RE: HO or not?
The only way it would be a 5.0HO is if it was a police interceptor crown vic.. other then that.. no.. no civilian crown vics came with a 5.0 HO.... if the upper intake doesnt say HO.. then it's not a HO.

RE: HO or not?
this motor was supposedly a police interceptor...but i have n actual way of knowing. the guy i got it from said it was and i needed a motor fast so i took it cuz he pretty much gave it to me cuz ive known him for a while and hes a chevy guy so he had no use for it. well when i got it there was no upper intake, he said his brother or something wanted it. it made no difference to me since i was going carb. now i have it set in and i need to know which order the plug wires go. so there lies the dillemma, thats y i need to know im so close to having my stang back i can smell the rubber burning
