I was wondering what the difference was between the 89-93 5.0's and 94-95 5.0's? I know the difference in style and what not, but what about the engines. I was just asking because I've heard that some fox body 5.0's, mainly the notches can run mid to low 14's almost as quick as the 99-04 GT's. Why cant the 94-95's run the same?
Thanks

For one 94-94's are a lot heavier, plus I believe the engine has a few restrictions on it. For instance the airflow on my 95 was low enough to choke a daewoo b4 I put in a CAI.

I think weight is the big difference in 1/4 times.

Key word being BIG

Low_5.0

94-95 has 10 more hp and the car is 300lbs heavier! I still like mine though

Actually many notches can run high to mid 13s from what I have seen, better times than most newer (99+) GTs. Most will however run a low 14 though when driven pretty well. I have seen a couple stock GT hatchbacks run low 14s and they are quite a bit heavier than notches. All of the cars have been sticks though.

Like others have said its mainly due to the wieght of the SN95 body style.

didnt the 94-95 cars have 10 less?

Well ford said they changed the way they dynoed their cars but I believe in reality the foxs had 10 more. Yeah the weight was different and also from 93^ they changed the internals from forged to hyperuetic, however the hell thats spelt.
