Whats going on fellas...
I post in the 4.6 section all the time, and would have been here a long time ago as I almost bought a 5.0 Mustang a couple of times, but the deals ended up falling through...
Anyway, I was just given a running non-roller 5.0 that was a CFI motor in an '85 (IIRC) Mustang. No accessories, but it has the oil pan and I scored some valve covers for it. No intake, carb, exhaust, nothing... but this will be my first time tearing into an engine and I am really exited about it...
I am planning on a basic rebuild, probaly nothing extreme at all. The idea now is probaly .030 over, or whatever it will take to clean up, re-use the crank if possible, new rods/pistons/rings/bearings and MAYBE if I can score a set of GT-40 or GT-40P heads (and freshen them up), aswell as a new cam and lifters.
I don't have a home for this thing, so it will be a over-time rebuild, but I am looking into kits that will allow me to swap it into my Jeep Cherokee.
So get used to me, I am sure I will be blowing the board up when I start wrenching on it, lol.
