Ginetta G55 with Ford 3.7

[DANA44]

Another place the 3.7 lives besides the so called car rental market by some.

Wow...imagine that!...Ginetta racers using the antiquated 3.7 powerplant. You know, that engine that never was supposed to be in the New s550 Mustang...that engine that was supposed to be supplanted by the Ecoboost. Glad to see that video of that race-tuned 3.7. Thanks for posting.

They tuned it for 370 HP according to wikipedia.. The thing only weighs like 2000 lb, should be pretty damn fast.

How were they able to make that much power?

Yes, HOW?

It sounds so sexy

Noticed the relocated throttle body? I'm guessing ported upper and lower intake manifolds, ported heads, relocated throttle body to increase plenum volume, headers (probably shortly due to the sound), full exhaust, race gas (100 octane plus), and an accompanying tune.

That would be a lot of money... But still cheaper then a procharger

I guess the amount of cheap rental car carcasses in the scrapyard made their decision easier. Lol

Not really

Ha ha...there aren't any V-6 Mustang carcasses hanging around in rental car lots. The Mustang convertibles are their best sellers when they are retired from service and what might surprise everyone for "top resale" values. I do not know how Ecoboost Mustang convertibles are priced when sold.:shrug:

Ah my apologies you lost me at convertible...

At least we don't have an engine that has a tendency to go boom..... :lol:

In all seriousness though, the 3.7 is a great engine with great power. It is just not the future Ford wants..... Ford wants the small displacement turbo vehicles so they can meet (kinda) the new standards for fuel economy and for their vehicles to be cheaper in Europe.

I would love to spend like 5k to make my mustang feel like this
