In 1998 the compression ratio increased for a total of 180 hp (134 kW) and 240 lb⋅ft (325 N⋅m). In 2001, like the 3.3 the 3.8 received the symmetrical reinforced plastic intake plenum and revised camshaft which boosted output to 215 hp (160 kW) at 5000 rpm with 245 lb⋅ft (332 N⋅m) at 4000 rpm. Vehicles using the 3.8 include:

The Ford Modular V8 engines and the V6 Cologne use either the Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) for four-valve engines, or the Charge Motion Control Valve (CMCV) for three-valve engines.
Simple direct ducting would give problems where the nearest cylinders received more airflow. The pulsating demand from the cylinders would also show problems of either pressure waves in the duct, or a shortage of inlet air towards the end of the inlet phase. The solution is to provide a large-volume plenum chamber between the inlet and the ...

Often called the "Ram Air III", this engine was officially called the "400 Ram Air" for 1969 and then simply "Ram Air" for the 1970 model year.
