RE: 1980 5.0l Mustang engine question
some knows what there talking about on here now n then, i was wonder how long this would go before some one would say there was no 5.0 in 80 -81.
i have a 80 motor, there not horrible but they are made for economy, 120hp 2brrl. everything 302 fits them. once u change the heads and intake and add a 4barrel i think it might be alot closer to 200hp, but im not spending all that time on mine, im just keeping it incase

If your talking about a stock 80 mustang V8 it was a 255 not a 302/5.0 the 255 is junk.
