I have a 1990 5.0 LX 5 speed thats in need of a new motor. I'm looking at a Jasper motor. What's everybody's opinion on them? I've installed several at work for people with no problem but the Mustang is more of a (ahem) high performance application. That's not to say I'm going to beat the heck out of it, but I will run it hard on occasion. So, do they hold up? My budget is $1500-$2000. Any other suggestions? I thought of buying a Ford shortblock and topping it with rebuilt heads, but I like Jasper's warranty. What's everybody think? Thanks.

It's nice to have a warranty but remember you will not be able to mod or you will VOID the warranty. If you want a stock daily driver with a warranty it is a good choice. If you think you might want to keep up with your buddy that has some mods, spend your money differently.

yeah you can rebuild the motor in the car for 2k, i did mine and it cose me 2500 but i got cam and injectors and stuff like that.

Just wondering, what do you think they would call mods? I mean, I have headers and might be adding a new intake at the time of the swap. I don't think I'll ever go into the motor though. The car's really just a daily driver.
