got my new car

i purcashed a mustang its only a 3.8l v6 so the insurance is cheaper until i pay off my loan and then im going to put in a supped up 4.6l and i was wondering if there was any sites it has a 5 speed right now and i am also planning on having a manual when i get the 4.6 thanks for any help

ummm so you bought a V6 Auto?

Why not a V6 with 5 speed. They do make those. Save yourself the trouble of swapping in a manual transmission.


But whatever,... you can pick up all your manual tranny swap parts out of a junk yard.

Cheapest way to go. I say that, because if you're buying a Automatic V6 and looking to swap to a V8 with manual later for insurance reasons. Must mean you're on a low budget.

So off to the J-yard you go.

Congrats on the new car and keep us posted on the V-8 swap.

Punctuation is your friend.


it has a 5 speed right now


That clear up the confusion that's soon to ensue?

The manual V6 stangs aren't to shabby, still slower than My Buick but not to bad. Forget the 4.6, get one of those Roush racing engines from Scoggin Dicky Parts Catalog.

a kid down the street from did something really nice to a v6 stang. He spent the whole summer replacing, the exhuast, brakes, entrior, wheels, dash, bumpers, lights, tons more shit, and added a supercharger to it. It was supposed to be pretty fast, he spent alot of time on it, and did it all himself. Well maybe he shouldnt have done it all himself, cause he didnt tie of a hot wire, it touched from grease or whatever, caught the car on fire one night, car was totalled. To bad to cause i really wanted to race him. HIs was a 2001 V6, so i dont know what year you got cause i dont like fords or mustangs so i dont follow their engines at what not.

But good luck with the car.

Converting an automatic to a manual is quite a bit of work. Just sell it, and get a V8 manual.

um... he has a manual... read his posts...

don't worry about the 4.6 man, get a 302 or a 350.. those are some bad ass engines...

yeah, if you're gonna do something big like and engine swap, don't get one that every one else has. go big.

um... he has a manual... read his posts...

don't worry about the 4.6 man, get a 302 or a 350.. those are some bad ass engines...350= chevy motor.. chevy motor in ford = big :nono:

351 on the other hand :evillol:

drop a ls1 in it, they can beat godzilla you know

^^ hehehe

350= chevy motor.. chevy motor in ford = big
That tends to happen a lot with the old 30's-50's Fords.

Ahh, I misread his post. My whoops.

That tends to happen a lot with the old 30's-50's Fords.I know, It's a shame to see :biggrin:

you bought a V6 rustang? WHY on earth..... oh never mind. im sorry! dont waste your money on it. just keep it stock for now. hold the resale value on it and sell in the future so you can buy a better car.

Be a little bit more open minded to other peoples choices. Keep on posting like that you won't be around here for long.

argh.. i meant 351.. but you can put a 350 in it..

congratulations on getting a stang but those would never be fast unless it's a gt, why waste money on a stang besides the interior.

If he has the Time and Money.... He could turn that car into a pretty sweet sleeper... no one thinks a "v6" mustang would have a 351 in it... you he smokes the pants off of them... it will be funny as hell... :lol: I'm not even a stang fan... but hey if sombody wants to do somthin "out of the ordinary" more power to them

Sorry to be off topic but is anyone else getting annoyed by this Related Links at the bottom of the page? Half the time I see it, it's just blank.

it keeps AF free. Igor is trying different ways to work advertisements into the forum, so we can keep it going...this is hardly that bad, now please stay on topic.
