Odds are, it'll accelerate faster right off the bat. Mustangs are lighter than Nashes...and the five-oh isn't exactly a slug of an engine.

A stock 87-93 5.0 Mustang runs mid-14's and your GN probably ran high 13's, maybe a bit quicker.

To get 13's from a stock 5.0 I suggest 3.73 rear gears, a PRO 5.0 shifter, Edelbrock or TW heads and intake, headers and an H-pipe plus a 190 lph FP, adjustable fuel regulator and a hotter coil along with other minor parts. $2,500. is more than enough to do it right. With decent rubber you can see low-mid 13's easily. Have fun.

You know your neighborhood better than I do, but I would recommend an alarm if it's going to be parked outside.

Take care
