Hello Everyone,
I recently got a good deal on a 75 Mustang II Ghia with a 5.0 automatic. I have liked Mustangs since I was a kid and always wanted a 5.0 Mustang. However, i have never deep dived into them. When I first saw my Mustang II for sale I didnt realize it was a Mustang. I thought it was a great looking opd school car I could work on with my boys. When I got closed and realized it was a Mustang with a 5.0...I immediately asked seller what he wanted and bought it on.
I am now learning about them before I start getting into it. I have learned that the 5.0 in it is not the most powerful of 5.0s. But when I look around for crate engines or performance mods for it...I dont seem to see much.
What makes this 5.0 so different than others? I want this to be a fun car with some power. Something I can ultimately build or drop a crate 5.0 in it and supercharge it. Have fun with my boys and take to track occasionally. Eventually the whole car will be restored but that will take years for completion.
I attached some pics of her. Help me understand the difference in th 5.0 on the II's gents.
Looking forward to learning about the IIs and you guys.
Thanks!
