3.8L Mustang garbage engine based.

3.8 is a different engine than 4.2 i believe, 3.8 is their vulcan and thats more desireable for many than 4.2 . I think the 3.8 uses a windsor bellhousing

I’m just curious why anyone would want to drive one of these trucks 98 mph+? Unless you have something like

Wh4t3v3rs .​

Had a LEO buddy pass me on interstate and sent me a text asking why I was driving so slow. I was in my '91 so I just turned the boost controller on and hammered down. Got it into 4th and locked the converter. Passed my buddy going 158 by his radar.... Poor thing was screaming. It was pretty smooth and stable.

They are all Essex V6s. The 4.2L is a stroked 3.8L. The 3.8 FWD used the Vulcan bellhousing. The RWD 3.8/3.9/4.2L used the Windsor bellhousing.

I had the Express van up to ~130 when it still had the 350. It was also pretty smooth and stable.

Ha pretty much.
Next time I saw him was at a road stop the county was doing. They told me if I didn't do a burnout for them I was getting a ticket for whatever they could make up... so 3rd gear sounded like a good time to let out. Those were the fun times. County I live In now doesn't have too many cool folks on the force.

Correct, my engine had a knock sensor equipped and I did a DEEP Dive to find out if the thing truly was "useless" as in it did nothing. I have to pay for an official license of ford EEC-V calibration/software definition file, to then plunge into the text of it to find and see if there is any logic related to the knock sensor.

my EEC-V strategy AGANF (and or AGANFRE?),my EEC-V catchcode KKD0, my EEC-V hardware code (PCM) ML1-421

to then read and find out if the knock sensor truly does anythign, I have to pay up to ford since the strategy (96 obd2 4.9l E4OD) is not popular for tuning, no one has it published.

I found my own post by doing a google search on KKD0, if anyone cared to know, I did find out the knock sensor, as of 1996 so presumably all the years of the EFI 4.9, DOES do something. Detecting knock, it pulls 4 degrees of timing.
Specifically, 4° between 1100 amd 3800 rpm at full operating temp
