He's saying it's a 302 (5.0) with 225 HP. I would quess 225 HP also concidering the late foxes are rated 225, so I figure they wouldn't have deopped in power through the SN95 style.

what do you mean without a serpentine belt?? i always thought the 1988-1993 5.0 motors had a little bit more than the 1994-1995 motors.. even if they dont we have the weight that is a factor..

YOU ALL ARE FORGETTING THAT I AM THE SLUG OF YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrrggghhhhhh. Yes the 1993 5.0 has the lowest HP of all the 5.0s

Ford decided in their last year to ditch the forged pistons for hypereutectic aluminum pistons. Not saying these are bad pistons, but they tend to go south quicker with more power added than 1992 and earlier.

So to add to the correction...the 1993 5.0 GTs have 205 hp stock.
