Ok so the 88 I bought has a non HO bottom long block. I checked by switching to HO firing and didnt run so well. It has the 88 oem headers, "HO" is cast under the "normal 5.0 HO" plate so I should have "HO" intake? Orange injectors (HO?), EMS is EEC-IV when I removed kick panel. It seems to run...

Ok so I pulled off the plate on the intake that said "5.0 EFI" the plate doesn't say "HO" but "HO" is cast on the intake manifold under the plate...so I have a HO intake manifold? this engine is kinda confusing me cause it runs with the non HO firing order... but has the orange "HO" injectors...

Where is the computer at so I can check what ecu it has? If its running the speed density ecu should I switch the firing order to "HO" 13726548?

I do I tell if its HO from a lincoln? It seems most thing point to non HO since the it has the non HO firing order? Non HO aluminum valve covers? only thing I see saying its HO is the Orange injectors?

Ok I just got a 88GT and noticed the intake didnt say "HO" instead it just says "5.0 EFI" which I didnt know if speed density cars said "HO" or not like my 95 does...So I did more looking and it has wierd firing order "15426378", it has orange top fuel injectors and I noticed on of the engine...

ok kool I figured it was normal..to me it sounds like a motorcycle cooling down after being rode hard. Ive never owned a v8 car that had cats on it so I wasnt sure if is because of cats and maybe the factory "tube" manifolds/headers...

I have magnflows welded in place of stock mufflers and still have factory H pipe on a all stock 5.0...pretty quiet..corvette quiet with a performance tone and no raspy sound. Ive had them on for about 2 years and still quiet

Is it normal for our cars with stock H pipe to make nosie after shutting the car off? It sounds like its coming from the cats under the floor boards...like a "tick tick tick" noise...is that just the the heat shield and cat cooling down at different rates? I dont think the cats are clogged as...
