Hey Guys,\!! Im Symon!! ...so I Am 17 Yrs Old And I Drive A 2000 V6 Mustang , Kinda' High Mileage! So I Was Thinking To Save Money So I Can Swap But, I Dont Know If I Should By Another V6 And Bore It Out With Stage 2 Cams And Turbo Or Supercharge The V6 Or Buy A 48 Motor And Swap That In?! But In Order To Put A V8 You Need A New Ecu, Radiator, Motor Mounts And Etc. Etc. So Wouldnt It Be Cheaper To Turbo Or Superscharge V6 Motor?!?!

Please Help Me Out!! What Do You Guys Think?!?!

---thanks!!!

 

I would turbo charge the 3.8 then to do a motor swap, and the turbo 3.8 will make more power then a n/a swapped SBF. Granted it might cost a bit less for a v8 swap but thats just gonna be a stock sbf vs. a turbo 3.8 and the turbo 3.8 will walk all over a n/a sbf.

 

you know what to do... figure out your budget, decide which way you're going to go and stick with it. Either direction is one that lands a new motor under the bonnet so, as they say... pick one. Turbo v6 would be my choice.. but add in a beefier tranny and a 8.8 in back.

 

THANKS GUYS!! YEAH LETS SAY I HAD $4,000?!?! WOULD THAT BE ENOUGH?!?! NEW 3.8L, AUT,O WITH A FULL TURBO KIT.... CAUSE MY PONY HAD HIGH MILES RIGHT NOW....

?!?!?!?! ?!?!?!?!??!

 

First off stop using caps locks or we will kill you lol. For 4k you can get the turbo kit new or used ( i would around for a good used kit first if it was me) and get that and your fuel mods etc... going. the 3.8L is strong and i dont know how high your miles are but if your really worried about it a junkyard 3.8 can be had for less then 500bucks shipped to you.

Or you can get a used supercharger for pretty cheap and go that route and have money left over to get your tranny worked on if its slipping etc.. I mean you have a few routes to go with, but figure ruffly just 1K of that for fuel upgrades (injectors,pump,maf,) and a tune will run around $1,000 you can do it less if you go with used parts. Dont be afraid of used injectors and a maf.
