Bought my first 5.0

I just bought a 89 LX 5.0 5spd. Notchback I guess from what I've read in the last week or so (it's trunk not hatch). It is in very good condition and I was very impressed by the power during the test drive.

Currently its running 373 gears, F303 cam, 2.5" pipes no cats, oversized pulleys, lowered 2", not exactly sure what else or what all of this means. I'll have more details when I get the car. Obsessed with the stang already and I don't even get to pick it up until Weds next week :(

It's definitely going to take some getting used to because the most powerful rwd car I've driven is my bros 240sx which is currently pushing around 200rwhp with his current setup.

So, this is my first stang and any pointers or advice in general would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and the car is the factory light green....ew! That can be fixed easily though. :D

Must be underdrive pulleys !

Congrats for the new ride ! :nice:

Oversized pullies are underdrive pullies they are oversized(bigger) so they Underdrive(spin slower) the engine...so he was right in saying that....if you
have any questions......I am up on the 85-93 5.0's and can help you with most questions.....shoot me a PM anytime. :nice:

If you're in the GTA, you might want to check out the Mustang club here, lots of great stuff going on all summer.

2MuchPSIForU, are you 5PointOHNO? looks like the same avatar.
 
Thanks for the feedback guys :D Yes, I'm near the GTA. closer to Ajax, if you are familiar with areas east of T.O.

I'll definitely have to check into the Mustang club. But first thing is first, I gotta get the car :bang: Only couple more days though :banana:
