    molding

    I just bought a 1990 5.0 Coupe about 2 months ago and had a question about the molding. There are some scuffs and various places on the black moldings that wrap around the car. Does anyone know if there is a way to sand these moldings? I'm going to get it painted soon and will be painting...

    5.0 block

    I'm in NC. No reason it has to be new really other than knowing it most likely won't be cracked and things like that. Plus I haven't been able to find a block around here for some reason. Nothing on craigslist so far. Well I have found a few on craigslist but it looks like they were sitting...

    5.0 block

    Is it still possible to buy a 5.0 block brand new online? A few years ago it seems like I seen some places selling them for around $500. Right now the only thing I have found is the 4.6 block.... If anyone knows somewhere online let me know. I'd rather build another engine instead of having...

    bypass heater core?

    Ok thanks. I haven't seen any fluid come out from the dash. I'm just assuming it is going bad because I was letting the car idle the other day for a while and I started to see smoke coming from the defrost vents. Didn't really smell anything that I don't remember.... From what I have read when...

    Can someone describe how to bypass the heater core? I noticed smoke coming from my defrost vents today while I was letting it idle. I'm certain that is what it is.. I don't really plan on driving it in the winter anyway.

    5.0 engine...

    Trying to get back in the loop after all these years of being away from stangs.. I'm picking up a 1990 5.0 Coupe tomorrow. It's in awesome shape for its age and I will be repainting it, etc. I'd like to give the engine a refresh but nothing to serious. What are some things I could do with...

    5.0 Coupe

    Just thought I would share a pic of a 1990 Coupe 5.0, 5 speed I am picking up tomorrow. I checked out the VIN and it is a real 5.0 coupe not a conversion. It is all original except for lowering springs,king cobra clutch and flow's. Can't wait to dig into it and get it looking sharp....
