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.
Well I also own 2 5.0s, ButI still think my SHO Motor looks a lot better than any 5.0 motor. Much more exotic than the 5.0 engine. It wasnt a question of which was a better motor, it was which "looks" better. I have both and I know which one is better <IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"> but not in apearance<edited><editID>T5superduty</editID><editDate>37886.8323611111</editDate></edited>
K.I.S.S. the SHO looks complicated and over engineered with tomany extra parts. Looks like about 85 screwes&bolts and 9 or 10 rubber parts jsut to get the fuel rail/intake off.</P>
I like the simple clean look of the 5.0 myself. Looks like I can even top off the oil without a funnel. Ohh look at that looks like the intake and TB come off as one assembly!</P>
That's just my .02 I'd rather have something I can service than 200 extra parts to break on an engine missing 2 pistons.</P>
