also saw a 66 Mustang coupe running a 4.6 Terminator engine in it too.

The one thing I do like about the older engines is that they are painted Ford Corporate Blue. I would love to see a painted 5.4L installed. Was this FE390 DOHC like 5.4l, or OHV? (I don't know the FE390 engine). If OHV, you have the answer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisssss Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Ya know what would really be sick..a CAV GT40 kit car with a 5.4 Whippled. What kind of a rocket would that be??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unjustified Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Does anybody know if the GT500 motor would fit in a Fox body car? That would be one killer combination. Light weight and a ton of power! I seem to remember seeing where a Muscle Mustangs editor was swapping a GT500 engine into a fox body. (Or was it 5.0 Mustangs???) Either way it was an issue from the last 3 months or so. He was just stating he was about to get started.....haven't seen a write up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a project on SVTP where somebody was putting it into a 65 Comet. I saw one in a 1967 Mustang Fastback at the Milan NMRA event. It was a beautifully done vehicle. Flashback to 1967 P.S. Thanks for the photos, the serpentine belt routing came in real handy when I had to put the belts back on after installing theWhipple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
