Reply to "Mangusta engine build up info"

Dave, I used to get 5.0 Mustang magazine. They did a lot of what they call "resto-mod mustangs and they were always dropping in FI 5.0 motors. They even make a FI body now that looks like a holley carb under an air cleaner. So you get the looks of concourse correct, with the convience and drivability, and good fuel milage of the tried and true 5.0. I bought a 90 Mustang LX 5.0. Only car I ever ordered the way I wanted it from the factory. My son has it now. Over 200K miles on it and the heads have never been off, doesn't burn a drop of oil, and is still a little torque monster. They make all kinds of hop up parts that are dirt cheap, and even the factory offers complete long blocks for less money than some bare blocks. Cheap, reliable, durable, convenient, powerfull, what's not to like?? I vote for the 5.0. But then again, I am openly prejudiced by 16 years of faithfull service. Wink
