The supercharged motor is still EFI(EFI=Electronic Fuel Injection)
You need to swap the heads and up, look at 500-700 in engine parts, and another 400-800 in bolts and gaskets, and $400-500 for a tuner if you don't have some one to tune it for you.....
Make sure to do a lot of research before attempting this

not worth it!
08-21-2008
Oh, its worth it, if you want the supercharger sound and torque.......If all you want is high Hp numbers, go turbo

im sure it would be one heck of a ride if i ever got it back together but i need to drive it to work tomorrow. thanks for the info

Might as well go with a bunch of GT Bolt-Ons IMO...and beat stock GTP's...such as HV3, Stage 2 TB, 180* T-Stat, CAI, DP, U-Bend Del, PEM's/Headers, Rockers, and a PCM
Mid to low 14's right there
08-22-2008
Maybe, but rockers, PEM's, HV3, and stage 2 TB is like 2/3 the cost of a full top swap, might as well do the top swap and have a low 14's car........Or turbo if you wanna go real fast...... Like I always say, though it all depends on how much go you want and how dough you got to spend

i did mine in a day by myself. Its not hard at all. I talked to ed morad and he sent me everything i needed. I already had the basic bolt ons though which you need. Also need some tuning. I also put the HD stuff in my GT tranny. Probably spent about $650 on parts.

i only spent 1000 on the car, it immediately needed intake gaskets, came across a supercharger thought id have some fun with it, but it is still just a work car with 157thousand miles. ill just enjoy it for what it is. but i do plan on having another gp after this one goes. they are just a cool looking car that is fun to drive.

You may think differently when you hand a Mustang GT his ass on a platter in a stoplight to stoplight race!Originally Posted by e56505

It is deff. worth it to do a top swap, to do a top swap you need, L67 Heads, LIM, Blower(obviously), TB, brackets for alt., idler pullies, coils, L67 fuel rails, vac. line re-routing, I think you need wiring(Not 100% sure) for new sensors, re-tuned PCM, L67 fuel injectors, L67 harmonic balancer(crank pulley) colder plugs(104's would be perfect). And all the gaskets(head,valver,SC).
Right there, you're looking at around 600-700 dollars. The stock GT tranny is fine, if you dont beat on the car. The 4t65e is the stock GT tranny, 4t65e-HD is the GTP tranny. The GTP tranny is a heavier duty tranny, hence the HD. In my opinion, its deff. worth doing a top swap.

smoking a mustang and laughing the whole time is more then worth it. mustang guys just yell at you and say "thats a slow grand prix" then the light turns green and they wet there pants. you'll have a blast

ive done it. I have a 2001 Grand PRix GT. look on zzperformance.com and go under engine. there is a complete listing of needed parts. i payed alittle extra and had it installed the right way. this way if there are problems i will be able to have installer fix it. nothing is wrong yet. car runs great. got about 75 whp out of it. makes for a awesome sleeper. get al ot of weird looks from debadge gtp owners and also awesome kill stories with GTP's. I also got the 4t65e shift kit. car shifts much harder and firmer/faster. Lucie776@msn.com if you have any questions.

i am going to swap a gt to gtp have 2 97 the gtp is out of province and won't pass and the gt needs head gaskets. looking for info on what parts must be changed. i am leaning towards a cradle swap but want to know what else has to be changed like the wiring harness. i know the pcm is a must be any info from someone with experience would be greatly apreiciated
thanks

got the engines swapped hoping to finish it up today

12s on street tires in a FWD car is usually pretty fun. youll stomp on a lot of cars, but youll take a digger when you get lined up with something beefier (terminator, lsx, etc.).
im getting there on a rocker setup. im liking it so far. just finished my alky setup tonight. im pumped.
02-18-2009
finished everything up found out i did not need to change the dic for boost gauge and the only change i needed for performance shift was the shift knob
it was very easy to do but then again i had to 97s and they were complete
