Awesome! You and others have proven the 3.8 engine is worth keeping. Great looking and more than enough power to scare those weak block push rod oem 5.0
The 3.8 v6 is pushrod engine the 5.0 is a way better platform to make power the 3.8 like any other engine could be modified to make power but it will never be nor will it ever fill the shoes of the mighty 302 v8
I really like this Ford Mustang with a 3.8 liter V6 engine that can make a decent horsepower five hundred plus horsepower is amazing keep up the great work and the car
Your turbos are too big but i am still subbed to watch the learning process. I wish you luck. Since noone ever gave me support to carry on. Just a TON of hate.
This just gives me even MORE drive to build a 3.8(or even snatch a 4.2 from the yard) this time around. Iv owned two new edge gt's and two foxes(one built 306 and the other was a stock 2.3) and iv really been looking into these engines since I got an 05 SS Impala with GM's supercharged 3.8.

Hey everyone ! I'm going to be putting together a couple more videos in the next week or two. One is going to be a FAQ response video, so if there is anything specific you want to know, go ahead and drop it in the comments and I'll answer in the video. I already have about 15 typed out that I get asked a lot.
Nice car my friend I have one of those and they are so beastly powerful enough to beat even e Demon or a Hellcat if you put the correct upgrades it will be Batshitly insane! Of just a beauty . Also Nice video there he he .
Do you have a complete list of parts, headers, exhaust, etc that you have done? Great video. Thinking of doing some of this to my old man’s car after he passed to keep it in the family but taking it out of the old man vibe!
All of the turbo kit was custom stuff really. Headers and crossover were a home made deal from a guy that used to make them called "TMA Turbo". Everything else was pieces together. 1000cc Fuel injector development injectors, twin 340 lph Deatchwerks pumps in a cobra tank. Stock lines. Turbonetics 6665 turbo. Tial 38mm wastegate. Tial blow off valve. Tread stone 3.5 intercooler. SCT BA5000 MAF. That's the main pieces of it as far as the turbo kit goes
I just got a 2000 v6 for like $1500. Im not sure if its a preferance thing but wouldnt it be ideal to eventually get a v8 and possibly throw a turbo on it later on? Or is super charging a v6 worth it
It did the same with a couple of different MAF positions. The theory was it was related to front O2 sensor turbulence due to the position of the bungs in the headers
So if I put a decent turbo kit on my pretty much stock manual V6 , it’s not gonna destroy or blow anything up pushing 300hp give or take ? Rear end will handle it ? Internals? Or I’m considering just a small amount of nitrous not what I want but maybe easier?
I got a 351 Cleveland pretty tricked out from a Torino I rolled off the interstate two winters back...I wonder how much trouble it would be to squeeze into one of those pony cars?
@MAVERICKHAWKM55 I drive my car in SC in the middle of summer. The plastic is fine. The f150 does have a metal one but it sits up higher and doesn't clear a hood.
what I want to know is what is the stock long block good for? a junk yard stock honda K24 ( which I am planning to swap into a new edge) will hold 600 without ever taking the valvecover off.
What year f150 did you get the crank from and can I use my stock pistons ? I cant find any forged ones do you have a part number for the wiseco Pistons and connecting rods please it would be much appreciated thank you crazy sicc build by the way 🔥💯💪🏼
They had a 4.2 option from 1998-2008. Forged pistons have to be custom ordered as there aren't any off the shelf options. The typical setup is 4.2 crank, 6.125" length scat h beam rods, and custom pistons.
I plan on turbo in my 3.8, I just did a Windstar manifold swap it came out sweet, I want to get the bottom end done that's why I'm asking 💪🏼thank you for replying 🙏🏽💯
So when you did the "first" build with the first turbo and you were running 11psi was with with stock internals or forged, I have a 3.9 04 mustang and wanting to do some bolt on and a turbo as well but not sure what all I'm going to need to replace before I get to the turbo
My v6 has 166000 miles and it has 0 issues except for an oil leak that I need to find. I want add twin turbos on it, would it be safe or should I just rebuild the engine with forged internals? This will be my first build so I’m kinda new to this.
It would probably be fine, but no way to say for sure. That's a decent amount of miles. Could always check the compression on the motor before you started a build to make sure it's healthy
Over the years probably 8-9k. I considered doing a coyote or 4valve 4.6 swap but it would have cost more. Coyote would make less power. 4valve would make similar (supercharged) but be more money.
I have a question looking to do this, I have the motor out, I have a 4.2L i got at the junk yard. I've read some different things. I was just going to use the 4.2's internals-Crank, pistons, Rods? I believe the rods are the same in the 3.8 and the 4.2. What about the balancer? Do i need to change that as well?
Pistons are the same and rods are different. Kind of depends on what you're doing. Stock rebuild, just drop the 4.2 in. Built motor requires custom pistons. Balancer may need changed depending on what year your car is. 01-04 3.8 used internal balance, and all 4.2 are internal balance. The 99-00 3.8 is external balance and the balance has weights on it
@@RamboSavage0014 that's incredibly vague lol. If you have a tight budget I'd just save your money. You won't be able to make a V6 quick without thousands of dollars in it
I have an 02 3.8 new edge. I want to slap a turbo on it. Do I need to do a ton of engine work or do the stock internals hold up pretty good? Do I need to do transmission work?
You can turbo it on stock transmission and motor and it will hold up alright. Keep it under 400 horsepower. Mine lived for almost 5 years at 340 wheel on the stock motor and T5 transmission. The trans was starting to make some noise towards the end though lol
@@Slow_Six thank you so much man. Your build really made me fall in love with my v6 again. I was starting to regret my buy. Thank u so much for your knowledge. You made me realize that the 3.8 is really something else 👌👊
@@Slow_Six yea that sux. There's a twin turbo kit on Ebay for $1200 but I don't want that headache. Put could probably just use the one head and sell the other. Still way cheaper then a SC.
would you happen to know exactly what rods you used part numbers wise? i went and swapped my entire tan interior to a charcoal gray 2003 mach1 interior seats and all my dad had a few laying around. he gave me his not so perfect stuff thats still near mint. now i cant bring myself to sell it so i want to go this route.
Kind of a newb to Fords but my wife has an 02 V6 Convertible she doesn't drive anymore. I've been debating suping it up. Is that the F150 intake or the Windstar, or something else? Do you replace just the upper or lower too?
@@Hopinmypony once again, depends on budget. Most of the bolt on stuff for the v6 cars is a waste of money. Finding an 8.8 rear with lower gears in it is a good first start. The 7.5 rear only drives the passenger side
The easiest option is to find a junkyard 4.2 from a f150. This was a motor built for boost - it had wiseco pistons that are custom order, scat 6.125" length rods, and a stock 4.2 ford OEM crank that was turned 0.010
So sick rn I got a built 4.0 with a procharged but I lowered the compression like you did and the procharged is maxed out so I’m on here cuz I’m gonna turbo my car soon! Haha gonna push over 20 cuz the procharged ain’t shit anyways what injectors you running???
@@Slow_Six I have a stage 2 snow performance water meth kit right so I’m gonna stick to pump gas, right now I got 60lb injectors I’m gonna see if they can hang then I’ll get bigger ones probably the DW 1000cc ones EV so if I don’t make the power I’ll go e85 but hopefully I won’t need to, yeah I wanna make atleast close to 500 wheel you like
@@Slow_Six that’s what the water meth is for, it spayed based off the amount of boost and keeps spraying it’s like running e85 for a certain boost range
I put my f150 intake instead of the wind star on my mustang and was wondering would doing the cam, springs, and plates be best for my next mod I don’t want to destroy my car but I want more power. I don’t have a dual exhaust that’s my next mod this upcoming week.
@@jeffcurrie123 journal size I don't remember. They're floating wrist pin. I think there is only really one or two options for a 6.125" 351w scat h beam.
@@Slow_Six hey man, i got the car. ive been having a missfire on cylinder four sometimes so im not worried about modding at the moment sadly. do you still have the car??
That's a 3.9/4.2 high out put V6 motor, I have the same motor that I study like daily on different things to do to it so believe that. Even on the inside of the throttle body it says 4.2l I hate when people don't know what they need to..
What? The 3.8/3.9/4.2 are all essentially the same motor. The 4.2 is a different crank/rods and was originally used in F150 trucks. They are all "Essex" code motors though.
Either or. The 3.8 is probably the worst one The high out put 3.9 an 4.2 are the 2 better motors to go with Least their not 4-Bangers like the older LX fox body mustangs have, I had one an a civic coulda even beat it lol
Also Unsure about block an internals in block for now but a 3.9 an 4.2 are identical from heads up Sept the intake manifold, other than that the heads, intake manifold plate an throttle body are same including internals only differance in 3.9 an 4.2 in the V split intake throttle body is positioned in front center the 3.9 is same but on the side instead
Check out my FAQ video. I'd say you can turbo it for around $2-3000. Add in all the suspension work I did, the built motor, the rear end, the transmission, and I have spent a lot of money.

There are a bunch of write ups online. Look up "Windstar intake swap"
@MAVERICKHAWKM55 it won't crack. People have pushed 25 psi of boost through them. A lot of newer cars have plastic manifolds from the factory
It looks like the intake on the F-150 4.2L. I am pretty sure that the truck intakes are aluminum.

Kind of a newb to Fords but my wife has an 02 V6 Convertible she doesn't drive anymore. I've been debating suping it up. Is that the F150 intake or the Windstar, or something else? Do you replace just the upper or lower too?
Windstar intake from 96-98 van. You just replace the upper
I’m wanting to start building up my 2003 v6 mustang engine, and I’m wondering were you’d recommend to start?
Step one is to determine a budget for the car.
@@Slow_Six i got that 👍🏼 what about first mods?
@@Hopinmypony once again, depends on budget. Most of the bolt on stuff for the v6 cars is a waste of money. Finding an 8.8 rear with lower gears in it is a good first start. The 7.5 rear only drives the passenger side
Can you tell me exactly what you used in your build with the 4.2l f150? Cause I would love to bore out my engine and give a 4.2 badge?
The easiest option is to find a junkyard 4.2 from a f150.
This was a motor built for boost - it had wiseco pistons that are custom order, scat 6.125" length rods, and a stock 4.2 ford OEM crank that was turned 0.010
So sick rn I got a built 4.0 with a procharged but I lowered the compression like you did and the procharged is maxed out so I’m on here cuz I’m gonna turbo my car soon! Haha gonna push over 20 cuz the procharged ain’t shit anyways what injectors you running???
20 psi will be rowdy. I was running 1000cc injectors, but I'd recommend 1300 if you want to do E85
@@Slow_Six I have a stage 2 snow performance water meth kit right so I’m gonna stick to pump gas, right now I got 60lb injectors I’m gonna see if they can hang then I’ll get bigger ones probably the DW 1000cc ones EV so if I don’t make the power I’ll go e85 but hopefully I won’t need to, yeah I wanna make atleast close to 500 wheel you like
@@noahloera7328 1000 will likely suffice for pump 93 but you will run out of injector for E85. 20 psi is also likely not safe for pump fuel
@@Slow_Six that’s what the water meth is for, it spayed based off the amount of boost and keeps spraying it’s like running e85 for a certain boost range
Where I can find the kit of the turbo because I go to eBay and only come out twin turbo
No one makes a kit anymore
Hey what website did you get your 4.2 crankshaft from I’m looking for one I’d love to talk to you about the car
eBay. Junkyard.
I put my f150 intake instead of the wind star on my mustang and was wondering would doing the cam, springs, and plates be best for my next mod I don’t want to destroy my car but I want more power. I don’t have a dual exhaust that’s my next mod this upcoming week.
A cam will net you low 200 wheel HP. Typically you're better off just saving for some sort of boost.
Okay I saw a twin turbo kit for a t3/t4 turbo is that any good or should I try for better type of boost.
@@colterbutler4006 is it one of the eBay ones ? Those are junk
Yes it is and okay that’s nice to know before I wast my money
Are you running the 8.8 ford rear end or the 7.5 from the v6?
8.8
Yo question did you change the back bumper?
It was a GT bumper
Do you have a link to the forged rods that you used?
I do not. They're scat 6.125" length. You pretty much have to buy a set of 8
@Slow_Six okay thanks im just curious about journal size and if its floating or press pin etc.
@@jeffcurrie123 journal size I don't remember. They're floating wrist pin. I think there is only really one or two options for a 6.125" 351w scat h beam.
@@jeffcurrie123 I believe they're these. www.summitracing.com/parts/sca-66125/make/ford
You will need custom pistons to run them though.
Is there anyway I can contact u in messages. Got couple questions about the windstar intake conversion
is the 4.2 better N/A and stock internals than the 3.8 as well ?
Not sure what you mean?
What fuel rail are you running? I'm struggling to find any options
Stock rails
Were i can buy a maniford for turbo i have 2000 mustang v6 and i have turbo kit i need the maniford
What ? If you have a true turbo kit then you should have the manifold. Did you buy ebay universal junk ?
im about to buy an 01 v6 mustang. any advice on making it faster?
Your best bet is save up for some sort of forced induction. Bolt on don't really do much.
@@Slow_Six hey man, i got the car. ive been having a missfire on cylinder four sometimes so im not worried about modding at the moment sadly. do you still have the car??
@@phoenixfire_101 I got rid of this car about 3 years ago. I have an 03 cobra now
Hey will the 4.2 crank bolt right up to a 3.8
I mean technically yes? The easiest way to get a 4.2 is find one in a junkyard and swap the whole motor over
This man has my dream build. I hope he has another way of being contacted I have so many questions
Dm me on IG @slow_six
Do you have to change your back axle when you do that to a V-6
It has an 8.8 rear end in it yes
What was an estimated cost with all engine parts/machine work?
Engine was about $5k, assembled long block
Hey I been working on the same thing could you give me a link for the rods having trouble finding them?
Supersixmotorsports has a lot of the internals I’m planning on buying, I’m having trouble finding the fuel injectors and a turbo kit
Nice car bro.. I got as well but I got a question for you?? Does the intake fit in with no problem?? The one from the truck to the car??
I'm using a windstar intake from a 96-98 model year minivan. It requires a bit of modification to fit unless you run a cowl hood
@@Slow_Six ok so does it fit to the block?
@@conociendoyexplorando3391 yes it bolts right up to the lower intake manifold
@@Slow_Six ok so does it gets more horsepower with it or is it the same as the stock one??
@@conociendoyexplorando3391 it flows better than the stock one. Worth a few horsepower
That's a 3.9/4.2 high out put V6 motor, I have the same motor that I study like daily on different things to do to it so believe that.
Even on the inside of the throttle body it says 4.2l
I hate when people don't know what they need to..
What? The 3.8/3.9/4.2 are all essentially the same motor. The 4.2 is a different crank/rods and was originally used in F150 trucks.
They are all "Essex" code motors though.
Either or.
The 3.8 is probably the worst one
The high out put 3.9 an 4.2 are the 2 better motors to go with
Least their not 4-Bangers like the older LX fox body mustangs have, I had one an a civic coulda even beat it lol
Also
Unsure about block an internals in block for now but a 3.9 an 4.2 are identical from heads up Sept the intake manifold, other than that the heads, intake manifold plate an throttle body are same including internals only differance in 3.9 an 4.2 in the V split intake throttle body is positioned in front center the 3.9 is same but on the side instead
where can i get the turbo kit?
You'll have to find a used one floating around somewhere, or make one/have one made. No one produces kits for the 3.8 anymore.
Could I make 500+ if I go P1sc pro charger or what would I need to go with
You might be able to but it would be tough. Would need a 4.2, cam, head work. Might have to go to a D1 over the P1 to get past 500 on a v6
If I do D1 do I use the one they have for the GTs or where can I find the kit
@@gtq7862 you'd have to buy the v6 get and upgrade to a D1 over a P1
Sorry for all the questions but how could I do that
@@gtq7862 call procharger and ask to order but upgrade to a D1SC. I'm not sure if they even still sell the 3.8 kits.
How much did all of this cost? Im interested in building my 3.8.
Check out my FAQ video. I'd say you can turbo it for around $2-3000. Add in all the suspension work I did, the built motor, the rear end, the transmission, and I have spent a lot of money.
With the 10 psi, did you have to do another mods to the engine?
No. Totally stock motor, with bigger injectors and fuel pump
Wheeeeere is there turbo kits still being made?
They aren't made any longer.
SlowSix I was hoping someone else was making them again. Oh well.
@@beyawnko290 nope. There is no market for these motors.
SlowSix yeah, it’s an interesting niche market. They are torque monsters. The 4.2 variant especially w boost.
Why does it seem like the 3.8 is better than the 4.0?
Because it is lol
