Just got myself a '94 V6
 

So I just got a 1994 Mustang its a 3.6L V6 I bought it for $100 from a girl I know that didnt have the money to fix the car. It needed front ball joints, tie rods, an idler pulley, exhaust (was broken off right after the Y pipe), tires & brakes. I did all the labour myself with friends at work (I work at Canadian Tire) and so far i've put $750 into it. I did a temporary fix on the muffler just put a temporary cherry bomb turbo muffler and I put BFG Traction T/A tires on it. Even for just a V6 this car is pretty fast and I look forward to fixing it up and putting more money into it. The only other thing I did was take the intake silencer out. :thum:

good stuff!
welcome to the site.
looks like you got a good deal there :thumb1:

Welcome! Not a bad car for what you paid.

Welcome to the forums! :excite:

$100 wow smokin deal I am new too but welcome

100 bucks for what looks like a rust free car super deal and good luck with it :thum:

wow nice deal, welcome to cmoc.ca.

What a steal $100 wow. i need to find a deal like that.
welcome to the site :thumb1:

$100 is a sweet deal, welcome to the 17 second 1/4 mile club

oh and is it a 3.6? i'm not sure what pre-96 had, but mine has a 3.8

It's a 3.8, same as until 98.

wow. well first off welcome... nd second.. wow...

i hav a 94 v6 . ive spent over 800 bucks in parts in the past year...

Jelouse.
...

:poke: :poke:

Yeah sorry it is a 3.8L I didnt even notice that little slip up until you said something about it..

I actually need door panels, The girl I bought it from took her speakers back from me when I wasnt there and she screwed up the bottom of the door panels and broke off all the clips..

Yeah the body has NO rust what so ever the under body had alot of surface rust on it so I spent about 3 hours underneath it with a wire wheel and took off all the rust and then I undercoated it with the stuff we use on cars at my work. Its alot better now.

This car is going to be my summer car, I have a 1993 Asuna Sunfire that was my daily driver up until now so thats going to become my winter car. Over the winter I might rebuild the motor. Its for sure going to get painted this winter i'm thinking the same red colour or I might change it just a little bit to this Cranberry Kandy Apple colour my friends Jetta is. I attached a photo of the colour im talking about its the jetta in the middle.

I've never owned a rwd car before, always FWD or AWD so it should be fun.

Wow 100 bucks..think of the money you can put into it now. I also have a 94 V6. only performance mods i got is Cold Air Intake Headers and Magnaflow Exhaust. Your right they are pretty fast for v6. welcome

What kind of CAI and headers do you have??

Those mods you listed are probally going to be my first mods as well as a under drive pulley

great deal for a $100.00...i'll give ya $200.00 right now...lol

Your only like the 10th person to do that.. lol I actually got offered 1500 for it but I really dont think im gonna sell it I just put about $600 into it

BBK cold air, I dont know what the headers are , they were on it when i bought it, and a Magnaflow Exhaust.

Doesnt the V6 come with single exhaust? is your dual now if so did you go X pipe, or H pipe?

Yeah it comes with a single stock, all I did was run some new piping from the Y pipe where it was broken off and I installed a cherry bomb turbo muffler ( paid $30 for it ). I'm going to fix it properly over the winter probally, and I'm going to go with shorty headers and a X pipe probally with some flow masters.

I might just make a fender CAI because i'm mainly just looking for the sound improvement and have heard from alot of people they didnt really notice a performance improvement from the CAI

If you want a nice rummbling exhaust thats sounds beefy buy the H pipe. You might not be happy with the X pipe, X pipe is kinda loud and its more of a annoying sound cause its a constant same sound it never changes It just goes louder and quiter, but with H pipe, there is some popping and other cool sounds it changes all the time and sounds amazing. That is my thery on the differents on X and H pipe, different people will tell you there thery on HP and all the other info.

Thanks for the advice, I wouldnt want a loud annoying exhaust. I'm looking for more of a rumbling exhaust. :5: I care about power but I dont want to sound like a ricer.

A guy I know is selling a 93 5.0 motor with transmission low ks for $500 could I swap this motor into my car?? A 5.0 would be awesome to swap in, especially now before I paint. 5.0 has so much more potential!!

^What kind of car is it from? A t-bird v8 has a lot of the same parts as the '94-5 stangs, if it's a Mustang v8, you'll pretty much need a donor car to make the swap work, different front engine dress, oil pan, manifolds, bellhousing etc......
Also, I agree with Stang Illusions, an x-pipe will give you more of a high-ptiched raspy exhaust note, but an h-pipe will give you a lower, more muscular sound, the power difference between the two is negligible
I know it's really your choice what colour you paint the car, but that's kinda a girly/ricey colour IMO, no offence, just my opinion.

just ask steath about swaping a 5.0 in to a 94-5 V6....

I have a basically bone stock Thunderbird Supercoupe V6 in my 94 stang and still have the stock rear end and ran a 14.04 at the trtack, high 13's are possible on this stock motor, with my new 8.8 rear end and 373 gears I will hit mid to low 13's ona stock V6 motor. Its a Supercharged V6 but stock from FORD, I just bolted the blower and brackets onto the stang bottom end too, so for a few hundred you can get all the needed parts, then get fuel pump/injectors/and a tune and your set.

That seems to sound like a good idea, so is it your stock v6 with the supercharger from a s/c on it or is the s/c motor in your car?

right now its the SC blower on a mustang bottom end, until I get the SC bottom end rebuilt. I got dyno'd today and made 196 RWHP and 323 RWTQ the motor is stock other then 10% blower pulley and aluminum jackshaft and aluminum underdrive pullies. I do have 42# injectors but the stock 30#er's from the SC will work fine, stock mustang MAF as well. Now that my tuner has a file that works with my car he can use it on other SC powered cars with the same setup, he has tuned many Supercoupe motors in mustangs now. If you go that way let me know I can do the install for you.

Those are definately some respectable #'s .. Alot of torque .. Definately something I will consider! Mind if I ask how much you spent on this setup so far?? How many km's did your car have on it when you installed the blower on it..?

not sure on how much I have spent its been 8 years I have been working on my car, but the current setup let me try and break it down.

98 mustang motor with 120,000km's - $100CDN
42# injectors - $300CDN
xcal2 - $400US
255lph fuel pump - $120CDN? something like that
SC swap parts (I bought the entire motor for $1200CDN years ago with SC transmission which I eventually sold cause its not needed, you can get the swap parts for $300-500US on ebay now)

thats about all you need for the swap, I have other parts as well but essentially thats all you need.

Doesnt seem like this is that expensive to do, and definately worth the money as a power adder.. I am definately considering doing this now, thanks for telling me about it.

My motor would definately need some love before I do this though, I dont think it'll last too long with 326,000 on it and a blower.

anyone here selling or know of a good place to find a motor ???
