I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

the SC 3.8 was 89-90 only
It's Gumby's fault.

That's a GM-looking distributor.  Also, he did all that suspension work for ride stance... ride-stance?

In Canada and the U.S., yes. In Mexico I think they still had Cougars running the 3.8 SC motor until 1994-ish.

Ha! Take that.  :flip:

I agree... How you boys(or girls) in them smog states gonna get it certified??? They'll take one look and boot it out the door..

BTW.. I ran the VIN through my NICB program and it came with the NA 3.8, so much for the '93 XR7s having 5.0s std..

All 1993 Cougars were XR7's....V6 standard, V8 optional. The dude's description states that it was originally a 3.8 car, but a 1985 Mustang 5.0 was dropped in. This is a converted 5.0 car.
