boom50cal Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Buy a 5.0 and don't look back. A carb'ed 5.0 with some headwork and timing, plus a T5/3.73's is a hell of a lot of fun. Doesn't need a lot of power adders to be a fun to drive car. Even a simple 351 Windsor swap can scare the shit out of you. If it gets boring, swap a 4G63 Mitsu motor in it, and shit on all the Honda's (it's been done, several times. not much bigger than the Ford 2.3 4 banger) On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

Rev. Wrath Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 I've never heard anyone say RWD gets boring. If you get bored with it, just throw some slicks on and try to drive in the rain. That should keep it interesting haha. Fox bodys are awesome, but for my money, I would keep looking for an '87-'93. I just like that front end better.
Rockford96 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 I've never heard Rwd being boring either I miss my Rwd in my truck fwd sucks lol My setup, Digital Designs M80 3 Re audio 10's ported tuned to 36 hz Kenwood x-696 SHCA 0 gauge Polk audio coax running off hu
RyanJ Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 Hmm idk then. Maybe it's preference. They just tell me the feeling of a FWD car while driving (steering wheel, clutch, overall feel) is a more "rush" to the driver then a RWD. but knows. I'm looking for a 86-91 5.0 manual but most I see are over 100,000k. And I heard old engines are bad to work on if they've been worn. At this point, would an engine swap be better or ride it until it gives.

boom50cal Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Flog on it until it gives out. 5.0 parts are seriously cheap as hell. On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

79 cutty Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Love the Ford 5.0's, just never really been a fan of the fox body, or Mustangs in general! Lol Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking! You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.
