Just curious, but they list both a auto w/ manual shift, and a full 6 speed manual tranny. Are these cars FWD (didn't say on the site that Icould see, or show pics of the engine installed). If they are, would they mount to a 3800? Anyone see where I am going with this?

I'd rather have the 3.9 myself. 3800'* powerband is made to be streetable, not fast.
The outboard wheels should be decent.
Lots of new cars are getting heavy again, the 05 Mustang is about 100-200 lbs heavier then an early 90'* Gen bonnie...

It is just a stroked 3.5L which is a bored 3.4L which is a bored 3.1L. The 3.9L has pushed this engine to the max with the stroke and the bore. As for the MPG - they are going to be coming out with DOD in the near future for the 3.9L so that should boost the MPG a little.
