the 1986 5.0 engine did not have valve reliefs in the pistons, the seats are similar to the rest of the foxbodys, any year up to 04 will bolt in without a hitch.

its a speed density motor, so cam choice will have to be considered. overall the engine was a pig for a 5.0 the dash is completely different from the later years
