Knowledge Needed on 5.0 Mustang Engine

[Mr 5 0]

The 5.0L is a great engine and very durable.

The pre-1993 (stock) 5.0L V-8 HP rating was 225, Torque was 300 lb/ft and the compression ratio was 9.0 (used regular gas). The 5.0 had Mass Air, EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) and standard ignition (has a distributor). 5.0 liters of displacement translates to 302 cubic inches, which is a very decent displacement size...not too big - or too tiny. The later Mustang V-8's are a 4.6L displacement or 281 cubic inches, just as a comparison. Gas mileage isn't great (in the high teens, usually) but the performance makes up for that. Highly recommended engine, even in a Bronco.
