    How shall I answer that? Yes. However, what makes this thread different from a "How To" thread is that this thread doesn't contain all those little details....

    Hey, you know how it is - you've got to work hard to get information thus you're not likely to give it up easily. Reliable 3.8L info is quite difficult to obtain and given the large assortment of factory 3.8L parts from 1994 to 1998 you must do a lot of background work before trying to build. And a lot of that work involves procuring parts and making measurements; not terribly expensive or hard to do but definitely time consuming. I've been buying and inspecting V6 stang parts since 2008. There's a lot to look at.

    Yes, this is a proper build. I will be interested in learning the output and seeing the results on track. Of course, Ron will likely guard the output like a bag o gold, LOL

    Nah, I'm pretty open with the results and helpful with folks doing the same car as I am. These are sort of odd ducks though and there probably isn't a ton of interest in duplicating them. I expect power/torque to be outstanding (relative to ITS), braking to be okay, and handling to be so-so. Overall how will it do? don't know but I'm having fun building it and looking forward to running it on track.
