3.8l engine block

98Stang · January 31st, 2007, 08:26 PM

I always read here that the 3.8L v6 engines can take a beating and are built well....what makes them well built to take a beating? is the GT engine built just as good if not better? in fact what are things to look for in a car engine to know its built well, and is strong to take that beating you put on it?

its true, the 3.8 is a strong engine block. as for the gt blocks, they are strong too. i never had any major problems with mine. some things to look into getting for strengthening the block would be some forged internals

the 3.8 is a realy big engine (for a v6)

the reason why it might SEEM as if the GT cant hold as much power adding as a v6 is because the GT already has more power
both motors are good up to about 400hp
yes for a v6 not only is 400hp alot for it but the engine is pretty strong
