ORIGINAL: my 1st 5.0

yea tru, i was thinking about carfax but its like 20 bucks and i dnt feel like paying for it,lol but ill see maybe ill figure out something ill probly get it to mess around i mean its an auto so i cant really drag with it but if i get it i wana restore it ill keep the front and the rear because i like the way it looks and ill probly get the tranny changed to manual and slap new headers and clean out the exaust kuz it already has flowmasters on it
first off, an auto is better for drag racing then a stick. i personaly perfer a stick but i think if i was gonna build an all out drag car it would be an auto deffanitly. 2nd, just look for an 87-93 mustang lx if you like that nose better, the 86's had true flat top pistons wich makes aftermarket head selection very sparse... and by sparse i mean there is only 2 heads that fit on the motor.. the stock crappy E6 heads and trick flow twisted wedge wich are over $1000 bucks. 3rd, if you want a car that is easier to mod look for a 89-93. they have mass-air-flow and you can do a cam swpa and not really have to worry about driveability issues. Just my .02 cents.

LX's came with 5.0's. Mines an LX with a 5.0.

By the looks of the question youre thinking only GT's had the 5.0 and that LX's had a smaller motor.

+1, the tail lights were different though, and the gt did use the lx style spoiler too.. i think it was got years 85+86.. not posative though..plus.. if you really want a 86 then get one with the 4-eye nose on it...they are reallllll sexy too..... see \/\/\/\/ (look in sig.)
