My friend knows atleast more then i do about cars and i always tell him about how I want to drop a V8 in my 99' V6 and one day he told me that i could make my engine a V8 just buy switching out the heads.....now i have know idea if this is true or not....seems kinda too easy to me, but please if anyone can help me with this question please respond.

Also....what ever I do to my engine in my stang I want to do myself but with the help of my friends uncle(master tech) for the simple fact of knowing how to build engines. So if I cant just switch heads can I atleast use the stock 3.8L block to start building my desired V8? If not, how much on avg. would a standard 4.6L V8 block be? Or any ford V8 block.

Thanks

 

ummm NO. the 3.8L is a v6 BLOCK. the 4.6L or any other v8 is a v8 block. the heads have nothing to do with the number of cylinders

 

Very true, very true indeed. But you can get a crate 4.6 from fordracing.com...

 

might as well get a 5.4L v8 from ford and build it up with a 6 speed and 9inch rear end
