My dad has a 1998 Ford Econoline, with a 4.2L V-6. Now I'm looking for upgrade/performance parts. This is because that six blows. If someone can locate some parts for me, that would be great. This excludes K&N Air Filter and MSD Spark Plug Wires. As I have already found those. Thanks! 76 maverick Sun Nov 16, 2003 12:26 am  Skill Level: Learning Joined: 11 Nov 2003 Posts: 10 you could put true duel 2 inch exhaust (if you go much bigger you will start loosing you`r low end torque) port the intake port, port and polish the exhaust port on the heads then port match the intake manifold to the heads that should help put an extra kick in you`r but MP81 Sun Nov 16, 2003 8:40 am  Skill Level: Mekada Joined: 09 Jul 2003 Posts: 1033 Location: Michigan Thanks, I was thinking dual too, maybe I'll get a local Muffler shop to do it. However with the head porting etc... I don't really feel like going internal into the engine...yet... 76 maverick Tue Nov 18, 2003 2:45 am  Skill Level: Learning Joined: 11 Nov 2003 Posts: 10 is it an over head cam engin ? how many coils does it have ? it wouldn`t be to hard to make a CAI that with a hy flow air filter brand don`t much matter cool blue , K&N , ect should give you a good 20 - 25 HP . When it comes to the plug wires 8.8 - 9 mm will be fine for a stock to mildly modded engin 76 maverick Tue Nov 18, 2003 2:48 am  Skill Level: Learning Joined: 11 Nov 2003 Posts: 10 here are a cuple of links if you haven`t all ready been there www.jegs.com www.summitracing.com both places have free catalogs MP81 Tue Nov 18, 2003 6:52 am  Skill Level: Mekada Joined: 09 Jul 2003 Posts: 1033 Location: Michigan Actually, to tell the thruth, I'm pretty damn sure that it is a pushrod engine. No OHC's! I think I might give him a K&N Air Filter for his birthday/Christmas. That is $50 though, oh well, i can get it. 76 maverick Wed Nov 19, 2003 3:03 pm  Skill Level: Learning Joined: 11 Nov 2003 Posts: 10 I`ll look and see if thats the same V6 that came in the rustangs if it is you could probly get headers and a bigger TB MP81 Wed Nov 19, 2003 3:43 pm  Skill Level: Mekada Joined: 09 Jul 2003 Posts: 1033 Location: Michigan I think the 'Stang six is a 3.8 SOHC
