3.8L V6 to a 7.5L V8
I have a '93 T-Bird LX with a 3.8L V6.
I want to upgrade to a 460 V8, and was wondering if this is possible, and if it is, maybe someone can give me some advice. Here is the engine I want to drop in my TBird: http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=9288 |

Anything is possible. Its all about the $$$$. I think I saw one of your birds with a big block in it on Pass Time. I think a good place to start is to find out the dimentions of the big block. Then compare them to the space available in your engine compartment. Different engine usually means custom sub frame and mounting points different transmission(Or at least an adaptor plate). Different transmission usually means different drive shaft. Changing your wiring harness.... see where Im going here with the $$$ comment?
Another option is building up your V6 and twin turbo it. Probably get better #s and would be cheaper in the long run. Plus dont expect your car to handle the same with a big block in it. The weight ratio will change, and your stock brakes will probably melt before your car stops. LOL |
