Mustang V6 SOHC to DOHC Conversion?

[sal329]

Im confused? You want to buy a 4.0L V6 and swap it for what DOHC motor? The current GT has a 3V.

The only 2 things you'll need to do to blow away a V8 = Big turbo & gut it.

yep, and it will still sound like a V6. It kills me with my buick. The supercharger whine sounds great, but the 3800 sounds crappy at revs...most V6's do, at least in comparison to V8's. My buddies GT with borlas...I can still give him a run for his money but he sounds totally sweet getting embarrassed by my grandpa car.

Im a stang guy...ive got a 96 GT with a 4.6 v8.....but I honestly have no idea what your asking here.

There is no way to convert a 3.8 or the new 4.0 v6 mustangs becuase they are pushrod engines like people have said.

The 05+ 3v engines respond better to bolt ons than the 4v engines IMO.

If you want a fast v6 buy a 4.0 and turbo it.

They can be made fast but you might as well start off with the GT and put a blower on that.

The new GT's can run 12s with very little work.

Gears, intake, tune, exhaust with some sticky tires can get those cars into the 12s.

The 4.0 engine in the 2005+ Mustangs is not a pushrod engine. It is a SOHC, 2 valve engine, based on the old German pushrod V6. The SOHC version has been in production since 1997 in various Rangers and Explorers.

no ****, looks like your right. Regardless, i don't think they make a DOHC version to convert it to.
