i found a 1989 5.0 gt for sale
guy wants $2990
car has 183,xxx with a 30k 5.0 in it
(doubt the guy did the swap himself)
he says coolant leaks from a a line but other wise is good
im worried about the swap having been done inncorectly/half-as**d

this would be my first 5.0

would you guys say i should persue this?

how would i tell if the swap was done properly or not?

Id pressure test the cooling system to find out exactly where its leaking from.
Since its an original 5.0 car I wouldnt worry too much about it being a hacked swap.

Looks like a good deal...

go for it

just be sure to look for the flaws, rust, wear and tearthat foxbodys have when they get that old/kind of mileage
