You need to change your plugs after seafoaming your car ya know. And you dont need to do if every time. And you dont do it right before changing the oil, you leave it in your oil for a few hundred miles, then change your oil.

When I seafoamed my car I left it in the oil for 1000 kms. Changed my plugs at the same time. My engine was so clean, no white smoke poured out of the exhaust, at all.

I just us ethe Ford stuff, motorcraft oil and filter. When I pulled my heaeds at 116k, they were spotless, no sludge or anything, wiped them clean with a paper towel. The cylinder walls still had the honing cross-hatches, there was hardly any wear, looked like it had 10k on it.

1st - , DO NOT swap a V8 into that thing. Serialized Roush V6 cars are some of the rarest Roush Mustangs made over the years. I don't even know if we have an official # of them produced in 01. I know mine is one of 106 in 2000.

2nd - The wheels you have are the Stage 1 V6 wheels from 99-04, and were also used on some of the Jack Roush Classic Editions in 2003. Those are a rare thing as well, and if you ever want to sell them, please get ahold of me first. I've tried to buy three sets over the years and the deals have all fallen apart.

3rd - Just do what Ryan said.

Yeah I've searched on google and can't even find pictures of new edge V6 roushs. And I've only seen 3 on forums. Definitely don't sway a V8 in there.

If theres nothing wrong with it, why are you looking at an engine swap? Our 3.8's are very reliable and can go for awhile if taken care of.

If you don't have any problems with it, leave it, don't question it lol. It is the exception but we have one guy on here that is about it hit 500,000 miles. He only posts once and awhile to update the mileage.
