I felt like writing this after I read a thread about a guy who sold his 5.0 and regretted it. I have a grey 5.0 Bone stock that is now a salvaged thanks to a drunk driver who hit me on a straight awayon a 25mph zone and hit the back of my driver's side and broke one of my pony rims and made my differential pay the price. Differential was no longer straight it was bent. Hard to believe I know. Me and my dad sort of forgot it until the gave us the check but we got to keep it. 8 months left alone literally 170 bucks later for differential this is including gas and the 5.0 was up and running without oil or any thing. It is no longer good looking thats for sure but it is still running strong. However I raced it once and lost to a ****en h22 prelude his stick mine auto. I felt a little disappointed and still do but the other guy tuned it and had a cold air intake all i had was the the red K&N Filter that is still dusty as ****.And maybe I didn't launch it right. ican't even look at preludes anymore without disliking them a bit now ****en 4 cylinder engine beat me,lol..What;s the point in all this 5.0's are strong for the most part and it gives me a sens of hope when I see my yellow Mustang LX 5 speed that has a lot of promise but has a good amount of work to be done.
