My '65 has a 5.0L long block (M-6007-A52) fitted with early v-belt drive accessories, E303 roller cam, GT40 heads/valves, Weiand Stealth and Holley Street Avenger, Hookers, etc. Runs great! Yes, I would have preferred EFI, but finding a good used MAF set up is not easy and a new one is cost prohibitive (I have my limits, and my wife gets a vote on how much I spend!) One day I will add the EFI computer, just not now. Point is, you can use 5.0L engines successfully to power classic Mustangs without using the EFI, serpentine drive, etc. Next mod is four wheel disc brakes. Perhaps next Summer...
