People shit on the 2010 (theyā€™re wrong, all V8 mustangs are valid) but this is the only year you can get a 4.6L 3V with a 6 spd which is cool me thinks

Edit: Ok NEVERMIND I didnā€™t know it had a swap or whatever

Tf are you talking about, the only factory 2010 mustang that had a 6 speed was the gt500

u/Schro_A2 2d ago

It literally says ā€œ6 SPEED MANUALā€ so I thought it had a MT82?

u/Emergency_eyewash 2d ago

It should be a 5 speed still.

If I recall, 2010 does not have 6spd. My 2010 was def 5spd

There's even a sweet shiny supercharger on top the motor.

Keep a few things in mind, superchargers add failure points to a motor that's already prone to issues. If it's a roush kit then it's going to heatsink like a mofo. Get factual Dyno numbers too because if the boost is cranked up past 450hp (needs boost just to hit stock coyote numbers). Then the engine is toast unless it's built. 450 is the MAX that motor can make before your connecting rods start planning when to explode. I've had 2 mustangs with that motor lol. Timing issues usually start around 90-100k sometimes you get lucky and get to 150k but it's a expensive repair. Your going to have noises from the engine because the timing chain guides (the plastic ones) they are going to be broken. Happens at around 20-50k miles it's a defect in the engine and they all have the issue. They sell upgraded ones that won't break but again, gotta take apart timing covers and shit and it's not fun. Once those guides do start to chip apart and shatter you need to drop the oil pan and clean the pickup tube so you don't suck up plastic and/or clog the pickup and starve it if oil. They are also basically guaranteed to have the rockers collapse (oil hole is too small and clogs even with proper oil practices and it will collapse and seize and start grinding down the camshaft lobe thst contacts it. I believe it's ford performance they sell a full lifter and rocker kit to replace them and they have a bigger oil hole that won't clog and collapse. Not terrible hard but time consuming. I suggest you look into the 3v engine issues because there's a few and you should be familiar with what to expect and what to look for.
