05 mustang v8 isnt a 32 valve, its a 24 valve (3per cyl.)
dont ever trade a v8 for a 6 banger, ever. girls dont know the difference but car people do and its a sad thing to drive a mustang with less then a v8

 

I would never trade my 68 fastback for nothing, but don't knock the new v6. I've drove one and it could smoke my 289. Maybe not quite the torque, but still stronger than mine.
Don't get me wrong though, I would rather have my 289 over a new v6 anyday.

 

i dont car if its faster. there are 4 bangers that will smoke an old 289. its just not the same.
i guess its just a pride (v8) thing

 

Yeah, I agree. A V-8 has a sound of its own that a 6 or a 4 can't achieve. Something else I really love about the old ones is the smell. I may be odd though.

 

never sell the classic!!!!!!!!!! my uncle had a 68 shelby gt350 he sold in 1980 for a song, he kicks himself daily. My mom had a 1965 Vette convert that she sold in 1975 for 800 bucks. My other uncle had a 69 SS Camaro....you guessed it SOLD! My dad however (thank god) kept his 69 Mach 1 (that he got off some jackass in the early 80's who is kicking himself at this very moment no doubt) and i am slowly restoring it. Dont join the long line of people who regret their mistakes! Keep the classic! the new mustangs are a dime a dozen

 

Thanks, Thats what i needed to hear, who cares if its not as fast as a new ones, its just a classic thing! I would rather give up the features of a new car then have a car that everyone else has!

 

it could be as fast as the new ones, its just what you put into it. i bet a 302 or 351 with even mild upgrades would be faster than the 6er.

 

yeah i have edlebrock manifold, holly 570 cfm carb, im thinking of the crate 302 from ford racing with 340 hp....what u think?

 

im thinking YES.
