Just got the wife a '95 V6
 

Time to play a little bit. What do you V6 experts recommend for mild first time mods for the 3.8???

A V8 :LOL: ... ahhh sigh... :(

Mine is actually pretty stock. My mods were 17" rims, Cobra brakes, K&N filter and MSD 8.5mm Superconductor wires. I'll be putting in dual exhaust and a new engine (supercharged 3.8) soon.

Got her some rims already, 96 Cobra's :tup . So maybe the K&N next.

whats the mileage? Remeber the 94/95 V6's had bad headgaskets, most would have been replaced by now, but if you mileage is low enough they may not have been replaced and may still blow, just a heads up.

First mods would be CAI kit/filter. UD pullies, dual exhaust and gears out back, thats what makes the car feel the quickest, get 373's minimum, mileage is great with 373's, I got my best mileage with them since they get you in your powerband quicker thus using less gas to get up to speed, and highway rpms are not bad at all. I love my 373's

What KM range do the gaskets normally blow in? I got mine with 70k 2-3 years ago and it has almost 126k now. I'm probably right in the danger zone.

Mine blew around 150K. Worked out well for me, since it gave me the little extra push to start my motor work...

My choice for best 2 mod's (assuming you're not going to go wild) are dual exhaust and gears. Those were the only 2 (and I did them all...) that I really noticed any real difference. A chip might be nice too.

Thanx folks! As for the K's it's at 203 already, and the heads have been done. Looked up the warranty history (work at a Ford store) I knew what to look for. Looks like the K&N is numero uno, as the filter is pretty skanky. As for gears, I have the 3.27's out of the Bullitt, don't what's in there now. Car looks good with '96 Cobra rims. How the heck do you post pics on here anyway?

At the bottom of the window under Additional Options when you post a reply there's a Manage Attachments button that you can use to add some pictures.

If it has the stock rear end gears they're 2.73s for that year if it's automatic, not sure if it's different for manual. They're pretty awful for acceleration.

Was it an Oasis report that you did for the car?

Thanx for the help, here goes with the pic try.

Yup, it's an auto, and yes that was an OASIS. Had to use the complete warranty history link to find the head work. Strange thing is it has a blue block, as if it was CPL unit at some time.

Looks nice, I love black Mustangs. I would get a dual exhaust with some nice chrome tips, would make it look so much better.

I love Blue Mustangs - go figure :chacha:

You are pretty close now, just keep an eye on the temp levels and check your coolant often for oil contamination, the coolant will turn milky when mixed with oil. Keep an eye open for excessive whuite smoke out the tail pipes as well, but you will be overheating by the time this happens.

Whena nd if it happens let me know, I'll changed head gaskets for $500 plus parts, like new head bolts, gaskets and all fluids, I can have it done in 2-3 days as well.

I would probably end up putting in the Supercoupe engine if they went within the month. I made my brother promise to help me put it in by the end of the month, which is why I need the 7.5" differential as I posted in the Wanted section. There's no way I'm going to the JCO Bash in St. Thomas and getting embarassed by Cavaliers and Neons again like last year. It's on the 11th and if the engine is in, I'll be out for revenge for all the people that laughed at my 17.8s run. :mad:

With an O2 sensor guarantee????? :biggrin:

Also pull your oil filler cap off once in a while, and look at the bottom, it should always look brown to black, never gray. These motors also develop front cover leaks, which look harmless. However; the cooloant you see coming out of the front, is also going in the back into the oil. :banghead:

It's starting to leak oil like crazy. When I drove to London from Windsor I was down a quart.. and I had just topped it back up. The front and rear covers are leaking, there's a leak from one of the valve covers onto the exhaust manifold making that nice burnt oil smell into the cabin. Also, the whole bottom of the engine bay is covered in oil which I saw when I did my oil changes. I knew it was leaking from the rear main but now the front started. It's time for a major overhaul and the new engine is just the perscription it needs.

Oil leaks are not the end of the world, if the front cover leaks a/f, that's a big deal! Well it could be, catch it early, no issue. Left unchecked, goodbye front cank seal, hello a/f goodbye bearings. :banghead:
