I'm not on a V6 bandwagon. I've owed about every mustang motor combo you can. But, I've proven OVER AND OVER... dollar for dollar you can make the split port 3.8L make more power for less money almost everytime. Just look at the 5.0L swap. You'll have a couple grand into it. OR just buy supercharger and be pushing close to 400 hp on your 3.8L. Seems like an easy call to me.

It would be too much work IMO. I swapped by 98' 3.8L for my 96' 4.6L GT for a difference of $1k and 30k less miles. You have to do too much rear end and engine/tranny work in the swap.
