SpectralSamurai said:Here's a question though, if the 5.0 block produces 225 HP and 235 ft/lbs tq (IIRC for the 87-89 fox at least), why would it matter so much if you mated a modded 2.3 turbo to it? WIth basically light modification you can get it to 250 HP and roughly the same torque, and at that point you already outdo the stock 5.0, so why would it matter so much? Or maybe it has to do with when the max HP/tq is reached?

Mustang5L5 said:5.0's make 225HP and 300 ft-lb of Torque
The 85.5-89 5-spd tranny from the V8 Mustangs is only rated at 275 ft-lbs of torque. SO Ford from the factory put a tranny in that was rated less than what the engine actually made.

Mustang5L5 said:'93 is a weird year. Ford changed their rating system. The 5.0 is NOT 205HP. It's slightly underrated. Some '93 owners have dynoed their cars and seen about 220-225HP flywheel. My '85 is rated at 210HP and 275TQ, but she's getting bumped up in power
Holy old thread. Please don't post in caps. Thank You
