Im getting my first 5.0 on saturday and im 17yrs old. Its a 1987 GT with a few goodies including a 302 GT40 crate engine already installed. My question is if itll still be speed denisty or would it be mass air.

The only real way to know is to ask them or just look at it. If it's mass air, you'll see the mass air censor (little black box w/ connection usually located right after the air filter on the passenger side of the car. One would think if they put a crate motor in, they would convert, but people do weird things sometimes...
