New to the 5.0 World. WElcome ME :-)


Hey guys.. bought a 93 gt 5.0 foxbody about 2 months ago, and just recently found this forum. Id like to get to know my car a little more, and i feel that this site is just to place to be. I took a glance at the car and noticed alot of things on it were not stock. so far my list is as follows:

Flowmasters
3.73's
H-pipe
K&N filter (its kinda big O_o)
Champion Plat Spark plugs
Chassis bars. (i found the bar in the back and full supports along the underside in the middle, but im not sure if ones in the front. is there one that goes in the front under the engine? or is it on top? what should i look for if it has one or not?)

Something is Eddlebrock
Now that is what annoys me most ^.... i have edlebrock stickers everywhere in the car.. but i cant seem to find what is actually eddlebrock in the car. Anything i should look for? First thing that came to mind was the shocks, but im not sure what stock shocks should look like. Help. Ill post pictures soon.

Anything else done to the car, im not sure of :-(

Theres been some audio work done on the car. it has an obvious outline where the box used to sit and there is a black cable, a red cable, and a 2-lined cable which i dono what is. the audio done was most likely JL.. cause i have a sticker with that too.

Took it to firestone today and got new tires (Firehawk GTs) and got lifetime alignment for it. i heard that this car has some trouble with the alignment. Also got the front pins replaced cause they were loose. Also have new back brakes inside the drum. spent a little over 1k. wow was i ripped off but my father said it should be done anyways.

Some problems i noticed with the car. front bumper and back bumper are aftermarket and are LOOSE. missing tons of screws. a little dent here or there, nothing noticeable without a nice shine to see the curves. the rubber linings around the doors are old, and when i waxed the car (TurtleWax, green tub) i have white streaks in there now that i cant get off.
Also...the headers are a bit rusty and i need those replaced. any suggestions?

This is becoming a long first post. Lol.

What i will use the car for:
~just driving to school and back (im a senior in high school)
~occasional racing with fellow classmates :-D (theres a guy with a 93 5.0, the non-fox one, and he thinks he will dust me, but ive driven his car and mine feel alot quicker)
~lots of joyriding
~im planning to have this car for a long time as an adult, thinking about fully restoring and selling it in the car future if i manage not to get it into an accident hah.

Well yea this is the car, any question just ask here and give me some specifics on what kind of pictures i should take of the car (exterior and interior)

i was looking for what i can do to upgrade the car over time, nothing in a hurry. top priority goes to the headers tho.

P.S. i dont want cobra rims or a 5-lug conversion (gasp!)

Welcome to M.M.. Look at your intake and heads. Thats where you will find Edelbrock if its there. Your subframe connectors just connect the rear frame to the front frame. Good luck with your car. Pics of the inside, outside and under the hood. Those make good pics to see whats going on. Again, welcome to the sight.

you could have an electric fuel pump from edlebrock or something small like that..or it could be somethign as simple as him putting stickers on it..lol..but if your intake manifold is edlebrock it will say it on it..most likely edelbrock and the make of the intake i.e. performer, victor. or a camshaft..the lsit goes on it could be many things.
