Wesley Young you could do a vid on how to install a cold air intake I feel that a lot of people would watch that because for a lot of people that’s the first modification that they would get on a Mustang.
I've had two different 99-04 V6 Mustangs over the last 12 years and thought I knew everything about these cars but you learn something new everyday. Guess I'm going to call up my local yards and see if I can find one. Thanks a bunch!
Nice car bro! I have a 1999 3.8 was parked for 5 years. Put a new gas pump, brake calipers, battery.. I revived it. Thanks for all the information. Your car is real nice. 👍🏼
Omg same here. I recently get a 2001 v6 parked for 8-10 years. New battery and gas pump, as you said, it revived 🤙🏼 looking for the first mod (probably a new shifter)
Wesley Young I got the car! It’s a white 2000 v6 mustang. I’m trying to figure out exactly how to do the winstar swap and what parts I would need for it
@@Bananasvt_ its pretty straight forward actually. The intakw itself bolts right up. You'll have to extend some wires and have to do something for the hood clearance cause it won't clear stock hood
@@sn95tony28 Thank you! And is it actually that easy? Because everywhere I have looked people say it is difficult and you have to move a lot of stuff around
@@freshpotatoes1107 I found some shorty headers that the junkyard and some Eibach lowering springs from craigslist. I installed the headers and it definitely has a better exhaust note. I was able to bolt them up to the original exhaust
@@0rvelazqu That's a nice steal. I'm a junkyard dog myself. I don't know what I'm doing half the time but I always mess up and end with the perfect result lol. I'm good at panel pulling and basic parts. I'll spend time pulling parts for no reason just to learn and put then back in even if I don't need them.
@@freshpotatoes1107 I do have to say that the 3.8 is one of the hardest engines I've ever worked on. Only because of how tight everything is, the motor mounts are a nightmare. The water pump took me like 6 hours because you have to remove the alternator and power steering pump, which is one big piece as it is integrated with the mounting bracket. The spark plugs wires are also tricky to remove and install since they pass behind the intake manifold and don't get me started with the passenger side exhaust manifold with the egr tube that comes out of it! I guess that's just Ford lol
My 2003 V6 Coupe Pony Edition has a sway bar. I just bought it in july 22, 4th owner, never came out in winter.It is lowered with Eibach shocks and Bilstein springs so i imagine that they added the sway bar at the same time. I was very surprised of the handling when i test drive it before buying. Although it was 16 years after i sold my 2000 GT that i had bought new it cornered like i was surprised. Will need to change sway bar bushings front and back this coming spring although they do not many noise yet but you could slide a round toothpick or a 2'' inch nail between the bracket and the rubber.
Well this video informed me of the no rear sway bar situation so I scored one on Ebay. Said "approximately 25 mm" and it's a takeoff so I'm assuming it's 24 mm. I made a noticeable difference and I can go into corners about 5 mph faster casually. Going to try to score a 30 mm GT bar for the front to round her out.
As someone who owned a 95 V6 SN95, I can tell you that the 94-98 body style didn't come with a rear bar either. No V6 SN95 did. Which is bizarre, considering Mustang is a sports car and Ranger is a truck, yet Ford put a rear bar on my '94 Splash.
That's odd. Not sure why yours didn't have one. But I promise you the 94-98 v6 Mustangs are supposed to have them, they're 21mm. When I got my sway bar in the junkyard, I originally pulled one off a 94-98 v6, then I stumbled on to a 96 Gt and grabbed that one instead. Funny, my 1989 Bronco II also has a rear sway bar, but 2000 Mustang didn't.
@@itsnotan8 To be fair, my 95 was the absolute bare bones base model you could get. Didn't even have power windows. No wing, no power seats, etc. I was the 2nd owner, but the lady who had it before me probably walked into Ford and asked for most base model Stang they offered. I'm surprised I didn't have to Flintstone it for propulsion.
Also, gt swaybars are designed around weight. Just transferring the bars, same rear weight but lighter front weight, is equivalent to using a larger bar front and not changing rear? How does it handle the turn in? Overly aggressive?
I would assume they're designed with the weight in mind. But I'd assume for the smaller and non existent rear sway bar on the v6 is just for cost saving. I'm gonna say no, just based on my experience. I added the rear gt sway bar first and there was an immediate improvement in handling. Then I added the front gt sway bar and felt a little improvement, but not much. I can't attest to the performance based solely on they sway bars since I have Ford racing c springs that have been cut down, caster/camber plates and wider tires. But it has a decently sharp turn in, not necessarily aggressive, but not mild. Almost zero body roll, but that's probably in part to the really stiff springs. The car handles better than I'm willing to push it. The amount of g force it puts on the side of my head feels equivalent to slamming on your brakes in my opinion.
Hey man great video, i was wondering if you can tell me if a front sway bar from a 2004 v6 would be interchangeable with the rear? asking because there's a lot of v6 in the wreck yard where i live, but theres no GT.
Thanks a lot man! Sorry, but nope. Front and rear are totally different sway bars. One from a 94-98 v6 mustang will fit though. They're just not as big/thick as the gt's.
eBay lol. 2in spacers for 5x4.5(5x114.3) lug pattern. Wheels are 17x9 Cobra R's with 275/40/17s. But keep in mind I have a 94-98 rear diff so it's .75in narrower on each side and the tires will hit the fenders if not rolled.
2in spacers I got from eBay. Also keep in mind I have a 94-98 mustang rear end so it's slightly more narrow and a 2in spacer is a bit much. The tires rub the fender.
Hey, a thought just crossed my mind I've been meaning to ask somebody, but couldn't get around to it because I don't know many mustang guys like me in person. You know any good ways to get surface rust and stuff like that off the bottom of the '00 stang reliably and keep it off? Ohio's a fucking bitch with road salts, and I don't want my baby getting all messed up if I need to drive her here and there in the winter! I've kept her beautiful so far, but I'm looking to keep her for life if I could. Any advice would be HEAVENLY, thanks! I'll be looking to get a sway bar on here too now thanks to you.
My understanding of it is Ford ran out of the 3.8 Mustang engines close to the end of the new edge production. Instead of making more engines, they used the 3.9 from the Windstar and Freestars. Exact same engines, just the 3.9 had a slightly longer stroke.
@@itsnotan8 that's what iv heard about the 04 engine but iv also heard they weren't as good as the 3.8 because of how cheaply those 3.9s were built they just couldn't take the beating the Og 3.8 could
switch out rear end for a 03-04 gt rear end, cold air intake, tune, 3.73 gears, better spark plugs and wires, exhaust, camshaft, pistons, intake manifold, better springs.
jesus christ ford is cheap didn't even put a rear sway in new edge v6's. When the camaro died that allowed Ford to really cheap out on shit like this to 1. cut costs on the v6 models that most people just bought for looks 2. gimp the v6 model to make the GT's feel more impressive. If they had just done the simple stuff like this and given them Limited slips from the factory V6 mustangs wouldn't have gotten the bad rap they had for years until the day they killed the 3.7 Mustang. I was too young to appreciate the New edge models but I remember talking to older car guys who modded 2V's and 3.8 new edges and I remember them telling me if you give a 3.8 new edge a set of 4.10 w/ a LSD they wheren't that far behind a stock 2V. Honestly makes me think ford knew the 2v 4.6 wasn't all that much better then the 3.8L which from my understanding Ford basically copied from GM/Buick's legendary 3800. Then when they went to the 3V they dumped the 3.8 for the old 4.0 truck motor which yes did make good torque honestly seems like more of a lateral move and if anything they probably should have just kept the 3.8/3.9 into the s197 and maybe worked on adding variable valve timing or worked on the valve train or heads to give it more power, I think they just switched to the 4.0 because they where throwing that into explorers and rangers etc so why not save a buck and us it as the mustang v6
