I couldn't find this in the FAQ's....What is the correct jacking point on the front of a 5.0? I've been jacking up on the front subframes, but the metal is surprisingly weak and gets dented from my jack. Thanks.

Either under the k member, or under an A arm if you can get by with only jacking up one side. You can also use the sway bar if you're careful. DO NOT use the oil pan (seems like common sense, but you'd be surprised how often it happens).
 
I use the K-member. I jack it up in the center and then put 2 jackstands under the K-member.

Out back, i go under the pumkin on the diff, jack it up and then put stands under rear subframe on on each side of axle.

I do NOT jack a mustang without subframe connectors from one side only at time. I've seen cars twist this way.
