I read that the 99 mustang essex v6 has 190 hp b/c of teflon-coated pistons, a more open cylinder head and a variable length intake manifold. Can these parts be swapped to a thunderbird sc engine? Also, I'm not very mechanically or financially inclined. I figure that both the pistons and head are probably alot more expensive to have work done to, as opposed to the intake manifold, which i think would probably be alot cheaper to swap. BTW, does coating the pistons with teflon actually increase power by itself? or does it just make it more reliable? do you think the intake manifold difference could actually make that much more power? is this a good mod for what it costs? thanx.
 
While the heads and intakes will bolt right up to the SC block, you would have to come up with a custom made intake manifold to bolt the M90 to the splitport heads.

(In a word......no).
