just picked up a 94 GT stang. its going to be my DD for a while. was just wanting to know the limits of the 5.0 HO in the 94 gt. What Rpm can you safley spin to(mine is a stick)? how much power can a stock motor take? how much power can the t-5 tranny take? just wanting to know the do's and donts pretty much. my ls1 is my stalled auto dig car, so i was wanting to make the mustang more of a roll car since its a 5 speed. can the stock 5.0 take a healthy shot of spray? perhaps a huge cam and nitrous might be on the list in the distant future, thanks.

5.0 85 GT

yea i have a 94 gt myself, stick too, it can handle about 50-75hp shot of juice, the t-5 is a good solid tranny absically bulletproff, i dump mine quite often, i spin to 5600 rpm, the car makes peak power about 45-4800 rpm's i belive, so its pointless to wind it out to 6200, btu id do it anbyways, adn th e5.0's are some of the best motors out there, they can handle a ton of bolt ons and a cam with minor tuning from a chip..hop that helps.. later

yea thanks. my gt is the exact same color as the one in your avatar. just making sure if i reved to 5500 it wouldnt blow on me. i thought the 5.0 could handle more spray but im glad i asked. thanks

you don't need a huge cam in a 94 but you need to wisely choose a combo for it

95 BLOWN GT

+1 these engines do not have forged internals and the 94 and 95 computer needs tuning for many mods. before the cam i suggest better heads,

gtpcoupe

oh so it was the earlier 87-88 GT's that had the forged 302's? yea i figured id get some better heads maybe the gt40 heads and better intake and cam. how good do the stock intake manifolds flow? what is the average RWHP a NA 302 will make when built right?

gtpcoupe

another Q. are these 302's Pushrod motors? what size rear end does my 94 gt have, what gears do i have and how much power can the rear end take?

Mustangkiler

they are pushrod old school engines 8.8 rear and the gear size is probably 3.08 it shoudl say on ya door or axle tag thats how i found out.

gtpcoupe

i apreciate it man, thanks

85-92 had forged pistons
