Thread: What should I change?

Ok so I bought a wreaked GTP for cheap a few months back and I finally got the money up to get this swap done. The motor has 78k miles on it and I was wanting to know what you guys would suggest I change on it. The car might have been at such a angle that oil was in the intake so with that in mind I already picked up the aluminum intake gaskets, and a supercharger gasket. Also have both belts for it because they where bad. Also got a new thermostat, always good to change out.

Was just wanting to know what else I should change out before I swap motors in my GT. Thanks a bunch. Was thinking lower gasket set and valve cover gaskets.

What he said i think Just top swap the supercharger on to your gt engine get a little bump in hp from higher compression of the n/a block in your gt

Aweful lot of work to top swap the S/C onto a GT. Not to mention the GT's tranny may not hold up against the S/C.

it all depends how much your into working on cars
if it were me I would pull both engines swap parts over and the swap trans over So in the end you have a trans that can hold up and a few more hp If you want it easy and clean just swap the gtp engine over change the basic items that wear out and call it a day

Yeah that would work. Good luck!

Well I forgot to mention that the reason I bought the GTP was due to the fact that my Trans is shot. 4th has been gone and I have a major 1-2 flare when its warming up. Going the root to spend the least amount of money I'm just swapping both engine and trans.


Also I need to get both axles, the ones from the GTP seem alright but it was crashed so just going to go ahead a get some remained, who seems to have the best? Was going to get NAPA, but was thinking I might hit up Carquest.

you can check out Morad aswell for halfshafts

It'll hold up just fine as long as you're not doing burnouts.

and as long as you don't do wot runs going into 4th. But, that kinda goes with any 4t65e from 97-02.

True. Like you said that's both the HD and non-HD versions. I was referring to what made them different as far as what they can and can't take.
