Ford cant build a 3.8 I worked for ford and i cant tell you how many of those engines I have seen with blown head gaskets. Get a GT or do a motor swap

Thought the 3.8l gasket problems were on the earlier pre 99 models. I think the newer SN95s have a different head gasket design. I know the earler 3.8s leaked oil like nobodies business too.

Still have seen them blow, they are better but boost and 3.8

meh... we shall see... almost done compiling my kit...

Hurry up!

hoping to be! just need sensors and throttle/cc cables... mechanically she's there!

Hahaha Jarrod!

*COUGH* V8 SWAP*cough* CAMS*COugh*



on a side cough: lehcar i know exactly what your car needs. PI head and intake swap!

What AMORINE Said....PI heads and intake would wake her car up!

DO it...!!!

I already have the intake. I would like to get the PI heads also but I am unemployed right meow. I'm looking though..
When I had my red GT, my stock intake split one night..spewed coolant EVERYWHERE. I had like 6 full bottles of water in my backseat so I filled it up and drove it home, 2.5 miles. The longest 2.5 miles of my life. That car was a tank. Pushing 200k and running perfect. Anyway...the ALL plastic design was a horrible idea.

Yeah tell me about, being in college and working an almost minimum wage work study job for 10 hrs a week doesn't really leave a whole lot of discretionary income.
