3.8L 1984 Lx quick performance hints?

first i have to say the throttle bottie injection v6s arent really worth modding. you would probably be better off doing an engine swap. i have an 86 v6 and that is probably what i am going to do. and about the exhaust i don't think there are any kits for the older v6s but if you can weld it shouldn't be to hard to make one up. if you can't weld you could probably find an exhaust shop that does good cheap work.

not to burst ur bubble but u would be happier if u swaped to a v8 u can proll find a used 302 for a few hundred and a tranny for a few hundred.its just not worth wasting good money to mod a v6 and then a t-body v6.ur best bet would be finding a stang that got smashed and transfer everything to urs.
