Quick Motor Question
 

Hello,

My friend's 98 GT engine is shot and he is getting a new one that is covered by warranty. It looks like he will get a new ('99) engine for free.

I know the 99 GTs put out about 35 more HP, but I am assuming some is that from better intake/exhaust.

I am wondering how much of a gain he will see? How much would it be for the long block? How much for just the short block?

Thanks,
DoranW

the extra power comes mainly from mucho better flowing heads

ITS ALL IN THE HEADS LIKE TB SAID.

lONG BLOCK SHOULD GET YOU AROUND 30 - 40 hP GAIN

SHORT BLOCK SHOULD GET HIM -- ' NADA'

If they are only going with the block replacement like they probably will, he should try to pay for the newer heads. Or better yet buy the 01 ported heads and intake from Mr. Wheeler at DTA racing!!:D
