yea, but you can bolt on aftermarket heads and intake, and cam for the 5.0, just like the 4.6 and do the same! were not getting into another discussion about this! leave it for the other thread

in that case any 5.0 would be best. you're supposed to have special tools to pull off things on a 4.6 so for someone who doesnt know alot about a car i would definately avoid the 4.6. no timing chains to pull off to simply pull the heads off. imho i like the fox hatches better than notches. but thats me, which is why i got my old 88 gt

its not too hard for a 4.6, i done a head tear down at work awhile back, just mark the gears and chain.
i was going by the weight of an aode also, sure it might be a tad high, but once i weight it i will know for sure.

Incorrect again Adder.
3,380 lbs even - BONE STOCK 1994 5spd GT, with full tank and no driver.
I just weighed my new '93 stock coupe (AOD) - 3,184 lbs, with one gallon shy of a full tank of gas.
Also weighed a 2000 Mustang GT, 5spd, Leather, 17x9 Chrome wheels, 5/8's of a tank of gas - 3,337 lbs.
Weighed my old '93 hatchback (AFR heads/subframes), 5spd, half of a tank of gask - 3,170 lbs.
These were all on CERTIFIED race scales.

so you are going to tell me that the scale at my local NHRA sanctioned track, is incorrect?

Yep, it is not bad at all. Many people comment on those sort of things because they have not worked on one or two.

RE: 89-93?..94-97?
like mentioned before if you want strictly a track car go with the fox-89-93..but if you wanted something fairly fast but be able to cruise the streets go with the 04-95 stly they have that newer look to it
