Especially true if you had a Mustang, cause it could not handle.
I happened upon Car Craft November 2007 Budget engines
Ford 302 OEM block crank heads, after market intake carb headers279 HP and 341 ft lbs. for $2000 bucks
The Chevy OEM iron block, crank, heads made 383 HP and 439 ft - lbs.
for $1950
So please stop pretending the 5.0 was a good engine. The Windsor had the worst heads of any merican V8 ever, even the Pontiac 301. The 302 was tinny in every way and 331 cid was the max steetable size. The best thing you can do with a Fox body is to shove a LS into it, everybody knows that.
