Will a 2000 engine fit a 94.

BAD88GT · Aug 26, 2005

My buddy has a 94 mustang with a 3.8 and it blew a headgasket, he has found a low mileage 3.8 out of a 2000 model will it fit. I know the intake must be changed but is the shortblock the same. I don't know much about the v6 mustang and neede all the help I can get on this subject so he doesn't waste his money.Thanks

they will bolt up to the tranny and is a nice swap for more power.

swap in the entire engine but a new modified fuel rail will be needed

you can get them from www.rpm-mustangs.com i believe

also this is the perfect time to swap in a 4.2 truck engine from a 97+ V6 F-150. it is a very torquey engine ande will really wake up that stang. the only thing needed is a mustang 99+ mustang upper manifold/T-body and fuel rail

try out www.3.8mustang.com there are a few guy's over there who have done that swap

As others have said, they it will fit. It will be a sleepier v6 hehe. Since you have the engine out, put some mods on that sucker

This also depends on where you live... In Cali and Texas you can NOT put an older engine into a newer car.. (Emmision standards)
