Do the H.O upgrade.With the stock Mustang H.O cam,headers,H.O Speed Density computer,and injectors (along with dual exhaust),it'll really surprise you,and,the whole deal can be done in an afternoon.You really don't need Mass Air unless you're swapping heads and going to a larger cam.I have the injectors,cam,and computer.The headers can be found for super cheap on Ebay or over on the Corral.They're fine for what you need.You may also want to pick up an H.O upper intake throttlebody,and throttlebody spacer.They too can be found for very little money.


how much do you want for the injectors, cam, and computer? i have seen the headers on ebay and i noticed that you can find some for buy it now for under $40 so i might have to buy a pair soon. the thing is that if i do this stuff i want to have everything sitting here so i can do it all at one time.

I'd take $145.00 shipped.The computer is a DA1,the best Speed density computer.The injectors are the better 4 hole design,and the cam is in great shape,no scars,scratches or damage what-so-ever.

By the way,I MAY have an H.O fuel pump (no promises),and if I do (pretty sure I do),I'll toss it in the box for you,no extra charge.I'll I ask is that you buy the parts and leave honest feedback when you get the parts.

To each his own, but unless they are at least ported, or someone gave me a set for free(and I couldn't afford better), I'd never swap the E6 for E7s

Ford 5.0 Heads 
$795.00 pair 
This is a set of heads for the car owner that’s wants to keep his engine stock appearing. A set of E6SE casting Ford Windsor heads. They have had a complete port and polish job done.  Then assembled with 1.90 x 1.60 stainless steel valves, .550 lift springs, 7 degree chrome moly retainers, locks and new umbrella seals.  The heads have been milled and the chambers are now a real 68 CC chamber size. The stock pedestals or bolt down bosses are ready for a roller rocker.

Geesh how big are the chambers on a stock E6 or E7 head? My GT40Ps have a 60cc chamber and that's as big as I'd want to go NA.

I'm thinking that has to be a typo...they must mean 58cc's because the chambers should only be 64cc's stock...and milling them isn't going to enlarge the chambers...lol....doesn't look like any chamber work was done, so I'd assume it was a typo.

I've been looking for the reference.  Almost everything I've seen has said that they are in fact 68-69 CC stock.  Makes sense with the 86 Flat top piston HO motors having the same compression as their E7 headed brothers with valve reliefs.  I had a great online reference for it once.....I've yet to find it again.  I hate it when that happens.....

What I've seen on the '86 HO's spec 9.2, which is a bit more than the 8.9 - 9.0 I see for E7 headed 5.0s...

I have one more question. lol does anybody know if the radiator out of a 1988 mustang will fit in my 1988 thunderbird? i was just wondering because aluminum radiators for mustangs are cheaper than aluminum radiators for thunderbirds on ebay and i need to have my stock radiator fixed or replaced. i just added that to this thread because i didnt want to start a whole new thread just for this question

AFIK, they're the same rad... Virtually anything that fits under the hood of a Stang will fit our cars... Of course most engine components require other parts to complete the install...

does anybody on here run an aluminum radiator? if so would a 1 row aluminum radiator cool a mildly modified 302? my car is stock right now but i plan on doing some work on it soon and i need to get a radiator and the 1 row is cheaper but i dont want to save money now if its gonna cost me even more later
