5.0 >

old school or new school I'll take a 5.0 over a 4.6

[casper gt]

I do want to qualify my statements by saying that although my serious cars were oldsmobiles before the white car I have now, I've had 3 5.0's over the years (first one in 86') & not one of them got out of the 13's with just bolt ons.

don't take my comments as bashing pushrod motors in general or 5.0's in particular, just stating realworld facts from my own experiance not from what I've read on the internet or saw someone else do.

not hardly. my buddy has a bolt on bullit, stock heads, intakes, etc. running 7.80s. it would take an older 5.0 more than that, imo, to get it running past that. another buddy has a built 306 in his fox with heads and everything and runs in the 7.80s without the nitrous. im not bashing the 5.0s at all though.
