Hey Guys, I let my script to MM&FF expire years ago, mostly because the articles were just re-hashed old stuff, like, "top 10 things to do to your stang." and stuff like that, my ? is, is there anything new enough that I should subscribe?

If you read, you will know.

That's the intelligent, informative reply I was looking for.

IMHO, I think that 5.0 mag has much better technical articles and pictures. Sometimes, MM&FF will skip an important part of an install process or make a 331 stroker buildup look like it only takes 2 hours to do everything.

However, I have read a few good technical article in the past few months, so it may be worth it. I think it's like $24 a year to subscribe - not bad, although 5.0 is cheaper.

If you don't want to spend the money, flip through one at your local supermarket and see what you think.

Thank-you Eric, MM&FF is an excellent mag, I realize that, I lived it for years, I think I'll do exactly what you said, grab a copy at the store and read

I like 5.0 Mustang and Superfords better. The questions and answers section is a lot better then MM&FF. 5.0 mustang actually gives you decent answers and reasons to the questions, while MM&FF's Ask Bernie, just gives you pretty much a textbook answer.

If this tells you anything, I subscribe to 50 Mustangs and Super Fords and read it religiously. I only buy MM&FF when I look it over at he store and see something I like or am more interested in reading up on. If you are looking to do research on certain topics or go for the tech articles go with 50 Mustangs and Super Fords.

I got tired of subscribing to car mags for exactly the same reasons. Now I go to the maganzine websites and get the articles online about a month after the issue comes out. Most are pretty detailed. Plus, it's much more affordable.
