im looking at a couple years, 87, 88, 89 and 93's. but im not to sure is there anything i need to know bout any of thoes year, like problems or drive train!

 

Just skip those years and buy my 96 GT. There basically the same vs. options.

 

Barely the same. The 5.0 will actually respond to mods & won't be restricted to being a 230rwhp turd for the duration of it's life without a head/cam swap + a tune which would total out to be double that of a similar swap on a 5.0.

Oldskool, the car is going to be old and more than likely driven hard more times than you would want to know. It'll suffer typical Ford issues, TOB's, need to be gentle with the tranny, typical Ford stuff like I said.

 

dont get a 93 unless you have to. 93 5.0's were rated at 205bhp where as the rest of the aero 5.0's were rated at 225bhp

not too much of a big deal, but if you have the option, id definitely choose another year than 93.

 

The engine is the same. The only difference was Ford's decision to list the minimum HP of their sample versus the average.

 

there were a couple differences in years...

86-88 used speed density instead of mass air wich does not respond to cam changes well...but were the fastest n/a

87-93 used mass air wich used a meter to read the incoming air instead of the map sensor..really easy to modify and very inexpensive to go fast if you choose the right combo..

and as for 93 the big differnce in the motor was that they used hyper pistons..wich people frown apon for power adders.. i myself have (2) 93 mustangs.one running 10.0s on a stock 93 bottom end motor

 

Fixed. Don't buy a Stang unless it's 88-93 or 99+ or has a carb.
