in 93 the hp rating of the 5.0 HO was downgraded to 205 and torque down to 275 due a mathmatical change in how horsepower and torque is calculated....therefore the engine's power didn't change, just the number was adjusted. The adjustment was only noted by mustang enthusiests when the SN95 came out and was rated at 215, this was blamed on the extra 45 degree elbow that allowed the stock airbox to hook up with the throttle body on the old 5.0. Just some general knowledge...

That car is gonna be evil as hell if you put that 429 in it. |
Lol...you mean WHEN I do! Seriously after all the kits I've found and write ups I get ....well...nevermind.
Since I have two 429 blocks I'm thinking of going mild 400 on the vert and building a full out track toy with 600+

Block is bored and crank is polished,heads are done too! But my subframe connectors are on back-order along with my gears and control arms! Go figure I spend the money for the stuff I could do before the swap and they get back-ordered but my motor which was supposed to be 3 months out is done now. Need to cash in on my european lottery tickets....lol
