ok is there a more powerful engine, more powerful than a 3.8 butless than a v8 because i dont want to swap everything out,that i could buy offline or something that would drop in my cardirectly without having to swap everything and buy new upgrades for the new engine?? like a 4.2 or something like that that would just go directly in without a bunch of work that has to be done?? im not sure so any ideas??

 

You answered your question... The 4.2L.

 

haha.. that was just guessing.. but i could really do that?? buy a 4.2l and just plain and simple drop it in and be done with that?!

 

+1

You could also just tear your engine down and slap in a 4.2 crank. If you have the right help it's not a big job at all, shouldn't have your car down more than 2 days.

A ported intake will help along with some heads

 

ill look into that thanks.. but putting a 4.2l is that simple.. no extra add ons??

 

I would look into buying a junkyard 01+ 3.8L to put the4.2L crank into. That way you have the correct oil pan. The engine would be out of the car so you could do the crank swap relatively easily and completely clean the motor out while you were at it. Also you could do some light port/polishing on the intakes yourself and build the engine up while it is sitting out of the car.

 

what year 4.2L engine or crankshaft do you want to use to put into a 01 stang?

 

thanks for all the info.. i really appreciate it and i will look into it.. but im still waitin on an answer to my question, not meaning to sound like a smart ***... the 4.2 question.. can it just be dropped in without any complications or add ons?? and if there is add ons what are they??

 

alright thanks i really appreciat the info.. and i will look in to it.. but im still waitin on an answer to my question, and not meaning to sound like a dick or anything... a 4.2 could be dropped right into my car without any complications or add ons?? and if there are things that need to be changed in doing this what are they?? and would anyone recommend or have opionions on droppin a 4.2 in??

 

alright thnks for the info.. ill look at it.. but my question?? a 4.2 being dropped right in without any complication or add ons???/ and what would be add ons if there were any?? and does anyone recommend or have any opinions on droppin a 4.2 in my car??????
