Hey guys,
I have been researching a lot on which mustang motor I want to get as a donor for my 1951 Ford f1. I have decided on an efi 5.0 with MAF, and been leaning heavily to the 89-93 models. My goal has been to find a wrecked car to pull the motor and trans from (1- cheaper, 2- I can't kill a mustang just to have parts for my truck!). In my searches I have found many 94-95 for much cheaper which brings my question. Is there any reason to stay away from the 94-95 5.0? I know they have many parts that are not interchangeable with the 89-93, I know they're hypereutectic from 93-95. I know there's a different ecu. But is any of it poor quality or something to stay away from? I plan to make it a weekend cruiser that's got enough under the hood to get folks attention. All of my previous searches compare the interiors or suspensions of the two models. I'm just interested in motor and trans. Thanks guys!
