Um, a Mach will go high 12's with tires and a decent driver. Why trade for a 5.0?

mack will go 12's with some minor mods...

pretty much the same stuf with the 5.0
gears (4.10 wit 26" tire, 4.33's with a taller slick)
lt's/h
race bullet with turn downs
pulleys, cai, and a tune.
this combo was good for high 12's all day
base timing @14*

a stock 5.0 will go 12's with the right driver

$600 gears, $600 for nitrous kit, and $300 for sticky tires will have you knocking on 11s(till you blow something out )

If he's going to touch the heads, why not get a set of GT-40s?

Buy a stock '89 to '93 Mustang... install a turbo kit, 3.73 gears and slicks.
You'll run 11's until the tranny or axles break.
