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.
its still a good plan.. but bring the heads to get them checked for deck surface straightness... i cant stress it enough. I have seen heads come off motors that were perfectly fine... running in A-ok condition... then cause nothing but problems on the next motor they were installed on. when the heads were removed for testing, it was found that they were warped. The heads warped when they were unbolted from the motor. Get them checked... its cheap insurance!
