Ot: Ford Mustang

[eQlipse]

I know this may not be the forum for it but seems I'd get a faster response here.

I'm looking for a forum similar to NICO on the Ford Mustang. I've recently acquired a '94 V6 that I'd like to turn into a project. Just need info on what performance upgrades can be done. I know there's a member with a couple 'stangs but I can't recall who it is.

Anyone?

Thanks, that helps but I was actually looking into an engine swap. Should have mentioned that before.

you want a swap, try and get your hands on a 4.6 DOHC motor for it, or turbo the 3.8:D

[eQlipse]

I'm thinking 4.6 or 5.0.

Wait for the 2005 Mustang to come out. Here are some pics:

I'm already saving up. Used to have a '68 and this is the next best thing.

To answer your question, I beleive heavyduty has a couple of mustang projects he's working on. A couple of good forums are mustangforums.com or stangnet.com.

Some pretty good info, but may not really address the V6 to V8 swap.

Now this one's funny

Good luck.

A little late to the party, but the major ones have been mentioned. A couple of others worth mentioning:

FWIW, since it's a 94-95, 1st two years of SN95 body, last two years of the 5.0 & OBDI, as opposed to the 96> OBDII (they could be on to OBDIII as far as I know by now) I would consider buying a front clip of a 94-95 Cobra, or rather a whole car that's been rolled or otherwise hit but most of the 5.0 stuff is still good. Even the rear axle is different on those, I think they're 7.5" ring gear instead of 8.8 That way you can remove the engine harness, dash harness, ecu, etc. Everything.

You'll spend a fortune buying individual pieces to make a whole car.

Or, for most of the stuff, I *might* have an 88 5.0 roller motor (87-91's had forged pistons from the factory), real GT40 iron heads, (not GT40P's) GT40 intake, 65mm tb, Crane cobra 1.7 roller rockers (not roller tipped) edelbrock water pump, fluidAMPR balancer, 24# inj, Tremec 3550 with new Centerforce clutch etc available 2nd qtr 04.

Maybe has 1000miles since installation of all that stuff at one time, never NOS'ed, 100k on the motor, but when I changed the heads & all, you could still see the cross hatch marks in the cylinder walls & could eat off of the lifter valley. A testament to Mobil1 if I ever saw one.

I pulled it in favor of a built 383 (5.8 351 stroker) with a Vortech T-Trim, conseravtively estimated at 600+ hp. A baby motor as V8's go, but in a 88 coupe, plenty of power to go where it needs to.

Or, if 1Qckser winds up using the Vortech for his Q, I might install a used Incon turbo kit parts & pieces I found the other day.
