with a 94 3.8L there are basically two ways you can go, you can go with the M90 blower, or you can do the split port swap. both will give you the same gains. but with the split port you have a bit more room to work with if you wanna go with a blower or turbo

easiest one will be the split port swap. and if you want a little more power out of it go with the windstar intake as well. it's almost as easy as swapping the parts and then getting a quick tune

junkyard prob... if not.. the other thing you can do if you want a little more into it is go with a 4.2L... Morana Racing is in Toronto and does great work

as for even just a 4.2 swap it isn't all that hard either.. just find the right 4.2L F150. if you want i can get you a link to a 4.2L swap thread

The M90 swap on 3.8L Mustang is an Extremely difficult one - I would avoid it. Why not just get an aftermarket supercharger designed for your car ... procharger, vortech, paxton .... they all make one.

Well,

I have done the Windstar Upper Intake swap and it was fairly easy to do. With a bit of help from a friend to do the electrical work (you have to extend the wires on 2 sensors) it took all in all about 4 hrs. The best advice I have though is to ensure you have the Windstar mounting bolts as the Mustang ones are too long. I currently run the intake, Steeda under drive pulley, dual exhaust, full synthetic oil and copper plugs and dyno`d at 231.5 rwhp. I highly recommend the VAP Auto kit for the Windstar swap, Stephen will get the kit to your door for a fair price and it`s pretty easy to do. The only thing I had to buy to use the kit was a filter and a silicone adapter to put it on the CAI that comes with the kit. Go to VAP Auto`s website for all the info. VAP stands for Velocity Auto Parts...

Hey 97 Saleen,

Why yes there is...LoL...looking at getting Stage 3 heads and Cams from Tom Morana as well as his 1.8 roller rockers. My plan is to keep much of the V6 coupe look but to haul ***. My plan is 300 rwhp while remaining NA as this is my summer daily driver. She has a 4:10 rear end with T-Lok and tubular upper and lower contol arms. I have a Hurst short throw on the 5 spd with chrome Hurst stick and 8 ball Hurst shift **** (Kinda gives it an old school look) She has true duals (which will get an x pipe to balance the pressure) oh and as I mentioned the Steeda under drive pulley. The only other changes will be cosmetic and interior upgrades..looking at getting a set of 05+ front seats in leather, sequential tail lights, rear window louvers...I think that will be pretty much it...LoL
