Welcome!

They are nice cars, as long as it has been well maintained. The v6 isn't going to win any major races but is a decent engine.

i am not very sure, because The V6 is very customisable... the cougar 1992 v6 have a turbocharger aceptable and exist some mustang v6 3.8 very fast.

that idea a ethanol v6 turbocharger...

:Burnout:

Descartes taught us "I think therefore I am". This cougar is not a thinking thing...how can it...be? But there it sits, existing in space time. Now--
 
Just kidding. The things I come up with for humor are a liiiiittle disturbing. Welcome aboard the.....board (LOL). Lots of good info and camraderie here.

Hello and welcome.

Ive been wondering about a 3.8 with a 5 speed swap for a daily driver.  Wonder what the mileage would be??

I would guess similar to a mildly driven 5.0.

Talk to CougarSE. He did it. Although judging from all the talk about how 3.8's with AOD get about the same mileage as 5.0's with AOD then I would assume the statement about being the same as a 5.0 with a 5 spd would be about true.

Oklahoma? Hey you're out there by Vinnie! Sorry... :rollin:

As far as it dying in the heat, you'd probably have to be more specific on what it was doing. Could be a few different things.

Well it all depends on what you mean by "dying"? Was it overheating? Was it randomly shutting off at idle? Was it just losing power? You gotta be more specific :)
