5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
it should be fine, make sure you have it dyno tuned though and keep the tuning on it conservative, like under 8-10psi and it will do fine.. With hyper pistons, you get some detonation or go lean for to long and you'll crack or melt a piston, and thats even more possible with hyper pistons.
Ok right now i have a 94 GT 5.0, and im thinking about buying a crate gt40 motor and a vortec super charger in it, ive got several opinions and ppl have told me that all that stock should put my car in the 450-465rwhp range, any of you guys done this?
dude this is EXACTLY what my future plans for my car are, nice choice!!!!!! I say do it 100% you just have to make sure you get a trans (and maybe a rearend) that will handle all the power. I'd say go with a built up AOD trans simply because with that much power and an AOD you can make some NICE numbers at the track. As for the motor being able to hold any boost I have no idea what it can handle, we can work together on finding this info out because what you find out also helps me too! Keep in touch for sure.
