Tell him to be careful modifying the V6's. The tranny's were weak.

I raced a 97 3.4 V8 at the now defunct Detroit Dragway (RIP) and the best I could get out of the car was a 15.998. (I dont remember the mph). There were 4 of us that drove the car that day and we only had 1 15 second run out of the car out of like 20 runs..

The earlier comments about SHO parts being pricey are VERY valid. Be careful modifying them.

I have a friend at Ford in the Engine Department that developed the engine with Yamaha, it was the most expensive engine to come out of Ford at the time.

One last thing, the 3.9L V8 was mentioned...the 3.9 is a Jaguar designed engine which goes in the Lincoln LS and will be in the new T-bird come May.
