Hello, Brand new member. Not a noob to forums though. I didn't see a thread that was helping me out so I figured I'd start my own.
I have a 86 f-150 with a 5.0 in it. I don't know a crap ton about it, because I used to be a import guy (don't shoot me).
I can't, for the life of me, find out what happened in 1987 to the 5.0 engine. I have an 86, but it's fuel injected, most were carberated, I either cracked the heads or cracked the block or blew the head gasket, I'm a college kid and haven't had time to go home and tear it apart to find out. I've just come across a pair of 1989 heads off of a mustang for a real good deal. I wouldn't mind being able to through these on when I go home.
the important part
What changed in 1987 that would prevent me from using these? What kind of heads COULD I put on, since finding an 86 with f/i seems impossible. I had a buddy say the compression changed. Talk to me like I'm dumb because I don't understand complex things. Thanks a TON!!! Sooner the response the better.
