Question about 5.0 motor in 86 GT.
Hey guys i bought this car from my cousin and he had this car since 88 he bought it off some and my cousin did know anything about it, HERE MY QUESTION, i been seeing what evey body has been saying about how much HP these motor should make with mild work, and there puting like 270 to 300 thats with alot of aftermarkets, so i took my car to get a dyno, now its an 86 GTHO motor, the first place i took it to i got 280 on the dyno so about 5 miles down the road i took to another guy that i know and on his machine i got 282, now he says that it might have some work done, he says it looks like it was taken apart because there is the orange rubber gaskets used to seal everything, ford uses cork, IS THIS CORRECT.
thanks alot Ernie |

Something has been done for that. Stock 1986 Mustang HO 5.0 motor makes 200hp and 285 lb/ft of torque. (I believe thats at the flywheel, not at the rear wheels).

280 at the wheels is pretty tough, do you have any pics of the engine you could post? Most of the works probably inside the motor though, is the intake/heads still stock?

There should be obvious changes under the hood for an engine putting out that much power.
Different heads, intakes and headers would be some of the obvious things you would notice. Take it to the track and see what it runs. You'll find out for sure if work has been done or not.

It has some pretty serious mods to put down those numbers. The changed should be real obvious.

OK..I'm going to be the first to say it.....something does not quit add up here. Either there is more work done to that engine that you can't see or those dyno numbers were grossly inflated.
You don't get those kinds of dyno numbers with those simple mods........I'm sorry....you just don't Take it to the track and let us know what the MPH was through the traps.

Hmm...I'll look at my gaskets on my "88 GT tomorrow. That engine, I know, is bone stock.
I don't think they are cork though...they're rubber but I don't remember what color.

no way that engine is making 280 rwhp with stock heads and intake. is it a cobra intake? ported heads? diff cam?
like you said alot of cars are making 270-300 with alot of aftermarket parts and you doing it with stock parts?? there more to that engine than you know or are telling most stock 5.0s dyno around 180-190 rwhp. with a cobra intake, bigger mass air, 65 mm t.b and flowmaster exhaust i dyno'd 235 rwhp.

Something is not right. The heads either are ported to crazyness (like R/S cars) or it has GT40 irons on it. Does it lope? It has to have a cam to make that power.

People do hit 300rwhp with the stock cam and 1.7's.
I just cant imagine making 280RWHP with the stock headers and intake manifold.
