Throwback 5.0 Mustang⚡️Heads, Intake, E303 Cam, 4.10 Gears⚡️Foxbody Brigade 

One of the most iconic foxbody clips

Ahh, the good old days. GT-40 heads, E-303 cam, Cobra intake, 3:73's, pulleys, long tubes. When performance was simple and much cheaper. [ By today's standards. ]

And on the 7th day,god said,let there be a 5.0 mustang......

I miss the '80s... 5.0 Mustangs, IROC-Z Camaros, Formula 350 Firebirds and Buick Grand Nationals... Motley Crue and Ronald Reagan.

The sound of this 5.0 just makes my eyes water as I smile from all the memories I had with such a beautiful fun car. Miss mines sooo much.

The fox mustang is an icon! Love those cars!

I’ve watched this video over time and I can’t stop enjoying this mustang great build this man has

This is how I spent my new years eve... going through old video footage and making a Mustang video for RU-vid, lol...

Right on man, lol... the late-'80s and '90s was a fun time to be a gear head and Fox-Body owner. These cars were the stuff no doubt, unless some richy rolled up in a sleeper Grand National, lol... as time passes, these cars will be even more special. Notice how when we do pass a nice one we jump up in our seats and are like, " oh man, check out the sweet-ass Fox-Body, lol. I'm lucky if I see one out and about once per month, a nice one that is...

Nothing sounds as cool as a 5.0 Mustang. Nothing! Don't care if you've got any tuner, exotic, other muscle, this sounds better.

You just can't beat the sound of a foxbody

...keep in mind, these are just "off the shelf" lower end Edelbrock performer heads, performer style intake and motorsport .498 lift cam. Some head work, intake manifold work, valve train geometry tweaking and balancing, etc... could certainly yield some more impressive numbers.

Beautiful fox.and that beautiful sound with flowmaster they should have come from factory with flows nothing can make that beautiful hollow sound like a 5.0 mustang

My absolute favorite body style for Mustang... Love the rear spoiler and body style from 87-93 ... Affordable horse power!! Good looks also...

Good videos nedac keep em coming.These cars will allways have a place in my heart,back in the good old days of racing they were the car to beat.lts funny that back then there was so many of them roaming the streets.These days it's rare to see a nice one roaming around,kinda sad.Fortunetly I still have one its my baby everytime I take it out in the summer I always have people talking to me about it.l plan on keeping this one cause of its survivor status and get a notch to build.

...but also like you had stated, for some people the cam's sound alone is very important, and a few hp may be sacrificed for that specific aggressive thrash... radical snappy, choppy idle that certain cam-exhaust combos produce... like the musical magic of the Motorsport B-303 cam coupled with 2-chamber Flowmasters, which happens to be one of my favorite sounds produced from a Mustang's exhaust tips, lol. I've heard some really great things about Comp Cams pieces... which may be my next cam pick

What an amazing sounding and feeling car

So similar to my old 89GT. Man great memories!!

I used to work at the AutoZone in Wytheville VA. I live in WV though. I loved that area.

"Bobby's hittin that Mug" lol

Don't care what it runs I am in love

That Fox is a beast!!!

Imagine owning a near stock complete mint 93 cobra! A man can dream! But I love this car!

1:18 Hard as Hell, Foxbody forever

I had a 72 chevelle with a 454 and nos and I swear where I lived everyone had a 5.0 mustang and they were 90% of the cars I would end up racing. We would win every time but that’s because the chevelle was set up,for the quarter mile track so I had it running in about the high11s in the quarter mile which was not very common to find a car with those kind of et,s on the street and the mustangs would get so pissed off because they were usually the faster car on the street at that time. I’m not trying to brag I just really miss seeing so many of the early 90s mustangs when I was at that age that was the car to get they were everywhere and every one I would run into would want to race.and we would smoke them but it,was not fair at all cus like I said mime was geared for the track . I still give the mustang props cus it would be the only car that could even come close to keeping up. They were definitely the car to have back in those days man I miss them even tho they were my arch nemesis lol. Much respect to whoever still runs one and what ever you do don’t sell it. That was my mistake and I have regretted it still to this day . I got into the whole crotch rocket phase and I will miss my car forever. If u are lucky enough to,still have a 5.0 on the street keep killing it man cus they are beautiful cars and harder to find every year that passes . Keep older 5.0 mustang era alive I 💕 love it wen I see one that has been kept up and still ripping up the streets.

Just like any cam, the E-303 cam is great when used in the right application. Most guys quick to trash talk these cams just hear someone else trashing them on a forum. Like, "junk Letter cams"... or "out-dated Alphabet cams"...but most of those fellas don't even know the difference between dual pattern cams & single pattern cams. Sure it is silly to install an E-cam with TFS or AFR heads, but a budget build with stock heads & bolt-ons a B-cam works great, or ported GT40P heads & F-303 cam also.

12.9 ain't bad in a heavy full dressed GT model with an "old" standard bore 302 with Edelbrock performer heads-intake and E303 cam, 24lber's, pulleys, BBK/Flowmaster exhaust and 4.10s. This GT weighed 3,300+lbs. with a 200+lb driver (total weight was probably creeping towards 3,600lbs)..... not bad at all.

Can’t beat the ole 5.0’s

Mustangs are the undisputed Kings of the trailer parks!

Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords magazine tested a bone stock LS1 and ran 12.9 with it... you can find the original article from 2001 on both my websites: Mustang-Town(dot)com & StreetShowDriftDrags(dot)com

That pony was wild!

...and that is a Mustang pubication that tested that LS1 to a 12.9 so no bias either... the car was completely stock and the run was at sea level (New Jersey). I have read road tests that have recorded the 98-02 LS1 cars anywhere from 12.8 to 13.8 with 13.2 being the average times. I have another magazine around here that has a 100% bone stock Z28 running 13.1 and I believe it was Car Craft back in 2000. I'll dig around and see if I can find that issue, scan & post that on my website as well.

Still like better then my current plastic new car

I have a 93 limited edition canary yellow with the chrome ponies, black leather interior, black convertible top,auto, stock,i have been tore up by two family cars here in mesquite tx, I learned my lesson.

super Mustang bro and like put

Yeah, i had a 88 notchback back in the day and had shorty headers, H pipes, flowmasters, pulley's, home made ram air and 3.73 gears running on Goodyear gatorbacks turning out 13.60's at 100mph all day.

It's only a standard bore 5.0 with the typical heads, cam and intake, and other supporting bolt-on mods and gears... with that said, 300hp to 350hp is the limit for a basic under 180cc heads, under .500 cam and the tuned-length style intake setup.

This footage was from years ago, in the Northern Shenandoah Valley region (the very top tip of Va) ...these days I've settled in the Piedmont region of Va, about an hour south-west of D.C.

Nice Stang. Just bought a 91 GT myself. Bone stock just like I wanted it. Well stock except for the headers, flowmasters and the cold air intake on it. I'm gonna do a 347 stroker for it, Stalker front bumper, Cobra R hood and some custom paint which I will design myself. I've wanted one for a long time an now I finally have one. Just a fun summer toy to piss with.

i can take that off your hands for ya, i need a car like that! Nice work

Depends what you intend to do with it... the new-edge cars benefit well from 4.10 to 4.56 gears. The Fox-Body 5.0 motors have loads of low end torque and can perform great with 3.55 and 3.73 gears, but if you want to kill people stop light to stop light, or be an 1/8 mile champ, you can run 4.10, 4.30 or 4.56 gears. 3.73 is really the best middle ground gear. Then again, there is a fella on here (TooSlo86) that runs a GT40p engine, with a cam and 4.56 gears (alot of tuning) and runs 11s, so...

It was pretty nasty back in it's day (late '90s - early '00s) but now not as much with factory 400+hp Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers running around, lol. This thing is probably putting out a little over 300hp to the tires, and it's a full weight and optioned GT model, so it's a bit heavy... if he would have trimmed the fat it would have been much nastier.

Probably around the 230hp range (give or take)... there is a old company that CNC machine ports the E7 heads as well as adds 1.90 valves, etc... do a search for "Power Heads" and expect an addition 40hp from these heads. With the CNC E7 Power Heads and a decent Cobra or GT40 intake you can probably get your car up to around 280hp. You can send your heads in or better yet, buy a cheap set of stockers on eBay and have them shipped there. They've been CNC porting these heads since 1996.

i miss the 90's

Yeah, same GT with this same setup when he raced the LT1 the 1st time (Camaro picks a fight in Mustang-Town) ...but he made a couple changes like Trick Flow intake, tuning, etc when they raced the second time (Camaro returns to Mustang-Town) which is why the Camaro didn't do as well as expected with the new bolt-ons, lol. Also, after the parts swap he managed to squeeze out a 12.6 I think it was...

Fun $%^#ing cars! I always come back and watch this video. LOL

perfect fox body tone.

I agree... but in this day and age Camaros and Mustangs are running that off the showroom floor. Hell, the 98-02 LS1 F-bodies have been known to hit high 12 second times with perfect runs. But you are right, considering this car stock was a mid-to-high 14 second runner.

That car comes out of the hole nice and that dude can drive. Was that 106 mph? Not bad at all and there's not a lot of money in a build like in the video description. Parts are cheap and plentiful for these 5 liter Fords.

I fu@&ing hate 5 inch tachs on the dash. You already have one next to the speedo, you don't need another one.🤣🤣🤣

Nice car bro!

Having fun on rte 9 huh? Then headed over to Mason Dixon Dragway. Greetings to you. I want to do volunteer photographer this year.

12.9 is still pretty fricken quick. I ran that in my Subaru WRX.. felt awesome. Sold it though.. currently looking for a Fox Body mustang. Glad to see with a few upgrades I can break into the 12's easily :-) Can't wait to start the project.

If you can find the lighter "Notchback" Coupe model, which weighs in around 2,800lbs you can easily run 12 second 1/4 miles.

2021 and 12 seconds is still the sh!t

It really all depends on the purpose... Drag, street or road racer? Cam specs and intake design? The long intake runner design makes loads of torque at lower RPMs, as well as having an extremely low 1st gear in the T5 tranny... I personally think that 3.55 and 3.73 gears work well in the 5.0 and 4.10 and 4.30 gears are better suited for the 4.6 models as they don't make the torque that the pushrod motors make and need a torque multiplier off the line. Put some 3.73 gears in it, lol.

l always have people driving beside me with there windows down then get the thumbs up.Funniest one was some hot chick in a sn95 v-6 model that had her windows up when I past her,she sped up and buzzed down her windows and drove beside me for 20 minutes.l think she was pretending that the sound was coming from her car.Made me chuckle.Good times man!!! You still have a foxbody now? or wanting another?

I am so ready to get one. Looking to spend like 5 on a nice one.

Hey Nedac! I'm getting a fox soon, what do you think of 4.10s in a foxbody? My friend has them in his new edge and they are shoooooort. are they too short for your liking? Debating between 3.73s or 4.10s but i feel they're too short for such a small car

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh so nice. Currently swaping out my loveable 1990's inline 2.3 for a 4.9 1979 pace car replica's 5.0. The pace car is so rusted its not worth saving. So im ripping it out (with some help of course) and dropping it into my 2.3's body. Its got no rust and the frame of the car is perfect because well.... 88hp stock doesnt exactly twist or bend the frame haha. I just hope one day it will be as bad ass as this one holy fuck i am addicted to mustangs.

12.9 was respected back when this was shot around 10 years ago... by todays standards not so much as factory Camaros and Mustangs run that straight off the showroom floor.

where is the rear window decal from?

...thanks for the support man, lol

got the same car 92 black on black gt except I have the sc style rims and one piece headlights same hood this one magical cars have fun

thats a bad ass fuckn pony. i just installed a 306 in my 91' Fox and i cant wait to run it. hoping to reach low 13's.

It's in the video description...

In stock form they were and the crappy 2.73 gear ratio. LX Hatchback with suspension tuning crappy radials exhuast,intake,4.10 gears 31xx with me in it ran a 13.4 all day with a 1.97 60ft They arent fast stock form but it doesnt take anything to wake them up. plan for gt40 head swap and more tuning suspension upgrades. hoping for mid 12s

Ive had my fox for about 10 years and have gone through a lottt of tires.... currently running some nittos in the back, theyll last hopefully at least 2 years lol.

As Jimi Hendrix would say-Oh!!! Foxy Lady!!!!!

There is a HUGE difference between 14 second and 12 second 1/4 miles, lol...

I have a bunch of videos on here of this car... Camaro picks a fight in Mustang-Town and Camaro returns to Mustang-Town, and a couple others.

I must say i have watched this video atleast 10 times man lol I'm thinking about replicating a road test review on my fox and playing some cheesy old background music like motorweek and car and driver did back in the day lol

12.9 is a bit slow for all those parts, may have needed more tire suspension who knows. there have been pleanty of full weight GTs still rocking the stock heads and cam, with a good intake, a good tune, the right gears, right suspension, the right tires that are just as fast. stock gt40p heads will get you the 300rwhp with the right cam and tune. that e303 cam was killing that combo.

beautiful car man

I hate vacuum leaks!!!!! I don't know what you were doing under the hood but I assume that it was a vacuum leak cause it sounds just like my 331!!!!

that's a sick car

Badass

If that... probably more like 320hp to the wheels. But 320hp in a 3,200 lb car is a damn nice combo, lol.

Doesn't even need to try to burn out.. and too badass for the camera microphone lol A+++++++

Damn, Hot Chick in a girlie V6 Mustang... I might have followed her home, lol. Yeah man, I have a 5.0 Fox-Body model and a 5.0 SN95 model. I have a few videos of them on here, and actually just posted a few newer clips a few weeks ago. I'm looking to trade my SN95 for a 1989 performance optioned 3rd Gen Camaro, to do a shootout type video series with the 3rd Gen and my Fox-Body. I have a weak spot for that era Domestic cars, lol.

What year was this? I'm assuming around 1999-2002 just because I spotted that MAF and it appeared to be the Black Composite/Plastic/polymer whatever material it was that PRO M went to from the Chrome Bullet 75mm.. If my memory is correct the Chrome Bullet came out in late 94ish I believe and then they went to that Black plasticish material around 2000 or something like that.

Great tuning, great car, now you just need to learn how to control that amount of horsepower

Neda, is that a "Saleen" wing? Always loved the look of that wing.

Makes me miss my old Bird. The intake on that Five O looks identical to the one i had. I was putting 406 hp to the ground. The cam sounds a little bigger in this one. Pushin somewhere round 520 or so?

Best sound ever and nice lookin but should a deleted the ac and smog pump

This is the gt that spanked the lt1 camaro with the new bolt on mods. Was expect little better time though.

Happy New year

highway to hell needs to be put over this, :)

They juss don't kno bruh good work really

Does this man still have the 5.0? Would like to know if it's still racing

Yes... it has the factory computer.

for sure kinda like the 80's I-Roc not the fastest but didnt take much to get them there!!!

Did you forget to release the parking brake? A bone stock late model fox 5.0 efi was good for 14s. So what gives? Btw, it sounds great.

Sweet!

DAMN

LOL!!! ......sounds cool.

Nice car

I'm guessing your WRX wasn't stock...

I'm a Chevy guy but I'd love to rip one of these around!
