Vote 5.0 Drop Top. I want this accurate.

Took me a minute to get the poll up...

I voted 4cyl even though I sold that car. That was my 5.0L fox....Hack Job doesn't count.

my current car is an ex 4 banger, but all of that is going into an original v8 roller soon, so where does that leave me?

Why do you make things complicated?

There is another thread asking about value of 4cyl cars that have been swapped to V8's. He started just "in general" wanting to know if it's worth him performing this swap.......anyways....

With all the action that thread got from some of us, I just wanted to start a poll to see how many of us 5.0 guys are original and how many have swap cars. I'm curious, that's all.
