Don't know if this is the appropriate area for this. But ive been considering a 3.8 to 4.6 swap. Any details on this? Anyone seen this before? Thanks.

 

no man, no one has ever swapped a v8 into a v6.. sorry

 

^ sarcasm right? haha

 

nope, im dead serious. I have never seen a v8 on a v6 chasis.

 

Not easy. You'll need a lot of ****. Engine, trans, drivetrain, rear end, etc....Pretty much need a whole GT to swap over. If you do swap a v8 in try to get your hands on a 4v or even look into the 5.4, wouldn't waste my time for a 2v honestly.

Im slowly getting my car ready for a swap. Gunna finish my suspension, upgrade the brakes, swap the rear out then save up the motor/trans and all the other goodies that i'll need. Either gunna get a 4v or possibly get a short block and build it up on the side. Gotta see what kinda money i have to work with at the time.

Most people are gunna tell you it's a waste of money, and to just sell your 6er and to just buy a GT; but it's your car dude. Personally Im never selling my stang; it's my first, won't be my last, but i'm holding on to this one for sure. Putting money into my 6er is in no way a waste to me.

Goodluck with the swap.

 

Been done many times lol.

 

if u buy a GT its a real building block for a fast car.. from a GT its easy to get 4v or 5.4 like sean said, to go from V6 to 5.4 its a bottomless $$$$ pit.

 

There's a guy on here that went from a 3.8 to a 4.6 to a 5.4 (bored out to 5.6L.) I have yet to hear any complaints out of him..

 

thats pretty wicked, and i see. that would typically change the whole drivetrain of the car. hmm, well then i guess its 4.2 twin turbo FTW for me.

 

just buy a v8 cuz it will be cheaper to do it that way or yes just mod ur v6 up. turbo/supercharger

im gonna buy a 87 5.0 sumtime gonna have a v6 and a V8

 

then he has the money to do it lol.

 

I was at the turkey rod in daytona beach and there was about 4 v8s in v6 chassis there. They ha a few 4 valves a 5.4l and a terminator in a 94 6er chassis.

 

moron.

 

agreed. I found this guy that built his v6 good on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jBhYJe3n08 thats the video, i guess it'd be best to do that then. Becuz i dont wanna trade up for a GT. I guess it'll be fun being the outcast souped up sixxer. only thing ill miss is that v8 sound.

 

man stephen4036 is taking some flak tonight

on topic: im going from a 3.8 to a 5.4

 

yea man, go for it if. especially if you stumble upon a great deal

 

yea the slow v6 kid post moron

and zigzagfag says retard.. its pretty cool.

 

Yeah you must have been going pretty fast when you wrecked your car...

 

which time? lol

 

only wrecked the mustang once.

 

I was just saying because you've wrecked your firebird, wrecked your mustang and had the hood fly up on the mustang which some people can consider a wreck I guess...

 

firebird was tequila's fault not mine :/
mustang hood was b/c the line from the door to the latch broke so the next time i closed it didnt 100 percent engage and the safety latch couldnt hold it that long...

now the big mustang wreck is all me but w/e it happens

 

Wish i could have seen it

 

dude! thats exactly what I had to do...

 

Looks like somebody is in denial.

 

well the firebird cost 2,500 and i wedged under an F150 and all i did was trade paint with his frame.. except my hood was dented in and **** broke when the cop made me reverse out.. so no damage to his car and i didnt have collision so it cost me nothing nor did it cost geico anything

 

yeah I've been planning to Cobra R my sixer out for a long time. It's pretty much gonna be my driver for many many years
