v6 to v8

youll also need, the ecu, pcm and wiring harnesses for the 5.0

Brakes
Suspension
Rear end

the 5.0 isnt that powerful that it requires that stuff unless hes seriously gonna throw some mods at it

5.0 and 3.8 share K members

i dont think this is going to be a yes, but does the 5.0 use the same k-member as the 99+ 3.8s too?

SSStang said:

Speak for your self.....

99+ v6
and
older 5.0

= like 5hp difference?

Click to expand...

99+ v6= 190hp/225tq

??-95 5.0= 225hp/280tq

i thinkl thats accurate numbers, may be off by 5-10

Well he said v6's...

He didn't say single ports!(or mustangs for that)

Click to expand...

well v6 mustangs ARE pretty slow stock. but if you look at say a g35/g37 or 350z they are pretty quick

your answer is yes

ya i read it all lol. so it would probly be alot more affordable to put a 5.0 in our cars than say a mod 4.6 cuz than you gotta swap trans and k-members too??

for a 4.6 all u need to do is k member and bell hosing not the whole trans.

youll also need the hydroboost system for the brakes and other odds and ends

i would like to drop in a forged 5.0 w/ a built aod and single turbo it at about 16psi. i think in that case its alot cheaper than dropping in a 4.6 and making the same power(roughly 400rwhp)

currently my v6 w/ its mods is probly good for about 215hp/240tq at the crank. a 5.0 stock is 225hp/280tq + the low cost of modding so i think its worth it
