hey man i wanna do an engine swap but ive a 96 ford mustang with a 3.8 and i want a bit more power i wanna do the swap for a 5.0 8 cyl. engine. do i need new wiring harnesses? new angine mounts? and a new computer? or what exactly do i need for this swap??
i get alot of shit for keeping it a 6, but Its my car, I love it, and I wanna see how much power I can squeeze out of it. In process of building a forged 4.3L. Planning on eventually supercharging it making around 400rwhp
i think once its done, it will be around 300hp N/A. I self ported the heads and intakes, cam, bored and stroked to 4.3L, basic bolt-ons, Lt headers, 39lb injectors, 310lph fuel pump
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you did all that and only gained 90hp that seems like a waste of time. I could do a tune on my stock motor 65hp and not have to take anything off.and that's 65hp to the wheels.
rmp, super six and Tom Morana all make performance heads for our car. Tom Morana is the cheapest, super six is the best. They all make a lot of performance internals as well. I would go with one of the power packs from supersix because you will get heads upper and lower intake and cam that are designed to work together. up to 90 hp when dropped in, depending on what you get. they have different kits for different applications.
so would you recommend just porting the stock heads and intakes or purchasing aftermarket heads and intakes already ported? i'm going to be doing this to my 99 V6 but i'm not sure which route to take, it will also be getting a cam.
Nobody makes aftermarket heads/intakes for our car, so porting the stock ones is the only option. I have a full set from my old engine that I will port for a fee if anyone is interested
That's fine. I am in the process of p/p an upper and lower and just need some heads work on too. Would you be interested in just selling the heads as they are? If so how much?
dang i love that car and i like the fact that any who has a mustang don't hesitate to spend money on it like i do but honestly what is a picture of the new camaro doing in your shop man ? hey thats the enemy man hahah
Very nice, go forged 4.2. they can hold so much power. i plan on putting 500rwhp on mine here in the future. and i hear they can hold more than that as well. that's just what i want out of it.
Thanks man, it was actually the 1st video I made so I was a lil sloppy with the editing. I'm taking alot of pics throughout the project so I'll have another video once its all done. Hopefully around the end of April timeframe.
@sdvproductions yeah its possible. Their the same platforms. Just need wiring harness motor and Tranny and computer systems:D

Why put money in a v6 when you can get a good 4.6 liter v8.
rippedwarrior69 2 years ago
because im a loser with no common sense. I never even thought of doing that. great idea! :)

Cause a V6 can be just as fast and less gas and less insurence
