New Five-oh badges

[cjrpony]

I hate to say it, but the new crop of people buying an '11 5.0 Mustang prob won't give a crap about the old 5.0's. You might get an enthusiast here and there who had some 5.0s..but most of the owners are gonna be older people who had one in the 60's and want a new one with power....and then the will proceed to talk crap about any Mustang made after 1973 and before 2011.

Yeah, but if not for the sucess and popularity of the 5.0 87-93 Mustang, there would be no 2011 Mustang or they would be front wheel drive. Remember the Probe was supposed to replace the Mustang before someone at Ford grew a brain. I believe there would be no Mustang, Camaro, Charger, Challenger or maybe even Vette now had that happened. It think Camaro would have went front drive also and Detroit would never return to "Muscle cars". IMHO

those badges are nice, I'm sure they'll turn up on the foxes sooner or later

and on a side note, they have really only been 4.9L since inception in '68!!!)

You do realize that it is closer to 5.0 than 4.9 right?

 

[Mustang5L5]

I wonder how big they are? All the 2005+ emblems have been 2X the size of previous emblems because the cars are boats

Did anyone else notice that the price of the new 5.0 badges on LRS was $0.00? i'd say its worth the $14.00 shipping for some free badges!

 

[Mustang5L5]

Yeah but that's only because Ford hasn't released pricing.

Something tells me it will be $30 per emblem.


When LRS has them, i'm gonna call my local ford dealer and see if i can order a pair. Even if they are too big for the Fox, i'll stick em on something around here.

I guess the question is WHO on this board is gonna be the first with a pair (pics for proof)

How about someone putting the actual '11 5.0 engine into a Fox. That's the omly way the newer badges will look right on a Fox.

LRS now has the new "5.0" emblems for sale $14.99 each. Thinking of getting some, not sure how they would look on my car though.

2011 Mustang 5.0 Rh Fender Emblem by Ford at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

 

[Mustang5L5]

I ordered one. I kinda think they are too big for the fox...but I would like one for my wall of emblems

 

[Onefine88]

The new 5.0 badges have been for sale on Ebay for some time now.
$31.95 plus shipping.

I like my fox cars Badgeless.

 

[Mustang5L5]

These things are kinda big.

Won't be putting them on my car...but cool to have.

BTW there are mounting posts on the back, and they are side specific. However, for a fox if you break the tabs off it won't matter and you can get two rights or lefts.

1968-1995 5.0L = 302ci = 4943cc, technically 4.9
2011 5.0L = 302.2ci = 4952, can be rounded legitimately to 5.0

 

[90lxcoupe]

I saw a pic somewhere of one on a fox and it looked out of place, it was way too big

This is just a guess but i'm pretty sure "five oh" has been a police nickname for longer than Ford has been using the 5.0 designation (which goes back to what, '82?). The show Hawaii Five O ran from 1968 to 1980, so in fact the show was off the air even before Ford used the 5.0 designation.

Taken from Wikipedia:

1968-1995 5.0L = 302ci = 4943cc, technically 4.9
2011 5.0L = 302.2ci = 4952, can be rounded legitimately to 5.0

To add to that, if you do the math (pi*r^2*S*8), the pushrod engine comes out closer to 301.59264 ci, which is roughly 4.942218 liters. Which is, well, beating a dead horse. It's a 4.9L.

Ford made a marketing decision to call the 302 "5.0" because it sounded better than "4.9", and because Ford also made a 4.9L inline 6. They also decided to call it a 5.0L because the metric system was "new", and the Fox cars were starting to integrate metric specifications, so it made more sense to go with a liter designation than a cubic inch designation.

I think I like these badges the best:

[Mustang5L5]

Actually. I don't think it looks half bad on that 4 eye.

 

[SlammedGT]

I dunno, I think these are the win

 

[Mustang5L5]

I dunno, I think these are the win

Why does it look like the 2 is lower than the 3

 

[QUICK91LX]

Haha I had those 2.3 badges on a 2.3 turbo swapped '88 LX that I used to have
