Buying a 5.0
Hey everyone, I just joined theses forums and I am looking to buy a nice 1989 or 1990 5spd GT. I was wondering if you guys could help me out. So far my goal is just pretty low 14's at first. I was wondering what type of mods I would have to do in order to achieve this 1/4 time. So far as mods go I was thinking:</P>
BBK 70mm TB, BBK High Flow H-Pipes, BBK Cold Air Intake, Flowmaster Exhaust, 28oz. Flywheel, MSD Ignition, Headers, Short Shifter, Chip, Underdrive Pulleys, 3.55 Rear End, and Goodyear Eagle F1 255/45/16 tires.</P>
Will the mod list I am thinking of get me a pretty low 14's in the 1/4? Also what type of headersdo you recommend. Also how much would it cost to convert to rear disc brakes instead of drums. Thanks for your help.</P>

88 is going to have speed-density instead of mass air.
I believe that most of the fox 5.0's from 89-93 had fairly similar engines. Was it 93 that they switched to hypereutectic pistons?
Anyway, go for an 89-92.

86 had a seriously weak engine for a 5.0, not as bad as the carb'd ones though</P>
Hatch is the way to go imo, notches are just plain ugly to me (stock that is)</P>
Im in the market too, **** prices are gonna go up with all these ppl wanting them all of a sudden</P>
