v6 head question?

[mustangfan]

My 95 v6 has a bad valve but i am not sure which one it is. I can get another head cheaper then replacing the valves in my current head. Now my question is what years are compatible to my 3.8? Will any 3.8 from 94-98 work or does it have to be 94-95? Thanks guys.

94-98 mustang, and any thunderbird 3.8...these were the factory single port cars

well found out yesterday that though they are single port heads 95 and 96 are different. They will not transfer from 95 to 96 and vice versa. So spent $35 on a head that i can't even use

Well after complete teardown of the head and putting it back together and then putting it on the car and tightening everything one piece at a time and bam up and running fine so either stuck valve or something weird. Either way it is running for now.
