well v6 mustangs ARE pretty slow stock. but if you look at say a g35/g37 or 350z they are pretty quick
v6 to v8
ok ive got a 94 v6 mustang and i have a 5.0 motor and tranny, what else would i need for the swap???? thanks

why would it not be a yes?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?
ill try to put some logic to it as to why...
in 94 ford switched to the SN95 mustangs using the fox4 platform... and as in mustang tradition they offered different engine choices... the 3.8 V6 and the 5.0 V8... at the time ford was lazy and wanted as many parts to work between the two... so they designed the 3.8 essex to fit into the 5.0 body and vice versa put the 5.0 into the 3.8 body with out much hassle other then a wiring harness change and rear end change... in 96 ford switched to the modular motor which was a totally different design for them... and for some reason they saw it fit to redesign the motor mounts and k member to accommodated for the different oil pans and motor mount holes in the new 4.6 block ... BUT the 3.8 didn't change from 95 to 96 ... and up until 2005 the core block has only undergone small changes to improve its over all integrity and strength
if you read all of that props...
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??if you read all of that props...
your answer is yes
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 endsfor a 4.6 all u need to do is k member and bell hosing not the whole trans.
well technically it would be IFF you put a worked motor in...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??
a 4.6 makes more power and for just switching the K member and transmission ... it looks a little more beneficial on paper
espeshaly if u put in a nice tubuler k memberwell technically it would be IFF you put a worked motor in...
a 4.6 makes more power and for just switching the K member and transmission ... it looks a little more beneficial on paper
yup and a well built t3650 then you have a really nice set up and a potentially great car in the making
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)

not worth the swap its only like 15-20 hp if that and to much money put into it, u could just sell it and buy a v8?
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
