Default 2.3 to 3.8 swap
What is involved in a 2.3 to a 3.8 engine swap. My Mustang is a 1989 LX hatchback.

I like the 2.3 for the mpg (27) but I would like a little more power. Is any 3.8 like any other or some better than others?

Do a 5.0L swap IMO. If you dont' want to do that swap a turboed 2.3 out of and SVO or Thunderbird SC.
