Ford installed the 4.0L V6 in the Mustang in 2005. While it was not accepted like the V8, people did appreciate this build. It was in use through the 2010 year in the U.S. and Canada. Legend has it that women were the target market for the smaller motor. In any case, a used 4.0 Mustang engine for sale is offered on this page.
Specs of the 4.0-Liter Block
Ford Motor Company knew that redesigning the Mustang would be expensive. Instead of going with a new motor, a trusted old standard was utilized instead. The same SOHC block found in the Explorer and Ranger was tapped for installation. It did provide more torque that the regular 3.8L series.
There are 12 valves in the 4.0 engine. The horsepower is clocked at 210. The official specs rate the displacement as 245 CID. The most common inventory to find used is the VIN N 8th digit. This was the base motor that Ford installed in cars built up until 2010. The red line limit is 5250 RPM.
There is a 5-speed automatic transmission that must be used on all OEM installations. This did preserve fuel economy. A person should expect to get about 19 miles per gallon with a good condition used Mustang motor. This number could fluctuate though.
Swapping a V6 Mustang Engine
One thing different on the 4.0L is the shorter timing chain. This is pretty common across all compatible automobiles and SUVs. This is not a known defect although it can be something to watch out for. Someone who is replacing a blown motor might want to go with the lowest price. This might be a trouble spot though.
Auto Pros USA understands the need for people to think about discounts off the MSRP first. What should always be thought about is the block mileage. The condition of the hoses and surface rust are important too. The Ford salvage yard inventory that we sell has already been verified for its condition.
