End up trading the 5.0 for it?

 

Yeah it was the best for both parties. I loved the idea behind this car and what it was and the mustang was too nice to drive.... or at least it was to me after I got the body/paint work done.

Man, she needs a turbo blanket

 

I know thats on my list. I dont care for the intercooler intake wrap. I am gonna get a blanket for it and then proly have the intake powder coated with the other stuff that I am gonna do. Though I may rock it till this winter when I pull the motor....

In related news, I am in the market for something to make this n/a 5.0 at least as fast as my V6 DD.

 

How much spray can a 110k+ 89 5.0 take?

 

depends on how/where you spray it.....

 

 

they make a pretty neat plate kit that sandwiches in between the upper and the lower that will do 200 or so....

 

if you run the plate that goes between the tb and the upper 100ish is the limit

I wouldn't touch that motor till it blows up or gives you a reason to pull it. That thing has been a good motor.

yeah Ill be rocking it all summer (or till it blows) The only reason for me to pull it really was to re loom the loose wires and make it cleaner. I have that extra shortblock sitting on the stand in the garage I am going to check the bearings on it and just have it waiting for this block to split
