Is the car an original 5 liter car or is it an original 4cylinder car with a 5 liter in it now? Where was the a/f ratio at?

89lx · August 9th, 2008, 07:02 PM

shes a true 5L but i bought it with out a engine or trans and no harness..
it has a 88 computer and harness in it , i was told the engine i bought was rebuilt 2000 before i got it(short block), i had the heads re done, as to the a/f i dont know it was a portable dyno and then didnt hook that stuff up... all they could tell me was hp and torque ... he said thats around what most mustangs put out?

My 86 stock would have put out more than 165 and it has the shittyest heads ever offered on a 5.0

Not to sound like a dick head, but how do you know it is an original 5 liter car? What is the 8th digit of the VIN?

As far as that hack job dyno goes, I wouldn't be too worried until you have it dynoed at a real dyno......with the air/fuel hooked up. You need to know where your air/fuel ratio is at.

Ok, good. Go dyno it at a reputable shop and see where it is. Where are you located?

89lx · August 9th, 2008, 07:46 PM

nova scotia canada ... i only plan on keeping this set up for 2 months max(winter) so i dont wanna spend to much money on tunes, and dyno runs.... just didnt wanna be 30 or more hp less then i should be till then

86_Notch · August 9th, 2008, 07:55 PM

don't put a lot of stock into dyno numbers, as long as it's running fine and nothings amiss take it to a REAL DYNO aka the dragstrip. My buddies ranger with a windsor only dyno'd either 200 or 220 hp yet ran 11.70s so don't get discouraged

89lx · August 9th, 2008, 07:57 PM

thankz for the heads up ..... lol at least all the rice around town thinks i only put down 166 then
