Default engine swap

i was wondering if i totally redid my v6 motor would i be as fast as a v8? i also want alot of sound. i think going through all the enigne swaping stuff sounds like alot of work. what about putting in a turbo? how good would that do for me?

i have posted it before, but a built 3.8 or 4.2 from supersixmotorsports.com will be able to handle anything you throw at it. Look at them!

+1. Plus doing an engine swap isnt gonna really be worth it unless you go to a 4 valve like whats in a Mach 1 or a Cobra. But to do that is gonna cost you a ton of money. Just build up the 3.8 block that you have and you'll crush GTs.

even 4 valves sometimes arent worth it, fords mod 4.6 is one of their crappiest motors
