looking for crate motor


i've got a 1996 3.8l v6 mustang and im looking to put a new motor in it. i would like to have the power of a v8 but i still want to keep the v6. and i don't really have the time to start from scratch so it'd be nice to get a crate motor. does anyone know where i can look online to order one? google just isn't helping at all...lol

most sites for v6 motors take about 8months to a year. takes me avg of 2-3months to build the motor due to waiting on parts

4 to 6 seconds?
for that'll you need a full drag style car. those long motors

as far as V6power i can build you a motor that can get you in the 9s and 10s

do you want to run a turbo or s/c?
if your looking for the most power turbo...if so i can get you a motor that'll handle 25-30psi--RACE GAS
or if you want to do about 15-18psi with a little higher compression

i can build you a motor for a turbo or s/c or a motor for just allmotor car or nitrous 125-150shot

all motor-n/a and nitrous would be the CHEAPEST route
probably nail low 11s possible 10s depeneding how light the car is

a motor built for boost will probably net 240-250rwhp avg JUST motor.

n/a i can probably get 280rwhp for pump gas and a manual tranny

for Race gas n/a i could go as high as 13.1 and even 14.1 CR...i recommend just 13.1

as it is no one has even done 13.1 i would personally want to test the motor and break it in
see what fuel you'll need
but its totally an unstreetable car
$6 a gallon fill up probably
