I want to put another 5.0 and a auto for drag racing but I dont know where to start. the yards here are full of fords and L.M. if anybody can steer me in the right direction and give me some tips(especially you racers ) id be gratefull. thanks BOB

You're in the wrong forum. Go here: Fox Engine Swaparoo - Mustang Forums at StangNet and ask away.

Your 84 is a fox (Ford's code for 79-93 Mustangs), aka a four-eye(4 headlights). Good luck.

Don't go there, unless you want me to move it to the correct forum, 5.0 Tech.

In 84-85 the fox came with a small rear end. In 85 they started with roller motors. In 86 they got fuel injection, in 87 they got slightly better intakes/heads/throttle bodies/brakes/etc, and after 88 they got mass air flow. The stock blocks are generally worth 400hp as a rule of thumb. I've heard of guys getting more.

I'd do a mark 8 drivetrain swap....but that's just me

Some guys use C4s for racing autos, however if I put an auto in mine, it'd be a TH400, or possibly even a powerglide.

I don't understand the question in your title.

Good luck.

hey man, if it was me, id

browse the classifieds, find a 302,306, etc. etc. maybe finda banger t5(wont last long, but itll give you some time to save some green) and you got a higher gear, then finda 4.10 gear. and really after that you need a set of control arms to do any racing.
then get the details worked out, t/b, maf(or carb) cam, clutch, getcha a set of shorties,
i built my 92 on maybe 2500 buckaroos. including the orig cost of the car 1000. and ran low 8's in the 1/8
