Kool_Dude_0069 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 i just joined this site , think its pretty kool so far . I'm fixin to start my 3rd 5.0 swap. 1st was an 85 flatty when the engine locked down at 115,000, prices on a replace ment were ridiculas and always been a ford man so i had lots of mustang parts. headers are the biggets problem ive had , (hope some one reads this and solves the problem) 2nd was an 87 tsi that my brother bought and brought back to life, but after a cpl heads and several turbo's he bought an 89 5.0 ho auto car and we swapped every thing over. im not happy with the headers or radiator on it..but its a pretty nice ride and verry strong..we just bought 2 more conquest a black 89 shp and a silver 87 tsi which is crunched in the rear and will need at least one quarter ,but not ready to scrap it just yet who knows?as of now the current project is gonna get a rack n pinion conversion too and if i can swing it i may use a coil over and complete mustang front suspension too the brakes would be a major upgrade, just getting the geometry right on the new cradle will be the trick...any help or information on this will be greatly appreceiated . As i will be glad to help anyone with info that i have learned...ive always loved these cars and am glad to be a part of comunity of people who appreceiate them any verry happy to see that there are others who found a new home for the dependable 5.0 that pumps blue blood through my veins lol......Will post more pic's as project continues ....P.S how do i post pic's here?lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
