Default 5.0 power and ECU Options

I'm new to the mustang world so I have about a thousand questions but lets start with a few major ones.

What ECU Options are there?

What SuperCharger Options are there?

What are some reasonable aluminum head options?

What can I expect to pay for an aluminum block, and are there issues with them?


Thanks

Thanks for the sarcasm primetime. It speeks volumes.


Rice Patrol I did a search and it returns a crazy amount of stuff to sift through. I was hoping for a quick answer off the top of someones head and maybe some links.

I'll dig through it.

theres only a few ecu options, either an A9l for 5spd only or an A9p for auto or standard, both found in 89-93 cars and some 88's, or a stand a lone management system.

Vortec, Paxton,Procharger, Powerdyne, Kenne Bell all make good blowers. Dont forget about turbo's as well

Canfield, Trick Flow, AFR, Brodix,Holley, Edelbrock make good heads

I remember my mechanic having an aluminum Dart block that costs him like 3k.....


Happy?

Also www.summitracing.com has all kinds of parts for 5.0L engines
