    Rearend upgrade?

    why swap to the 8.8?? even though the 8.8 fox rear is cheap you will have spent just as much or most likely more than just beefing up the 7.5 you cannot just bolt your discs on and calipers. you will have to cut the ends of the axletubes off and mount your V6 ends. too much bother the only...

    Turbo??

    please don't post much about engines cause you really don't know what you are talking about. the 3.8 does not need a forged bottom end at 11 psi. boost isn't the killer detonation is. i can take a stock 3.8 with 15psi and it will run forever with a good tune, and i can take a 3.8 with forged...

    want more power in my 82 stang

    www.moranav6racing.com makes 4bbl intakes and is the only place for cams for the 86 flat tappet cam you could swap in a newer injected system from a T-bird but that will really only get you about 30hp more at best a good 4bbl setup and a morana cam and you should be able to get 175rwhp+...

    eaton blower on a 93 t-bird v6

    yes everything will swap over to the NA 3.8. get the supercoupe ECU also the combo will actually make more power than a supercoupe because of the higher compression of the NA engine. probably about 15hp more

    How much power can a 7.5 take?

    auto with no stall she should be ok with the ford T-lok but i would just get a detroit anyways. why put the t-lok in and have it fail and spend more money fixin it only $200 more for the detroit can save $1000 in the long run, but still the T-lok should be ok as long as more power in the...

    How much power can a 7.5 take?

    launched hard a detroit will hold 200rwhp with ease on a 5spd on an auto it will never fail at those powerlevels an auto with 200rwhp should be alright with the ford T-lok as long as you don't do any neutral drops

    How much power can a 7.5 take?

    as long as you use a Detroit truetrac LSD in it it will be fine for the 289. Girdles are available for the 7.5 also from www.taperformance.com as well as other drivetrain places that carry TA parts with a girdle and detroit the 7.5 will handle 400+rwhp/400+torque do not use the ford T-lok...

    V6 "Cobra" Too damn funny

    tell that to turbo buick guy's. we don't try to make our cars perform like V8's we try to make our cars perform period the ford 3.8 was a modified copy of Buicks stage1 3.8/231 which became the basis for the Grand National. ford eliminated Buicks design problems and wound up with a very...

    V-6 Supercharger Idea

    torque curve isn't that bad at all and is typical of a Cent blower setup unlike a pool table flat roots torque curve. and don't forget that dyno was without any tuning efforts my engine lasted 40,000 miles without a tune at 11psi. the 3.8's are very stout engines. properly tuned 11+ psi on...

    JBA exhaust

    don't get a prochamber. they actually slow down exhaust velocity and cause a slight restriction compared to an X or H. the exhaust gasses enter the chamber and bounce around before they get squeezed back down to mid pipe diameter. this causes a high pressure area and alittle more back pressure...

    How much power does a S/C give?

    11psi procharger on an internally stock Splitport will put down no less than 265 rwhp and more like 280rwhp is the norm. 11psi kit requires 39lb cobra injectors or aftetrmarket 42's,SVT focus fuel pump,SCT big air MAF calibrated for the injectors and an SCT chip burned for the setup and fine...

    JBA exhaust

    yeah headers are not worth it on a 3.8 either for an NA setup but with a procharger or nitrous they might be worth the investment. the 4.0 isn't a modular motor. it shares nothing with any other ford engine except heritage from the Cologne V6's Modular V8's share alot of parts between...

    V-6 Supercharger Idea

    i got 100rwhp gain just from the addition of my 11 psi procharger. dyno'd 122rwhp with duals,3.73's and 1.8's dyno'd 227rwhp/267ftlbs with just the 11 psi kit on stock 14lb injectors. apparently you don't have alot of experience with the essex 3.8 here is the dyno sheet after procharging...

    Caliper delimia

    you are trying to loosen the caliper slider pin. that's why is backs out slightly and just spins freely they are 2 piece calipers. the outside part rides on the 2 sliders and the inside part is bolted to the spindle. which are harder to get to but not that hard. i believe they are 5/8" or 11/16"...
