Had one of those 3.8s in an '83 ragtop Mustang. Bought it new, 6 month later it's burning oil like crazy. Back to Ford it goes. "There is a service alert about the valve seals cracking. We'll check it out." Come on guys, you've been building these motors since 1964 and you put crappy valve seals in them. I tried to order the car with the 302 automatic combo "Not available in CA" right next to it sat a new T-Bird 302 automatic. That 3.8 ran well and the following year they switched to EFI and it really woke that little beggar up.
