My 93 5.0 definitley had that pin-you-to-your-seat, tire-boiling
torque coming out of the hole...My 2000 model seems stronger on the top end. Both cruised well at 75-80 on the interstate...some of you may be laughing, but i cannot afford any more tickets. The 5.0 got better fuel mileage
Like I said, once I got my new one broken in, it will pin me to my seat...Since I did minimal modidfications on my 5.0, i don't feel like
I got screwed when I bought this one...I guess its 6 of one, half a dozen of the other as the old saying goes.
...and when it comes to engine repair, all I do is routine maintenace stuff on mine. Lord knows I'd be lost as a blind mule
trying to tackle fuel injection since I was raised on carburators. I'm stuck being dependant upon the dealer if anything major goes wrong until I can learn how to do some of that stuff...
