that 4.0L V6, what other cars..... - 9/8/2004 3:40:07 PM    Colvindesign   Posts: 58 Joined: 9/7/2004 Status: offline Just wondering what other cars come with it. It would be easier for me if I could get one out of a wrecked something or other before I get my new V6 so I can start tearing it down to see what needs to be built up. Is that the same one as in the Xplorer? < Message edited by Colvindesign -- 9/8/2004 4:06:13 PM > Post #: 1

I have a 99' ranger w/ the ohv 4.0 but my buddy has an 01' edge that has the 4.0 that ford is dropping into the 05 v6 mustang. that 4.0 has some balls even for being deprived of 2 cylinders. _____________________________ 1999 Mustang GT 1991 Mustang Notch 2000 F-150 1931 Model A Truck (in reply to matthockey32) Post #: 3

Let me know what you find out. Later, Nick _____________________________ 1999 Mustang GT 1991 Mustang Notch 2000 F-150 1931 Model A Truck (in reply to matthockey32) Post #: 6

To me it does not make sense for them to make 2 separate 4.0 SOHC V6s..... but I have seen dumber things from American car companies. (in reply to matthockey32) Post #: 8
