2005 Ford Mustang GT 8cyl. engine I'm interested in doing the Logan 3v swap...I found this ad and i figured throwing a low offer couldn't hurt. What do you guys think? I don't like the way it looks just sitting there but maybe that doesn't matter? let me know opinions, thanks guys

Sounds like that cobra needs a tune up and he needs to find that presure leak.

actually no cams, full bolt ons 3v's will get close to the 350 rwhp mark.

sounds like a decient deal to me. A 3v would make a decient swap just for the extra potentail for future modding. Both motors have ups and downs(our pulgs get stuck in the head
and yours blow out) personaly I wouln't do the swap as a performance mod, but if I needed a motor and a 3v was there for that price sure I would jump on that:yes

so for the cost of the parts you mentioned and as well as the motor (this is assuming that your doing all the work yourself btw) you can't make a 2v as good as a stock 3v? I understand your points and they make good sense but why go through all the trouble to gain 40 hp? Yes, I know there is also more potentail in the 3v thats why I have one. Parts to use advantage are more costly as well.

I guess if you are happy with "enough" The keep your 2v and dont bitch when your left behind.

Like mentioned above: cheap to do, lighter engine, more power, heads that flow almost on par with a termi, and the 3V responds way more to bolt ons and S/C. It all depends on what you want man. For a road race car like mine, the tubular K-member/A arms and aluminum engine reduces the front end weigh by almost 200 lbs which is huge. Makes that 40 extra HP feel like 70-80. Not to mention a tune, CAI, and some UD pullies will turn that into 60-70 hp increase with weight reduction. Power to weight ratio is one of the most imprtant things you can do for performance. Less than 2K and you can have it done and have a lot more potential.
