anyone know of a good shop or any local guys that can do an install? i recently purchased a 91 5.0 247xxx miles is what the origional owner told me. i dont know if its the original motor but my intentions are to do bolt on untill the bottom end permits. now im some what mechanically inclined as in i know what MOST things do and where they go but ive never really replaced more than an intake or such. now ive purchased a complete clutch kit including flywheel full exhaust and a few other things. i believe i might be out of my league attemting to install this stuff myself. if anyone has any free time and patients to either help me and teach me i am willing to pay for the job or can recommend a local shop in south florida please let me know

thanks

Im in Miami. Not too far away. Me and my bro might be willing to go up there. I've been working on 5.0's for a few years nor (carb and efi) and my bro is pretty damn good also (he is certified and everything). Just send me a message and ill reply withmy number so you can give me a call. oh and how much are you willing to pay?

Click to expand...

Got a good set of tools?
Got a sheltered workplace to park the car when it is in pieces?
Got another car to use for for a daily driver when the Stang is in pieces all over the shop floor?
Got a couple of shop manuals for your year and model?
Got Stangnet? (very good resource when you have a question)

Yes to all the above, dive in and do it yourself...

We all started somewhere, I started in 92 and my car was the only car I had. That doesn't work well when you run
out of weekend and the car is still in pieces. It has been over 17 years now, and I have torn apart or broken and
fixed most of the car. There are still some things I haven't fixed yet, but someone here on Stangnet probably has
done just what I haven't and knows just how to do it.
