87-95 Mustang / Mark VII
Higher-flowing E7TE heads
Higher-lift HO cam (performance/econony)
TRW forged pistons with reliefs
60mm throttle body stock
19 lb/hr fuel injectors
Better breathing upper intake
Factory unequal-length headers
HO/351 W firing order
225 hp

That's what I found...

Uh'... If so, that means all Stangs with V8's from 82-95 are HO's? Yet the roller motor was introduced untill 87'.

The 5.0 in the Z28s is a 305. It's a reliable littly chebby but they don't make **** for power. Most 'maro owners find themselves swapping in a 350 TPI and dumping the 305. It's best used as a boat anchor.
