Just get some 38cc Trick Flows.

 

Sigh... That has nothing to do with the topic! If I just wanted it faster I'd spray it and put it in the 11's and call it done. Head turn and "Woah, what's that?" factor at the car show is on the list too.

 

The 3V motor is a best with a blower. It is much better in every way to a 2v motor. The only reason why they are not that much faster than our cars is because of weight. I have ridden in a KB 3V and it was a monster. Just think even with bolt ons you will be making so much more power than we ever could.

Not exactly. A TFS 2V has every bit as much or more potential N/A or boosted as evidenced in Pure Street and Real Street.

Swapping to a 3V for wow factor doesn't make much since to me simply because it is not the prettiest Modular.

 

3V are drive by wire, where the 2v had a throttle cable, but there has to be a way to rig up a cable id assume

 

Man I'd love to hear from someone who has done it. I've heard rumors of a couple local ones but nothing concrete. I wonder if anyone makes conversion plates like the 5.4 2v to use the 4.6 2v intake on a 3v? If that was possible it stands to reason there would be very little in the way of making it work other than locking the cams down.

Once I get home I'll PM you some more links... if i remember

 

Anything is possible with enough money. I'm sure a Viper motor in a Civic is possible. The question is, how much are you willing to spend for "Whoa, what was that?" at a car show?

 

prettiest mod motor is either a B-headed 4V or an Aussie 5.4 4V
i understand its "different", but there are other ways to do that. Come up with a unique combo and not only will it be easier than a 3V swap, itll be faster too.


and i agree with Ben... 3V being better in every way to a 2V is so far from the truth.

The one with this on top?

Mine will be prettier than a stock boss260 though. I've stripped the wrinkle finish off the intake because it was scratched up, but I'm going to redo the plenum, lower intake, valve covers, and timing cover in wrinkle black, use the powered by ford coil covers, a polished t/b and maybe some polished pulleys, and red fuel rails. It's gonna be a sexy engine, just gotta figure out how I'm going to rout my intake to make it look right on the drivers side. I'm going to have to move the battery to the trunk or the passenger side and cut a hole in the drivers side inner fender to run the filter inside the fender. I may run the maf inside there too, just looks cleaner that way.

Here's more or less how it's currently sitting though.

sorry for the thread hijack, just love talking about my swap when I can't work on it.

 

You could shave the ribs off your 2V cam covers and have them painted. Then run an Eddy intake. That will pop at a car show.

 

hell yeah

Hey everyone im TJ ive not posted alot on here but i live in Elizabethtown KY and im in the process of doing an 05 GT 3v swap into my 2000 GT. Plans are to get different cams and procharger in a few months but for now i just want it on the road again.

So far i have the logan motorsports kit, livernois cam lockers, waiting on 03/04 cobra tb,got the trottle cable and making sure i have no lose ends before i get it all together.

What else is there i need to change i cant remember on the harness or anything like fuel rails i need to cut my stock injector connectors off and put on the 05 style right?

MMR sells a whole kit to make the swap from 2v to 3v easy as hell! On their turbo furums u can find where they swqaped the 2v from a saleen prototype to the new 3v saleen motor using the 2v computer a 3v motor the mmr lock out and oil pass blocking plates and a throttle cable system that they sell. I would deff contact MMR if u are serious about the swap at all. they have done it a few times and it worked out great for them.

 

thats the one... nice engine man!

 

Thanks man, don't know if you've been following my thread or not. I've got forged internals with flat tops going in, MHS port job on the navi heads which flow the best of the 4vs after porting, slightly modded boss 260 intake, custom aggressive cams made for 6500-7000 rpms, completely new return style fuel system, and probably 125-200 shot of giggle gas all in the works. Only thing currently on hand is what's seen in the pic, a tubular k, and my lightweight I-beams, mahle pistons, and a couple misc things I've picked up. Car will be more or less a brand new car when it's done.

I'm mostly focusing on fuel system right now. Trying to get my gas tank back in the car to clear some space in the garage, and get my trunk all cleaned up with new carpet.

 

Mr Pink, I know this thread wandered a little bit off topic but if you're still looking for 3v swap info. then go check out this thread, there is a ton of good info. here:

3v 99 Gt

PM me if you want. I'm doing the same swap, got most of the parts but won't start for awhile yet.
