88 5.0 Mustang
Wednesday, September 21, 2005 6:12 PM
I may be getting one of these soon and i am looking to make it faster, i don't know where to look for parts and stuff. Can you kind people direct me towards some good online shops where i can get parts. And maybe some forums i can look at too please?

I am looking at making this car all go since the cavy is kitted and painted. I am getting the car for very little, he is possibly giving it to me... and i think it will be a fun project.

Thanks in advance guys!

Where can't you find parts for 5.0s? I think even Autozone has performance parts.

Use your internet skills, do a search.

Ugggh playing with a V8 is so much easier..there's power everywhere...Swap out the heads...some longtubes...manifold...hell throw a bigger cam in that bitch...actually you can do a full motor build, internals, etc..cheaper than you could do it on our cars and have incredible gains...remember there's no replacement for displacement..and it's true

If someone gave me that car I'd have some fun with it.
They're pretty easy to make fast, just keep the outside looking stock.

u guys shouldnt rip on a car u cant beat. doesnt matter if its ugly or slow or whatever else you think is wrong with it, if its faster then you, then shut the @!#$ up lol
ill race anyone on here, name ur place and time.
and if the ls1 is so great and the slowmaro is the greatest thing since sliced bread, where has it been since 2k2? meanwhile ford is enjoying record sales with the mustang

next spring. ill roast yeah with some old school SBC powa!



saying a car isnt good cause it isnt made anymore is udderly retarded, i guess chevelles,novas, cudas, etc all suck. the f body lacked in sales because its an actual piece of refined machinery that costs money, not some wannabe sports car like a mustang that sells like hotcakes cause people like a cheap car they think is fast and sporty.


granted your fox body may be quick, but 99% percent of mustangs and mustang owners make me absolutely sick to my stomach, the next kid i see acting like a badass with his piece of @!#$ v-6 stang im going to stab in the face.



please note: year for year the f body outperformed the mustang. usually by a hell of alot.


oh yeah retro styling blows.

yeah you're right. But I dont hang out with that crowd. if you're bored with playin with ur weiner, check out http://www.midwestmustangassociation.com
No 16 year old V6 bangers on there. Mostly 20's, 30's, and 40's mature guys who find it fun to run single digits.
yeah my first stang was a V6...but it was vortech supercharged lol

and did F-bodies always outperform mustangs....more then likely yes, but mostly because they had more displacement. I like my mustang over a camaro for numerous reasons...more comfortable, more relaxed cockpit. camaros are slick lookin, but suck for long road trips and have a low roof line. lower then a mustang anyway. but income vs. production costs was not all that great so they had to kill it.

and yes, big block power rules. id give up my mustang for a 70 chevelle ss any day. i kinda like them souped up 396ss's with that slick cowl induction hood. drool.

yeah well some refined machinery. very small engine bays, tough to work on, and as I recall on horsepower tv when they pulled their ls1 out of their 98 or 99 ss, they seemed to have to remove the entire front end and lifted the car up over the engine. the engine came out with the front stub and everythin. sounds real easy to do!

the more "refined" something is, with the more engineering gone into it to make it that much better, the harder it is to work on. Good example: whats easier to work on, your mid 70's sbc chevy, or that new toyota prius hybrid with like 200 volt power lines all over the place?

i love old school cars, big @!#$in fan. and im not saying the camaro is retarded because it ceased production, all im sayin is, something must have been wrong. lack of sales, high production costs, whatever.

retro styling is not necessarily crappy, everyone likes what they like. whatever floats ur boat.

and I think the new mustangs are great. 305hp gt that rides smoother then ever before for like 27 grand msrp. if i had the spare scratch layin around, id pick one up.

lol why would me someone who for the most part hates ford go to a mustang site? lol.


i did have a sunbird once thats why im here.


yes i do relieze alot of cool older and mature people own alot of badass stangs, but its like any group a few good people and alot of stupid @!#$s.


idk for the most part f body owners seem to be respectable, cept for those v-6 owners, but they own v-6;s so we just pity them.


i love the low roof, i find it comfortable and im a big guy. 6 foot 200ish


i heart my trans am.

oh yeah, and what pisses me off the most is how people on here talk smack about mustangs in general when many people on here couldnt beat one to save their life. Cavs are cool, but stop talkin @!#$ unless urs is fast. some people on here really know what they are doing. I lurk in the darkness readin @!#$ on here, some people truely are fast, and I give them props, but for the bodykit kings that still run 16's, shut the @!#$ up please, because you're not cool. you only hate what you cant touch.
