Ok so I was on my way home from work today when I saw a ford tausus it think that's how u spell it but anyways it was a dohc 24v now that would mean a v6 correct. Is it possible to make my 98 v6 a dohc with out swapping complete motors??? Any input would be helpful

i dont think you can convert our engines to 24v without some SERIOUS modification and fabrication work. would just be easier to swap in a different engine with more power, or modify your current engine with say forced induction, a cam, headers, tuning.

Agree with everything mustang227 said here. The 24v is a 3.0 liter. If you have to ask... Having said that, if you want to go fast you have two choices:
Buy a fast car
Or make your car fast

do a split port swap (which is a lot easier compared to your first thought) and you'll have the same power

(i checked the specs on that 3.0...makes the same average power as a 99-04 so yep the split port would do just fine)

Ok so split port it is

Now at 172000 miles is it ok to go ahead an do a split port swap or would it cause damage.

Split port swap won't do any damage. How hard you drive it might. I personally wouldn't do all that work to an engine with that mny miles. Spend a few hundred more for a lower mileage 3.8 split port engine. I had one with 30k for $600 I could get a while back.

There is a V6 Mustang with 55,000 miles on it at the junkyard by me. It's where I got my T5 from. That engine has to be super tight with such low mileage.
