if i were to get an ho would it bolt up to my c4, or would i need to get a new flywheel or something?

 

thunderbird from late 80's early 90's had a 5.0 HO

 

You'll need an aftermarket flexplate to bolt 5.0 H.O. to your '70 C-4...........

 

FYI getting a motor from a stang in the junk yard means your probably getting something that was beat on. finding them in regular passenger cars are a much better bet, or an exploder

 

Check craigslist, they are all over teh place around here

 

I'm with the other guys on this. If you get a 5.0 out of anything but a mustang/t-bird it will probably be a non-H.O which is about 180 crank HP max(bleh). Some good advice I heard people mention is look for a car that's been in some sort of accident. Chances are that the engine was running fine when it got hit.

 

I'll be putting an HO block standard bore, just machined/prepped,stock crank just turned 10/10 on mains, and factory forged pistons and cam for sale in about a week if that helps...
