lol i just bought one but head gasket blew on the way home form buying it. sucks hard core
so now i either need to replace head gasket or swap. anyone know all that is needed to swap a 5.0 into a 3.8? |
200 firm 1995 3.8L complete running
best swap 99-04 v6 swap good power gain stay V6 |
so you have a 3.8?
the only problem with that is that the head gaskets are knwon for going out in those motors hence the recal by ford. how many miles are on the engine and where are you located? compresion? yeah so on the 99-04 v6 will they sink up to my tranny iw ould really like to not have to change my drive train! |

hmm well right now i am trying to replace the gaskets just so i can get to school i am intersted in in a 5.0 swap lol so if this doesnt work i might take you up on that lol i am in seatle though

Find a wrecked 5.0....
|
The 5.0 swap is easy, just get an 87-93 parts car and swap in the motor with the engine harness and computer. If you're good with wiring you can make it run well. I did a budget swap for a guy a few years back and wound up running a speed density computer in a 96.....

I bought a 2000 Mustang 3.8L V6 with 167,000 miles salvaged. Major front end damage except for engine. I fixed up the body and suspension and straightened the frame. It now has 185,000 miles and there have been no problems with this engine. It's surprising with all it has gone throught being salvaged. But these 3.8L from Ford are very reliable. All i have heard was good news. ANd that head gasket thing was a recal, but only in minor circumstanes. Great engine.

this is still the stock engine with no major performance upgrades.

I've got a v6 3.9 2004 mustang engine has 53.000 miles on it it runs great its charcoal gray
