Default Buying Advice and Possible HP Estimates

Hey everyone I am going to go look at this Mustang on Monday and was just jopign to get some advice
it is 1994 5.0
Has the 5.0 High output motor, with manual transmisson.
Motor has been rebuilt and bored 30 over along with e303 cam,
75mm throttle body,
85mm mass air,
Edelbrock throttle body spacer,
BBK full cold air intake,
full MSD ignition, MSD distributor, MSD coil,
new plug wires, new plugs, new radiator and hoses, new water pump, new harmonic balancer, smog pump delete, egr delete, cat delete,
off road h pipe
40 series Flowmasters, Trans was rebuilt with Z Spec kit,
3:73 gears,
new stage 3 clutch,
and short throw shift handle.
Car is lower approx 1.5"-2".

asking 4,000 I used to have a 98 that was 300rwhp and had a foxbody that was about 260 so will I be disspointed with what this is putting out? any estimates does it sound like a good buy.

sounds like a good buy if it runs right

1994-1995 5.0's don't run well with mods due to the computers in them.

mods sound good, but with stock heads its not going that far. probably 240rwhp, and runninglow 14's/ high 13's at best

Hey guys thanks for the input I appreciate it. Sounds like I may be disappointed with the car's power. Which is what I was afraid of. Anyone else is more then welcome to chime in and give some advice

like I said if the car is in good shape, and runs good, go for it!

fun is only a head/cam/intake swap away

Thanks for the advice. Guess my biggest problem is the last two mustangs I have built I payed someone else to do because honestly mechanically I stink.
One of the cars after I soaked all the money into my mechanic wrecked.

The other one I had to sell to move should have kept it.

So I guess I am hoping to find one already built. Or a pick up a cobra.
