RE: Need New Engine
another mustang is about the only thing i know of with a HO 5.0. Theres plenty of cars and trucks with 5.0's and 5.8's though. What are you looking for? A fully running motor to just drop in, or a core to rebuild? You can use the bottom end off any 5.0 I think, you might have to buy a roller kit for it though. Or you can go the 351 swap way.

well, just a decent running 302 to drop in. probably a 85-95 h.o or out of a cougar or crown vic, because at the moment im as poor as a church mouse who just had an enourmous tax bill on the very day his wife ran off taking all the cheese.

RE: Need New Engine
check the classifieds here, and then start searching ur local junkyards and trading magazines. I'd try to get one out of a mustang so you know its an H.O. i dont think they put them in the cougars and crown vics, maybe the police version crown vics had them? and you dont want anything newer than 86 if your not fuel injected. unless ur gonna take the intake and all apart and put yours on it, that would work
