I feel bad for having a 5.0L in my Turbo Coupe. If I had the choice and funds it would be a 2.3L instead. Now if my car came with a 3.8L I would pop it and put something different in. Not that the 3.8's are terrible, but you really don't get much of a gain in MPG for it to be worth driving a six cylinder.

I was really contemplating doing this, around here people are selling good running 5.0 HO's for around 5-800 complete
I paid 6 bills just for Pistons for my TC and it's been such a pain to get them and they are still a month away

there's nothing wrong with the 3.8.. gets good gas mileage, runs well, and you already know your not a power house so having said that then there arent any issues.
for all the bashing the 3.8 gets about HG failure, 25 years later they are still around,, gotta tell you something.

coming soon your engine will be subject to a virus because we all are going to eventually be cloud served web connected to eachother.

I never had a problem with the 3.8, the 88 is the better of the two to have simply for the bolt on adder 4.2L rotating parts. The 4.2L are in junk yards all the time but its nice to know 3.8 guys have a very cheap upgrade choice.
