im trying to pick up this 5.0 monday, but if it dont work out im getting a 95 mustang i beleave.its a v6 though. i know at one or two people on here have built v6 turbo mustangs, and was just wanting some feed back on the idea.

 

The 95 was a crossover year. They made both the 3.4L and the 3.8L. The 3.4L all out sucks. The 3.8 is a good, reliable motor. Neither of them are worth a shit for racing applications. You're going to end up dumping a LOT of money into that thing and still won't run shit for times with the 3.8L, and the 3.4L is just a waste of time altogether. Buy a v8.

 

alright thanks.

 

Oh, hell, I was groggy - I thought we were talking about F-Bodies and I was in the GM Forum here.

The Mustangs only used the 3.8Ls and they are complete wastes to build unless you have ungodly amounts of money to spend. The damn cars are just too heavy and that motor is just a v6.

 

i was wondering where 3.4 came from

 

ok so either way, just stay away?

 

Sounds like that what hes getting at. I gotta agree with him there.

 

Yeah, don't waste your money building one. If you want a DD the Ford 3.8L isn't a horrible motor either, but I wouldn't bother racing it. 5.0s are pretty cheap and can be modded for pennies compared to those v6s.

 

ok well im going to a buy here pay here. seeing that ill need another car right off the back when i sell mine. whats a good price for a v8?
and what are some things to look forin the 94 and up models?

 

The time and money you would spend (LKQ as parts provider),a 5.0 could be had.No real potential of a 95 V6.The newer ones had better intake/heads,but once again,not worth it.
