They are fun ass cars that never got the credit they deserved. I'm going to install the 2007 freestar camshaft as well which will be another major boost for me. They are both Essex engines and parts interchangeable. I still come to this video from time to time to compare my speed to yours lol.
Nice! I drive an Audi S5 now but miss my 99 V6 Mustang. Had it through high school and college and it never let me down. Good car to learn how to fix and modify cars.
Wow dude, nice to see a more recent video of people appreciating these V6’s. I have 2 and although I see a new edge coyote swap in my future, my V6s have been incredibly reliable.
@@Rx_Lee I heard the tick with the v6 is exhaust manifold due to A/C condensation dripping down from the compressor. But my tick goes away after about 3000rpm
You should look into doing the IAC mod so your RPM's drop faster and don't have the deal with the idle hang. It takes about 5-10 mins to finish and its very simple, all you need is a sheet of gasket material and a drill bit to make the IAC ports smaller. If you don't like how it responds after the IAC mod then its literally 2 bolts and switch back to stock gasket.
i own a 3.8l mustang, I've done all the fuel system upgrades, high flow injectors, race fuel pump, and i went from running 6.30's to 4.80's, i love how easy it is to wake up the car with little mods, definitely going for a Windstar intake next and an off road h pipe exhaust, then comes the procharger, hopefully by then ill be make 650 hp, which for a 3.8 is amazing.

Very nice. I wish my V6 was a 5 speed. But that's ok cuz my mach1 is lol. What surprised me thou was the quality of the v6. They are very good cars. Mine has 200,000 on the dash and besides the heater core everything works perfectly.
My v6 has 210k on it. Bought it a month ago and have had to rebuild the front end when I got it, just bought a new torque converter with a 500rpm increase in stall speed over stock (cause the stock one went out) I got new high flow cats from magnaflow (the stock ones blew out, literally blew apart at the welds near the headers) and a dual catback exhaust system from Magnaflow also. I got a new screamin demon coil pack to replace the stock one with 210k miles on it new low resistance performance wires and double platinum plugs that have been regapped to .065 instead of .045 because of the new coil pack, but other than that the car is a beast and runs great.

@@talknheadz well, I don’t exactly remember but if you can find a place to put the hose in I’d say cap it off.. I also bypassed the egr and removed it... I had to add length to wires to make connectors connectable. I sold mine though, but yea you got this 🤙🏽
Did you experience a decrease in top speed with the swap compared to the stock What parts did you have to buy outside of the manifold for this mod to work
Pretty sure it fits right on. The Essex came in 3.8 and 4.2 for cars and trucks respectively. So people stroke 3.8s to 4.3 and use the 4.2 parts to do it
I noticed you deleted the egr line that is goes connected to the manifold. What did you put or how did you do the delete? I’m curious as I broke one of the lines that gets connected with an air hose to the egr pressure feedback sensor. So air pressure is making my v6 misfire like crazy. I tried JB weld & it doesn’t hold it in.
I installed headers and removed all of that, removed the egr system send sensors entirely. The bought a block off plate to where the egr connected to the lower intake manifold. I got codes for removing the sensors but as long as it runs perfectly fine idc
Do you have gears? If not, get some 4.10s lol it’ll rip hard off a dig. And I’d say get a BBK throttle body. It’ll make a good difference with the ported manifolds. Stock manifolds it won’t do much
Can a full bolt on v6 3.8 beat a g35 2008 sedan ? Mustang- Performance fuel system , cold air intake , catback , msd coild pack , 4.2 intake manifold , and soon long tubes and bahama tune , should do the job right ?
Wait, you don't have power steering anymore? Seeings as I'm doing this for my fiancé's car, I don't know if she'd like that...I def wouldn't mind tho. It's unnecessary...especially if your doing it for straight line speed.
Hey really hope you’re still active but when you did the swap so you pull the wiring harness and ecu aswell? I just did this swap on my mustang and it’s cranking but not starting
It doesn’t, just frees up some crank horsepower, so like on a stick manual 3.8L in good conditions Will normally put out 170whp on a good day. With the power steering pump, a/c deleted you looking at more like 180whp.
Ayo, I know this is old but im back here again but I discovered that the Ford Ranger Crank fits the 3.8 and 3.9 block to give it a deeper stroke. dyno at 210 with ethanol kit.
I know this video is a bit old, but how far above the stock hood does the IAC and throttle cable plate stick? I've got a F150 manifold I'd like to use, and I'm debating between the 3.5" and 4" Cervini hoods.
@@TheVulcan Thanks for the quick reply! I've got an '01 with a 5-speed that's a good candidate for the F150 swap, though I don't think it'll be quite as fast as yours given that I'll still have AC and PS connected. After watching your other videos I'm curious just how much HP/TQ the F150 mani is worth.
No i got a Manual with 3.27 and a beefy 18x10s in the rear. Stock the manuals are 1 whole second faster than the autos, which is like 6.9 seconds with a sticky summer tire. That's why i only drive manual 3.8s.
That's crazy I got mine and yes it's a 2001 mustang 3.8l v6 it has supersix Motorsports powerpaks BBk headers tuned and cold air intake and do a very surprising even I dident want to believe a 0-60 in 4.6 sec and beat a 2000 Pontiac WS6 5.7 anything's possible if you know what your doing remember if anyone is "like oh a v6" just laugh and them them keep thinking you slow till it's time to race
There is no way possible a v6 of this year with the minor mods you mentioned can do 0-60 in 4.6. Unless by powerpak you mean it's supercharged or something. I could see a supercharged OR a fully built v6 beating a stock ta and doing times like that but no way its happening with your minor mods you claim.
Lifters are cold right? That’s what I always though it was just don’t drive it cold it’ll go away once it’s warm unless yours is doing it while it’s warm than that’s bad lifters idk
Ported the opening where the throttle body is then i only ported/gasket matched the 6 short runners and left the 6 long skinny runners alone. On the F150 manifold on these cars the 6 short runners start big then as it gets closer the the lower intake manifold the ports get smaller to where you can actually feel a lip so porting the short runners all the way through isnt needed. But the 6 long skinny runners(for torque) i left alone. But in these cars you gain about 15hp, and 30tq with just swapping to this manifold not even ported because the stock one is so crappy. In case of the 4.0L all you can do is port the manifold, and maybe add a bigger throttle body.
The f-150 intake increases torque by a huge margin, i also ported it, also i have Headers. A stock one manual 3.8 with a good tire set up can his 60 in 6.8 seconds. Stock Autos more like 8 seconds. Somethings up with yours. Tune and cold air won't do much by itself
@@tylersolomon9659 yeeaaahh higher elivation can drop your 0-60 times 1-2 seconds. Do the windstar manifold swap or the F-150 manifold swap, long tube Headers, weight reduction, and gears.
The Vulcan Thanks man... great job. You are the definition of old school hot roddin.... makin stuff fast for cheap! Those headers shorty? Have you run quarter mile yet? Surprised any other unsuspecting cars?
@@GPMAX01 shorty headers, because of the more torque bias manifold using LTs would improve top end but drop torque, and basically clash negitively. So i used shorties to improve both torque and hp, im trying to make the most possible NA power with a solid redline of between 5200rpm - 5800rpm. And basically with just a manifold and headers i put it in the neighborhood of a 2valve new edge stang, and i havent tuned it and the 0-60 was around 5.7 seconds with a bad Mass air flow sensor, running only 87 pump gas. Also my power steering is deleted.
The Vulcan impressive bro! I always look forward to your channel updates. I have a few Ford’s myself including a ranger that is getting more deadly thanks to you!
I deleted it because of the annoying wine the I couldn't get rid of. You'll see some gains at high RPM, But if you're not comfortable with the tougher steering, you shouldn't. I'm very strong so it never bothered me and I like heavy steering.
Depends on your skill level I guess. But you'd rent a pully puller from the auto part store. Remove the pully then pump. That's easy. Key part: you must drain some, not all fluid from the rack, then cut the lines short, then you'll take some fuel line then loop the lines, or connect them together. This is commonly done on Hondas civic and integras. so there are many videos on it, if you need further guidance.
I call bullshit.. he has headers and a 4.2l intake off a truck .. he says is ported ..key word says .. stock heads stock cams cold air intake possibly mufflers. did not mentions changing the cam or the tune or the gears .. face it people the 3.8L is a turd and just those few lil mods is not going to shine a turd golden. you have only his word it goes this fast nothing more. I give credit where credit is due and he did not even say he removed the godawful power sucking cats on exhaust either. you realize these turds came from the factory with 2.73 rear ends right ? you realize how much hp is needed to propel a mustang zero to 60 with those space shuttle gears ? dont know off hand but a fucking shit load is my guess possibly 5 times the stock hp of that car
Dude. At least do your research before trying to talk shit. The fact that you dont even know gearing differences between mustang years you loose all credibility 🤣🤣1999-2004 manual v6 mustang come with 3.27 gears. not 2.73(11-14 v6 mustang). I didnt state exactly everything i did. Full A/C delete and P/S delete, along with full weight reduction, everything behind the front 2 seats are stripped including rear seats. And im not going put on video that i cut my cats off, that's just dumb. Also the reason i why the F150 manifold is best for a sharp torque increase only, and is the best fit for stock cam which gives it a good 0-60 but over 100mph falls on its face, if i wanted to use a cam i would've used a different manifold that's rpm focused. On all my vehicles I port the upper, lower and throttlebody. It's easy to be a keyboard warrior ain't it?
@@mathewhoffer4541 I said it's quick, not fast. You having a high HP car apparently should know the difference between those words. These cars will never be *fast without boost or a heavy build.

Lifters are cold right? That’s what I always though it was just don’t drive it cold it’ll go away once it’s warm unless yours is doing it while it’s warm than that’s bad lifters idk
@@joelbigdays47 i fixed it, it was my balance shaft
The 98 windstar intake would fit alot better than the f150
What year was the f150?
1997-99
4.6l* not 4.2l
No..... 1997- 1999 4.2L v6 😑
Oh gotcha it looked like a 4.6l plenum mb.
Do you think the f150 intake manifold fit well on on my 2001 3.8 mustang and can you add a turbo on it too ?
Question why didn't you just get a cheat cowl induction hood?
Old video, i do have one
@@TheVulcan yeah I saw the other video and was like whoops lol
I would buy one though if I was you they aren't as expensive as they use to be a new one can be had for 300 bucks
What f150 manifold did he use
1997-1999 4.2 f150 manifold
Any of these mods work on the 4.0 stamps?
4.0 is an entirely different engine than the 3.8L. There really isn't any manifold swaps for the 4.0L and very little aftermarked support
The Vulcan what did you use to port the manifold? Did you just match the gasket holes or port the entire way through?
Ported the opening where the throttle body is then i only ported/gasket matched the 6 short runners and left the 6 long skinny runners alone. On the F150 manifold on these cars the 6 short runners start big then as it gets closer the the lower intake manifold the ports get smaller to where you can actually feel a lip so porting the short runners all the way through isnt needed. But the 6 long skinny runners(for torque) i left alone. But in these cars you gain about 15hp, and 30tq with just swapping to this manifold not even ported because the stock one is so crappy. In case of the 4.0L all you can do is port the manifold, and maybe add a bigger throttle body.
will this work with an automatic?
Yes, the IAC may be temperamental tho. But the big torque bump would help big time when going threw them long ass gears
What year f150 is it
1998
I wonder what’s wrong with mine. I have cold air intake and Sct 91 octane tune with a muffler delete, and my shit does 0-60 in 10 seconds
Automatic?
The f-150 intake increases torque by a huge margin, i also ported it, also i have Headers. A stock one manual 3.8 with a good tire set up can his 60 in 6.8 seconds. Stock Autos more like 8 seconds. Somethings up with yours. Tune and cold air won't do much by itself
@@TheVulcan I heard Colorados air might also do something. And yeah it’s automatic
@@TheVulcan what’s one thing I can do to get the most out of the V6? Weight reduction?
@@tylersolomon9659 yeeaaahh higher elivation can drop your 0-60 times 1-2 seconds. Do the windstar manifold swap or the F-150 manifold swap, long tube Headers, weight reduction, and gears.
What the gear set final drive is in there.?
Stock 3.27
The Vulcan Thanks man... great job. You are the definition of old school hot roddin.... makin stuff fast for cheap!
Those headers shorty? Have you run quarter mile yet? Surprised any other unsuspecting cars?
@@GPMAX01 shorty headers, because of the more torque bias manifold using LTs would improve top end but drop torque, and basically clash negitively. So i used shorties to improve both torque and hp, im trying to make the most possible NA power with a solid redline of between 5200rpm - 5800rpm. And basically with just a manifold and headers i put it in the neighborhood of a 2valve new edge stang, and i havent tuned it and the 0-60 was around 5.7 seconds with a bad Mass air flow sensor, running only 87 pump gas. Also my power steering is deleted.
Only car ive raced so far is my coworkers challenger RT, and i pulled on him. And he couldnt believe it. But he lost
The Vulcan impressive bro! I always look forward to your channel updates. I have a few Ford’s myself including a ranger that is getting more deadly thanks to you!
Now tune it with a sct and watch your eyes pop
How do you tune it with the Sct?
Should I delete my power steering?
I deleted it because of the annoying wine the I couldn't get rid of. You'll see some gains at high RPM, But if you're not comfortable with the tougher steering, you shouldn't. I'm very strong so it never bothered me and I like heavy steering.
@@TheVulcan Is it an easy removal
Depends on your skill level I guess. But you'd rent a pully puller from the auto part store. Remove the pully then pump. That's easy. Key part: you must drain some, not all fluid from the rack, then cut the lines short, then you'll take some fuel line then loop the lines, or connect them together. This is commonly done on Hondas civic and integras. so there are many videos on it, if you need further guidance.
@@TheVulcan alright Thank for that advice 👌 i want to delete it from my car too
why not just get a cowl hood
Power steering delete
If it’s cool do you know where I could find the intake haha
Junk yard or ebay
Preciate it🤟🏽 and also what year haha idk about the f150 tbh
@@jasonpooler6811 1999-2000
The Vulcan Can’t wait you get my ride quick haha
Is it standard or automatic
Manual transmission
@sixstanger00
race a gt of the same gen
Ive raced 2 stock new edge 2 valves and won both times.
@@TheVulcan hell yeah man! have u got any vids? i’m thinking about getting a project v6 and doing this
You need a new rack n your steering would be fine its not the pumps fault but anyway this is my plan! F150 fuck a windstar ha
I call bullshit.. he has headers and a 4.2l intake off a truck .. he says is ported ..key word says .. stock heads stock cams cold air intake possibly mufflers. did not mentions changing the cam or the tune or the gears .. face it people the 3.8L is a turd and just those few lil mods is not going to shine a turd golden. you have only his word it goes this fast nothing more. I give credit where credit is due and he did not even say he removed the godawful power sucking cats on exhaust either. you realize these turds came from the factory with 2.73 rear ends right ? you realize how much hp is needed to propel a mustang zero to 60 with those space shuttle gears ? dont know off hand but a fucking shit load is my guess possibly 5 times the stock hp of that car
so this is what you get when someone who doesnt know jack about cars makes a u tube video and tries to bull shit his way through it :)
Dude. At least do your research before trying to talk shit. The fact that you dont even know gearing differences between mustang years you loose all credibility 🤣🤣1999-2004 manual v6 mustang come with 3.27 gears. not 2.73(11-14 v6 mustang). I didnt state exactly everything i did. Full A/C delete and P/S delete, along with full weight reduction, everything behind the front 2 seats are stripped including rear seats. And im not going put on video that i cut my cats off, that's just dumb. Also the reason i why the F150 manifold is best for a sharp torque increase only, and is the best fit for stock cam which gives it a good 0-60 but over 100mph falls on its face, if i wanted to use a cam i would've used a different manifold that's rpm focused. On all my vehicles I port the upper, lower and throttlebody. It's easy to be a keyboard warrior ain't it?
@@mathewhoffer4541 I said it's quick, not fast. You having a high HP car apparently should know the difference between those words. These cars will never be *fast without boost or a heavy build.
