    Engine Swapping Question

    I saw the specs.
    I see the composition.
    CAI is even on the correct side!
    I even like the idea.

    If I got my hands on a 2007 Shelby GT 500 V8,
    how many Marauderers would it take
    to get it installed in MY Marauder ?

    I will fear no turbo for displacement is with me.

    I guess you'll have the keep the cabled throttle body and lose the vct.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    That would be if I kept the Marauder Engine harnesses.
    If the ECM is not tied into anything other than drivetrain
    and security, then I could also swap harnesses and ECM.
