I would stick with the 5.0 because it is a much better motor than the 351 windsor or clevland. Besides the 5.8 is way too big for the little foxbody.

The 351W's have more power, can handle more power, and has just as many aftermarket selections as a 5.0.2) How do you figure that a 5.8 is way too big for a fox? A 351W swap in a 5.0 is VERY common and have great success. I see people run 460's in foxes and have success.

I have a 351 on my sn95 and i think it's the best setup for you money. I use to have a 302 with the vortech supercharger,and i wasn't impressed with the numbers that i got, so i made my switch to a 351 with twin turbo kit running at low boost and i am very happy with the performance i get with that engine.

I'm pushing 515rwhp....Its all setup for road racing, the guys at my old job PDA performance driving school they install it for me,by suprise ( kinda like overhauling) they said i needed more power to keep up with their z06's. I dont really know all the stats on the engine, all i know is that it came froma wrecked 95 saleen. They swapped everything from engine to trans to rear and exhaust. God i love those guys!!! As soon as i know all the info i'll make sure to post them.

1) Why is a 5.0 a better motor than a 351W ???? The 351W's have more power, can handle more power, and has just as many aftermarket selections as a 5.0.
2) How do you figure that a 5.8 is way too big for a fox? A 351W swap in a 5.0 is VERY common and have great success. I see people run 460's in foxes and have success.
