The E-7 5.0 long block I upgraded to from a 302 was a long block that did not stop using oil. The installing shop was crappy about honoring the warranty and blamed the lack of coverage on Blueprint, my carb, and anything else they could. The valve guides were knurled, not replaced.The used to in the early 2000’s
Looking through my catalog, you could get everything from a “econo long block” from $2800 to $6000 high performance engines
I seem to remember new short blocks were around $1500
I’ve always found the reviews on Blueprint to be mixed. The factory five cobra replica guys love them. On here I’ve often found negative reviews. I have no experience with them, but they do seem to be one of the last remaining options short of buying an engine off Ed Curtis or one of the other big name shops around
Why not have both?I have made up my mind to sell the 1990 lx and buy a 2015 - 2018 mustang gt. So if anybody looking for a nice fox or if y’all no of anyone looking for one message me . I will be advertising it on Facebook foxbody groups in a couple of weeks just got a few interior parts that I orderd to install and then she is up for sale .

I got a friend who sales cars so I can get one for what he gets it for at the auctionI would not buy a Coyote in this current market.
Then who makes the samaches and holds the beer?No wife better life
Gotta do what you gotta do. If that will make you happy, do it.I’m actually debating selling my fox and buy a 15-17 coyote mustang . Drove one the other day and had no idea how strong those cars are and super comfortable!!
Not sure, my EX never did........Then who makes the samaches and holds the beer?
I bought my 82 RS new with 4 speed and 7.5, later with T5 and 8.8 (3.55) upgrades. I could never divorce my love even after 40 years! And besides nothing sounds like a Windsor 5.0.Gotta do what you gotta do. If that will make you happy, do it.
The new Stang's are very nice and run well, no question, but I love my foxbody. It has a personality all it's own that new cars with all their refinement do not have.
Plus I cannot put an antique plate on a New mustang and have it be safety and emissions inspection exempt. Also can't get full coverage on it with hagaety for $140 per year either.
It's all in what you want and what is important to you. I bought my fox as a throwback to my youth that no modern car would give me. It does a very good job of it.
The new ones are fast and comfortable so if all I wanted to do was clean, wash and wax it and do general maintenance, it would be nice in that aspect.

Absolutely! They have a sound all their own. I love it also...always haveI bought my 82 RS new with 4 speed and 7.5, later with T5 and 8.8 (3.55) upgrades. I could never divorce my love even after 40 years! And besides nothing sounds like a Windsor 5.0.
Nothing wrong with that brother. There's no right or wrong here, it's all personal preference. I hope to be able to spin wrenches as long as I'm healthy and independent, we'll see what God had planned for me.I think that's where I am in life.
