Mustang V6 SOHC to DOHC Conversion?

[victory]

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.
