hey

so were the 5.0s actually 4.9s?

or like before the 90's they were 5.0s and after that they were 4.9s but called 5.0's

i dunno some guy was tryin to tell me this today

SuperSlow5.0

All 5.0's are 4.9's. a real 5.0 is a 305 cubic inch motor, mustangs are only 302 cubic inches, making them a 4.9. But Ford thought 4.9 would sound kinda funny, as well as look dumb on the side of a car so they called em 5.0's

ooticamitica

they were all 4.9's, 305 is actually 5.0 (that awful chebby motor)

HACKGT350

its something like 4.9853456847463278548956903498 which rounds up to 5.0 so call it what you want
