2012 5.0 swapped into 2007

[jolambright]

Hello,
Only posted like 2 times in these forums so I thought I would say hi to the community and show my car. I am going to have more things done to it in the future but for right now here it is.
Had a 2012 gt swapped into my 2007 gt. I had everything put into it from the other car except I use the T-56 magnum with dynotech aluminum driveshaft and currently running a spec 2+ clutch which I will swap to the Centerforce Dyad before I do any other upgrades. I also have a BAMA 91 performance tune on it. Everything works in the vehicle as far as A/C, stereo, heater and instrument panel, cluster and key fob.
I do plan on putting a CDC shaker in with another oem hood and painting the vehicle grabber blue within a few couple years. And going to have the 11:1 aluminator with billet pump gears and V-3 Vortech done as well. Currently when I do this going to have I think ARH 1 3/4 headers with catted H pipe and MBRP axleback.

So thought I would say hello to everyone, like this forum from what I have seen.

That's awesome man how much are you into this swap for

I hope you don't mind me asking...I'm guessing 1
12k to 20k since I'm guessing you bought a parts car for a donor

Awesome!!!!!

Thanks guys.
If it weren't for the T-56 it would have cost like 16k. Because of the transmission it put me at 21.

Coming from a guy who swapped a car... I have a deep appreciation of what you've done.

Nice job!

 

[jolambright]

Appreciate all the feedback.
Here are some pics of the build. Love that the ambient lighting works in the car as well with the my Color. The guy who set all of it up did awesome work, top notch!

I noticed you put house carpet liner on your floorboards. Did you notice any sound quality difference...i've heard it is worthless in cars and doesn't block out the correct frequencies to make a difference. Whats your opinion?

That looks amazing and great no so hard was rebooking up everything and any issues with the ac connections

I think it sounds better with it. The original car had a 500 shaker system and the newer one has the same so the system is close to what it was before and I think that the sound is better now with the carpet liner.

Very impressive. Does the $21K include everything, the donor car and all labor?
If so that's really not a bad price for the complete swap.

That is correct, 21k for everything. Got a really great price for stellar custom work.
