i know this is a truck forum, but im looking at a 95 Mustang with the 3.8 and a 5 speed, its got 130,000 some wmiles on it, im told the heads were machined, dont know why, anyone have any eperience with these, how durable is the motor and transmission this thing has
I think the 3.8 kinda' had a thing for failing head gaskets, sort of like the 4.2 with the lower intake manifold gasket.
That might explain why the heads would have been machined.
The 3.8 was actually used in some early '80s F100 trucks.
