5.0

[SteedSam]

I'm dropping a 89 5.0L in my 94 Stang. What are the normal breakdowns on a 5.0L? I head of heater core, water pump. Around how many klicks do they break down. And is it a reliable engine overall?

The 5.0 is one of the most reliable engines Ford has ever built next to the 300-6.

It's a swap. Take one out, put the other in, of course in the reverse order that you took it out.

Make sure that you label all the lines you disconnect so you know what each one hooks back up to. They can start to get confusing after while.

A Haynes or Chiltons will probably help out tremendously. They have more answers than you have questions.

5.0s are "tuff stuff". although, i wouldnt be putting that engine in the 94. the pain, sweat, blood, and anger along with the expenses are not worth it IMO. if yours changing out, change for the better. 351W

I'm going from 3.8L to 5.0L. And I got a realy good deal on a 89 5.0L with 100 000 miles on it. (250$). So I jumped at the oppertunity.
