Ford GT Parts & Accessories

The Ford GT is one of the most storied performance nameplates in American automotive history, produced in two distinct generations: the 2004 to 2006 heritage supercar that honored the GT40 Le Mans victories, and the 2017 to 2022 second-generation mid-engine supercar that won its class at Le Mans in 2016. The first-generation GT used a supercharged 5.4-liter Modular V8 producing 550 horsepower, mounted in an aluminum spaceframe chassis with a mid-front engine position. The second-generation GT uses a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 producing 647 horsepower in a carbon fiber monocoque chassis with active aerodynamics. Both generations attract serious collectors and performance enthusiasts who demand the highest-quality parts for maintenance, track preparation, and show-quality restoration.

Popular Upgrades

First-generation Ford GT owners commonly upgrade with Whipple or Kenne Bell supercharger swap kits that replace the Lysholm twin-screw unit for larger displacement, along with Accufab Racing throttle bodies, JLT cold air intake systems, and custom ECU calibrations from Lund Racing or Brenspeed. Heat exchanger upgrades for the supercharger intercooling system are critical in Florida's summer heat, and Setrab oil cooler systems address the thermal management demands of track use. Second-generation GT owners focus on OEM Ford Performance accessory parts, exhaust calibration modes, and carbon ceramic brake upgrade components from the factory parts program.

Performance and Handling

The first-generation GT's aluminum spaceframe, double-wishbone suspension, and AP Racing six-piston front brake calipers create a platform that responds well to alignment refinement, Ohlins spring-and-damper upgrades, and wheel spacer adjustments that refine the factory setup. The second-generation GT's active aerodynamics, push-rod suspension, and magnesium transmission casting make it one of the most advanced production cars ever sold, with an aftermarket limited primarily to factory Ford Performance components and specialist shops. On both generations, factory-specified fluids, torque specifications, and service intervals must be observed to maintain the integrity of the aluminum and composite components.

What supercharger does the 2004-2006 Ford GT use?

The first-generation Ford GT uses an Eaton Lysholm 2300 twin-screw positive-displacement supercharger producing approximately 8 psi of boost through an air-to-liquid intercooler that exchanges heat through an aluminum heat exchanger mounted in the passenger-side quarter. This unit is distinct from the Roots-type blowers used in Mustang GT500 applications, and its twin-screw design is more efficient at lower boost levels but less amenable to simple pulley swaps. Dedicated swap kits from Whipple and Kenne Bell replace the Lysholm unit with larger twin-screw blowers that support 700 horsepower and beyond.

How much does it cost to service a Ford GT?

First-generation GT service costs are comparable to exotic sports car ownership, with oil changes requiring 6 quarts of Motorcraft 5W-50 full synthetic and a specialized filter, and brake pad replacements on the AP Racing calipers running significantly more than standard applications. Many Ford GT owners work with specialist shops experienced with the supercharged Modular V8 platform, as the tight engine bay and unique component locations require familiarity with the chassis layout. Having a reputable parts source with verified fitment data prevents the costly mistakes that come from ordering generic Modular V8 parts that do not account for GT-specific clearances and specifications.

Why These Parts Fit Right

Parts in this collection are cataloged specifically for the Ford GT platform, distinguishing between first-generation supercharged Modular V8 hardware and second-generation EcoBoost V6 components to ensure you receive the correct part for your specific car. Fitment data accounts for the unique specifications of the GT's aluminum spaceframe and mid-engine layout that set it apart from all other Ford platforms. Fast shipping means your GT is ready for its next track event or show appearance without unnecessary downtime.
