Re: got my new car

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.

Re: got my new car

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.

Re: got my new car

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.

Re: got my new car

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

That tends to happen a lot with the old 30's-50's Fords.
