What is a 5.0 H.O. M?

[TheDog]

My wife's dad said he found a 1996 Lincoln Mark VII with this engine in it. (I personally thought the Mark VIII with a 4.6 was out by then but that's besides the point) He's trying to find me an engine for a swap out on my stang. The only thing is that on the top of the manifold it says "5.0 H.O. M". The "M" was in caps but was in a smaller print. He doesn't know what the M means and if it will make a difference. Only thing I can think of is maybe it was a police interceptor engine with bigger injectors or something. Can anybody help me??? Thanks!

If it's a 1996, it's a Lincoln Mark 8 and has a 4.6L DOHC motor in it.

If it's a Mark 7, it either has a 5.0 or a 5.0 HO. The HO is the same as the Mustang HO. There is no other motor...police or anything.

5.0 HO is as good as it gets aside from Cobra.

If the car had an "M" in the VIN means it's an '86 H.O. motor - E6 heads, smaller TB, flat top pistons and smaller intake.

That's what my '87 used to have in it.

I bet he meant 1986 Mark 7.

In that case i would pass on the engine that is inside it.

Change the pistons and heads and you have a 87-93 spec motor. If you are planning a rebuild it'd be a fine candidate.
