Maverick 3.8 SC is on the drawing board..

I have a 3.8V6 super charged 91 Cougar engine with a 5 speed,, I think its Time to drop that into a Maverick I am building,,,, I will take pics,, and post them in the Gallery,, Going to get started here this weekend,,

 

Cool! Looking forward to the pics. What kind of numbers does that engine put out?

 

It will pump out 300 HP when we get done with a few changes,, The engine I have had for years,, has 30k miles on it,, been kept indoors all this time wrapped in shrink wrap,,,

 

That will be very cool. At the very least you will be making custom headers. At the worst you may have to shave the shock towers. I don't know if there is a front sump pan for those engines or not, but I know there are dual sump pans, so you should be able to work something out. I tried to drop a 3.8 from a '96 Mustang in my Maverick, and it was a no go. A 3.0 Vulcan from a '01 Ranger was a very nice fit though, if it weren't for that damn rear sump oil pan. The 3.0 is a 60 degree V6. Nice thing about the 3.8/4.2 is they have the SBF bell housing pattern. I'm seriously thinking about going with the Mustang II front end just so I can run the newer engines, most of which are strictly rear sump pans. The 2.3 Duratec 4 banger in the '01.5+ Ranger would be very nice in a daily driven Maverick, that would easily be a 30+ mpg hwy. car with 2/3 more power then then the old I6's.

 

very cool. cant wait to see this one get going

 

Cool! I like it!

 

my brother plans to use the same engine/tranny combo in a sn95 mustang

 

That will be a really cool power train.

 

Getting all the machine work done now,,,, Having the super-charger tweeked and rebuilt,,, This should be a fun combo in a Maverick,,,,Lmao

 

look into a 94-95 supercoupe blower, they are far better than the early models...

check here for parts www.sccoa.com

the first supercoupe just went into the 9s on a 3400lb tbird so you can make power

 

I have Prob 20 Cougars and T-Birds here,,,, Got so many Cougar T-Bird parts I could prob build a dozen cars from the ground up,,.. If you need anything just yell,,, Thanks for the tip,,:Handshake

cool, i got a 95 bird Allen Supercharged 4.6 , 04 cobra block, forged internals, 2V PI heads/cams , Dirty Dog converter

 

Thats gotta be a fun car to drive,,,

 

my firend is putting some finishing touches on his '97 30th anv XR7, and i know a few people from the tri-state t-bird/cougar club(1980's-1990's models).

would it be ok if i fowarded them your contact info?

 

I have a 87 T-bird that was hit in the rear,,, The owner had souther doors and front fenders put on 1 week before she was rear-ended,, she is looking to seel the car for parts,, both doors and front clip extremely nice,, Most of the cars I have are from 89 to 97 Cougar and T- Birds,,,,, we stock all the wirering and tons of parts,, and have SC engines and other OEM parts from cars we bought and stripped,,
