[Old Guy with 87 GT]

surprized nobody mentioned this ,....if your looking into getter a manual trans car then go with 90-92...........they started using the world class t-5 in late 89 and up models ......better transmision in them definatly

i would still steer clear of the hyperutectic pistons ......i haven't ever heard of anybody experiencing any catistrofic failures from modifieing the hyper moters ,but i have heard of the hyper moters not holding there ring seat and bore quality as well ,or as long as the forged ones........... i also have never seen any of the hyper-5.0s last for 200,000 miles like the forged piston moters do
.............if your planning on using any nitrouse then the hyperutectic pistons aren't supossed to hold up to spray as well either

i'm not trying to flame the hyperutictic guys, just stating what i was lead to believe ,no disrespect meant
