I bought a used 5.0 (302) out of a 17000mi, Rolled 91 Mustang. I didn't trust the mileage figure given so I stripped the motor down to the bare block and started out fresh. New cam, rod and main bearings, had the bores checked (they were perfect) checked the pistons, rods and crank and were all as new, so I re-used those. Put in a new roller cam, had the heads done (port matched and polished) ditched the fuel injection and called it good. HP should be 250-275ish. Not great, but should still be fun and this car will do alot of Auto X and on the small parking lots we use in our area you cant really put down all that much power anyway. Not that I wouldn't like to have it. I am in Palmer Alaska (40 mi N of Anchorage) so FE engines are not quite so plentiful as maybe they are down there. Anyway, I have room for Improvement! Darin

Alaska was awsome last summer!!! Was there in mid july, had a great time! That HP range will serve you well. When you outgrow it, if you do...You can throw on a set of Webers for another nice boost of power. You have an awsome state for a cobra!... in the Summer

Were you here on vacation or work related? And yes, Summers are great, daylight at 1am, winters are not so great. I look forward to eventually living someplace where its not cold 7 months out of the year!  |

Will Do! That was one of my favorite spots, the glacier walk was a long awaited dream fulfilled. Simply awsome! Archangel valley was also one of our fav's. It may be another year or two before we both have the time but we want to fly into a remote cabin for a few days & put some more miles on hopefully get more than a week next time.
