I want to swap my 3.8 with a v-8 any one have any tips for me that would help me through this process i'm a converted chevy to ford man and have no idea how so please HEELP thanks

for the most part, it's usually easier and cheaper to just sell the 6er and buy a GT...

unless you come across a GREAT deal on a motor

sale your 95 buy a 99-04 gt,

Yea, like they said. I'm building another 3.8 cause I looked into the swap and its a pain... you'll probalby convert back to chevy somewhere in the midst of the swap. Just sell the six, buy a GT and know you made the right move

3-valves are nice... definitely do that over putting a V8 in a 95... unless you put like a 351 in it or something, haha

not to threadjack or anything, but if i was wanting to drop in a 5.4l, would i need the tranny from the 5.4, or could i use a 4.6?

This has got to be the most asked question in this section. Atleast once a week, if not more.

This has got to be the most asked question in this section. Atleast once a week, if not more.

Pros:
You have a V8
You have V6 insurance

Cons:
Shitloads of work
You're now just the same as any stock V8 out there
You're still slow

I take it you did your swap with a mark viii motor?

 

[maverick0817]
