Way out there swap!!
I am in need of some info here. Ive looked into a swap that will make you guys cringe lol. I was Thinking of a Ford 3.8L V6 out of the 86-91 Mustang. what i need to know is It plausible and what would be needed to Make 300-400 Hp at the crank with a Turbo set up. i want to Use the Engine and Trans together so no need for adapters to mate the engine to the Fc trans. what wiring do i need to modify. ill be going Carbed so no need for a Ecu. any Input and HELP not bad mouthing would be great. let the iDeas and Info Flow Guys

the 86-93 mustang either had the 2.3L 4 or the 5 slow... they didn't have a v6 mustang until the "new" fairmont err mustang came out in 94?

you do know those v6 mustangs all blew up under warranty right?
like sen2 said, totally pointless swap, you might as well find a v6 mustang...

If you insist on using such a poor platform, at least get a leg up on power and get the F150 4.2 shortblock, toss ported 3.8 heads on it, get a huge cam, lightweight flywheel, spend a whole bunch of money getting a T-5 or TKO to fit behind it, and then start breaking N/A diffs and stub axles like they're toothpicks.

been saying the same thing locally.
Why go through the big trouble of swapping a foreign motor in and going for a crappy 200hp v6?
My lm7 with just a cam will put out as much power as the turbo'd v6.
Just because the motor is cheap, doesn't make it a good swap. That's like putting a CA18 into a FC just because you can get the motors
