I'm sure you saw my pics (in sig), but I used the original block and heads and built everything else

If they put a v8 into that then the mustang wont be anything.

5.0 is a very broad range of vehicles.....they might be faster than some, but not all factory 5.0's

All except the turbocharged 5.0's.

Care to back up this staement.

They were built by yamaha and as a result, parts / after market presence is tiny and Very expensive . They were very hard to work on and at the end of the day, still Fwd drive.

I base this on the fact we build motors and work hand in hand with a few large engine shops. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I had a 91, 5 speed. Fun car, but expensive to fix and a lot broke. The v8 ones were a little nicer, but quite a bit slower

You know what he meant, and he makes a valid point. Power + FWD = spin spin spin spin spin... oh hey, traction 10 seconds later when the RWD/AWD car is already 40 car lengths ahead! lol
