3.8/4.2L Split Port Swap into a Fox Reply #61 – April 09, 2012, 02:18:45 PM Not much. Cougar has been sitting in my garage for 3+ years. I plan on getting back to it very soon, but that and $0.35 will get you a collect call. I'll give an update post when I get back on the horse. Quote Selected

3.8/4.2L Split Port Swap into a Fox Reply #63 – November 29, 2012, 09:15:13 PM Yes, this project still exists! The Cougar is still sitting in my garage. Anybody have an idea if the '99-'04 engine bay is similar enough for me to run the stock air intake assembly without major slice and dice to the bay? Quote Selected

3.8/4.2L Split Port Swap into a Fox Reply #65 – December 10, 2012, 01:03:42 AM a little tid bit of 3.8 stuff to further this thread..the internals will swap into a 3.8L from the 4.2 (crank, rods, pistons , cam, balance shaft.however, this would only be true for the 88 3.8L motor. The 4.2L is internal balanced engine and is more compatable with the 88 3.8L than the 87 on down 3.8 motors. the 88 birds / cougs have this motor in this body style one year only.the 87 on down 3.8's were all externally balanced engines.in short, all you 88 3.8 folks could easily do a stroker and .4L is a gain.

Getting ready for a wedding, selling my house, renovating my fiance's house. Buddy's keep telling me to get a work weekend together. It's on the back burner, but slowly moving up. Quote Selected

Re: 3.8/4.2L Split Port Swap into a Fox Reply #70 – April 25, 2020, 08:16:02 AM Awesome job bud. I am the kind of guy that loves to do odd ball stuff to cars and with you being able to upgrade to the split port 3.8L engine just shows that there is more options then finding a standard replacement to stick in there. I think that a 3.8L SC engine would be an option too. Some days I wish I was rich so I could just do stuff like this all day. Keep up the good work and show as many pics as you can. Quote Selected
