    SuperCoupe 3.8 Vs. Mustang 3.8

    Is this because the intake and exhaust ports are larger?

    SuperCoupe 3.8 Vs. Mustang 3.8

    I know these are based off the same 3.8L OHV engine design, but what are the differences? Does the SC use different pistons? Rods? Crank? What about the heads? I was wondering about a 99+ 3.8L V6 with Supercoupe engine and a turbo instead of a SC. I think it'd be pretty fun. Anyone tried this?

    Fast and Furious wannabes

    ok I have to share this. I go to the store the other night in the Wifes 05 Durango with the Hemi. This stupid thing weighs like 6,000 freaking pounds. With 380 lbs of torque, it will get out of it's own way, but I still wouldn't want to tow with it. There is a light by me that is three...

    Best 2.3L FORD head/ Injectors question Too

    has anyone taken the approach of a larger throttle body/ MAF, bumping up the fuel pressure and like 7-8 lbs of boost? At least on here...?

    Best 2.3L FORD head/ Injectors question Too

    Yeah, I've looked into the turbo swap at one point, but if I am swapping engines, I would swap in an 8, tubular k-member and aluminum heads to even it out as much as possible, etc. Then it runs accross my mind to just buy a V8 and spend the wrencing time on making it faster.... :bang:

    Help! Talk me into keeping the Mustang

    hopefully they'll announce plans to make the interceptor and you can hold out til they offer a 4.6L (or more) manual trans version of that.

    Best 2.3L FORD head/ Injectors question Too

    I know there are a bunch of different heads, but is there any guide to which is good for what? I'd like to buy a used/rebuilt head and do some major porting/ polishing and run bigger valves. Then I'd like to either fabricate an intake or run one of those turned/ported ones and a larger throttle...

    2008 Shelby GT pics and specs released today

    I just wish all the gouging would stop. THe local dealer by me has a Regular Shelby with 20k in "market adjustment" taking it over the price of a GT500. And the GT500 is 20k additional as well, making it a 60k car. Obviously, if they sold them at sticker, they would have sold out in the...

    Interceptor

    Keep it clean please, I plan on forwarding this thread to Ford, unless I am informed that they read this forum. I'd like to know your opinion on the Interceptor, preferably in 3 or 4 specific areas; I'll give my opinions as well, 1. the idea. I think the idea of using the Mustang platform...

    A New Way To Make A V6 To V8 Engine Swap

    Some people are just set in their ways. Used parts have worked fine for me. And if not, it still would be cheaper to refreshen a 4.6L bought for under 400 dollars, than to buy a new one. It is all in what you are prepared to do yourself as well. if it is too much to refreshen a used engine...

    A New Way To Make A V6 To V8 Engine Swap

    I had accumulated all the parts necessary to swap in a 1993 LSC 32valve 4.6L a T45 and a 8.8 disc rear into my 1993 Fox, including the wiring harness computer etc. I spent less than 4k. It's called shopping around, you don't need brand new parts. BTW, this was including new parts such as new...

    Mid West If You are in IL IN MI OH WI Register here

    I'm in Niles Illinois and have a 93 LX with an auto and a 2.3L, for now. I will probably buy a 5.0 5 speed or a 96+GT 5 spd, we'll see what I can come up with. I've been thinking a lot about getting a 99+ GT, lowering it and putting a turbo on it, a set of brakes and some suspension tweaking...

    General Ford Thread?

    I wanted to post about the ford interceptor concept. Since it is a concept based on off the mustang platform (meaning Mustang aftermarket parts would fit), I think it is totally relevant. However I just don't see anywhere it would fit. Granted it is a Mustang forum, but the mustang is made by...

    Rangers Duratec 2.3L

    thanks for the feedback. I've heard of and even looked into the Volvo head swap. I'd only be interested in trying that if I had access to the same shops who have successfully done the machine work needed. I was just wondering if it'd even be worth doing the Duratec swap, it might be to...

    Rangers Duratec 2.3L

    the 2.3 in the ranger is a 4 valve all aluminum engine with 143 hp stock, 151 hp in the focus. I wonder if the bellhousing on the RWD blocks match up to the 2.3L T-5 bellhousing, and what the weight difference is. I think it'd be an interesting swap, drop a few pounds, add in a tubular...
