    93 Mustang 5.0 Auto

    Ya the 1-D-1 shuffle is bad for the tranny. I tested it at the track on 2 of my AOD cars and it didn't make it quicker either. My 89 AOD was a little sloppy but the one in my 93 GT shifter firm but had low miles on it when I bought it.

    428 or 429

    I had a '69 Mach 1 with a 428 SCJ, they are expensive motors and VERY heavy. Personally I'd just build a stroker 351 maybe a 408. If you are dead set on a big block, you can find a 390 and stroke that as the 428 are hard to find for a decent price. FYI the new owner of my '69 dynoed the 428...

    8.4 MPG????

    I NEVER had that bad of mileage and have had a pile of 5.0 Mustangs LOL. Clean MAF..change fuel filter..plugs/wires/etc...thats horrible IDK!!! My 93 LX when it still had the 331 stroker with the S-Trim and was driven hard still got better than that haha

    street car which intake...holley systemax...trickflow track heat..or my gt40 ported?

    Holley intake, I had one on my 331 and it worked great even NA with 8.5:1 compression when the Procharger was dead! I made a quick tune with the PMS and ran the car with 42lbers NA and it still ran hard. I had TFS heads ported by Fox Lake with just a TFS Stage 1 cam, 13lbs with the...

    thinking about a turbo ;)

    To a certain extent, but you can make good power on a budget too. Throwing $$ at a car doesn't make it fast, having the right parts working together does. My friend ran 10.81@126.7 with a stock 93 bottom end, heads/cam/intake with a small Powerdyne in a 93 LX. Back at the time it was faster...

    93 Mustang 5.0 Auto

    A low mile AOD will shift firmer but none of them stock shift real hard. My 93 GT had 57k miles on it though all stock and would break loose into 2nd gear with 3.27 gears. That AOD was a nice shifting tranny, the other AOD cars I've had shifted slower. Make sure OD works ok and that there is no...

    Quick 351 question

    Maybe with carb they have issues?? IDK seems strange to me. I have never heard of such issues but I only really mess with EFI. Rick used to build my fathers circle track 302's.

    Quick 351 question

    LOL, no batch fire on the 5.0 HO although the trucks do have it in the non-HO 302.

    Quick 351 question

    The camshaft has more to due with street-ability than the engine size. Technically you can run a larger cam with a bigger engine anyways. I have seen 408 cars at the track that were driven there and clicked off 10 second NA passes!

    Quick 351 question

    They are sequential so they fire one at a time. And anytime!

    1990 5.0 HO engine COMPLETE with acces., tb, headers,etc!

    Thanks...I was going to just clean it up and make it look like new and have it as a nice garage decoration LOL. But I could use $$ right now.

    Quick 351 question

    Yep, intake manfold is different, headers are different, accessory brackets are different as well. http://www.mustangforums.com/forum/351-mustang/104426-5-8-conversion.html

    what should i do for 100% street driven suspension?

    SSP as well came with those....and I think the 94 up came from them as well. I'd have to look up the part #. I am thinking about taking my BBK uppers out eventually and going with FRPP ones.

    i want this stang..

    Looks good, pics are hard to judge a car by though. My friend got a silver 90 GT that looked killer in pics but the farther he dug into it the worse it is.

    1990 5.0 HO engine COMPLETE with acces., tb, headers,etc!

    115k if I remember correctly I will have to look through the pics of the gauge cluster before I sold it. I was going to save it for a spare for my car but I need the $$. Like most it could use a new oil pan probably and a rear main seal..all of which is easy. I have a new pan, gasket and oil...

    1990 5.0 HO engine COMPLETE with acces., tb, headers,etc!

    I have a complete 5.0 motor from a '90 GT parts car I had. It is 100% stock and complete. I took it out with all the wiring still on it, motor mounts, all accessories, stock heads, I even have the stock MAF and inlet hose! This motor was NEVER abused and still has the OEM plug wires on it with...
