new engine... ive been thinking....

SilverSixxer · August 22nd, 2008, 11:57 AM

as alot of you know ive been all our mm site looking for help... i own a 2000 vert and i love it, i dont want a new car but its getting ALOT of mileage on it... so ...

i have a 86 5.0L engine thats currently at the machine shop getting cleaned up and all that noise were planning to do the swap over the winter months. alot of people say that its going to be nearly impossible to complete this swap ( on a college kids budget) so what i was thinking.........

find an old 3.8L have that bored out and all that then put a blower on it. that would bolt right up and be easier... but i want the sound of a nice v8..

please help.

fact....a v8 sounds like a v8

fact...a v6 sounds like a v6

doing certain things to the exhaust and maybe a cam could change the tone of it tho

SilverSixxer · August 22nd, 2008, 12:21 PM

thanks.... i really wish i could make up my mind haha

96gtstang&V6 · August 22nd, 2008, 01:07 PM

a v6 will never sound like a v8. do what you want man if you really want the 5.0l then go ahead, yeah its gonna be a tough project but it can happen. to each their own.

then again a blown v6 would be awesome i would end up doing that instead of a 5.0l

SilverSixxer · August 22nd, 2008, 01:35 PM

im seriously concidering blowing the v6... i just want ALOT of peoples in put for advice... the 5.0 is already at the engine shop, i need 700 to get that all work out. but i might give that to my brother for his Falcon hes got...

so im looking at a blown sixxer

the 5.0 is gonna cost u more to get it all working in ur car where as the sixxer will be a lot easier to put in...i say blow it and be done

SilverSixxer · August 22nd, 2008, 01:40 PM

well i wouldnt be able to just blow it, i would have to get my v6 took out and cleaned up and fixed ( its got 160K miles ) so its oging to be a project...

96gtstang&V6 · August 22nd, 2008, 02:50 PM

i say go for the v6! blown v6!

3.8Coastie · August 22nd, 2008, 06:45 PM

get yourself another split-port v6 and build the hell out of it... look at torres with his turbo'd split-port is at 390rwhp.. im sure woody wont be too far behind... if he ever turns up the boost higher than 3.6

minigunner7point62 · August 23rd, 2008, 12:32 AM

I'm sure you can get one a little cheaper then this but here is a link to a used one on Ebay.

Heres another one off of Ebay for much cheaper....

once i get the compression leak right ull see it

Dansby · August 23rd, 2008, 02:30 AM

Personally, I'd go 5.0hhh! haha. Had to. Yes, a little more work, but worth it. The potential on those motors is awesome, even with basic bolt ons. Plus, the sound your want out of a stang.

itschristorres8 · August 23rd, 2008, 02:50 AM

I've heard some nasty sounding v6s before with a mean cam
my car with an open dump sounds pretty mean as well. or with the bullet muffler

your probably looking for a 4.6L GT sound which a 5.0 wont give you but it'll still sound better the a bolt on v6 every will

MIA · August 23rd, 2008, 02:59 AM

I want mach 1 sound out of my v6........
what cams should i get? :-)

itschristorres8 · August 23rd, 2008, 03:00 AM

theres no cam for mach 1 sound or cobra sound and so forth
that just doesnt exsist

MIA · August 23rd, 2008, 03:03 AM

so i shouldget a non functional shaker hood scoop for the sound?

MIA · August 23rd, 2008, 03:04 AM

to be honest i hate the sound of the v6.
only part of my car i dislike.

...I hope your kidding...

A non functional shaker hood wont do anything. You wont get the sound of a v8 out of a v6, plain and simple.

i know, im just palyin.
Felt like being a scarastic ass with sss not being here and all.

SilverSixxer · August 23rd, 2008, 10:59 AM

i think i finally made up my mind... ive always wanted a 5.0 so i think thats what im going with...
