I found a video with a lot of cool stories about the 5.0 fox body movement. I remember always reading about these guys, it’s cool that they all got together again.
I was a bit behind those guys growing up as I didn't turn 16 till 1991. Read everything I could get my hands on about their exploits in racing the "new" efi 5.0s.
Still the fox mustang,racing at Rockingham on Friday nights back in the early-mid 90's and up,street racing on the weekends,etc were very much a huge part of my life. Still have my 90 LX coupe I bought in April of 1992.
I was a bit ahead of these guys with my 86 LX 5.0 notch that I special ordered in 85. It ran a best of 14.53 @ 93 on gatorbacks... I blew up FOUR T-5s in that 86. After read Cars illustrated I knew I needed a 87... I eventually ordered an 88 Notch. It went a best 13.52 at 101 on M&H tires with 14* timing and a short belt.....
I read Cars Illustrated like it was my racing bible. These guys were responsible for the Mustangs popularity in the late 80s and 90s.... I honestly know all their last names without any of them mentioning them.... 5.0 Mustang Legends!
The Ford engineer they had as a guest mentioned that the heads on the 86 were not good at all. He said the 85 heads and the 87 and up cars were the ones to get. I can’t wait to here more of the stories from you all. I was born in the wrong era!I was a bit ahead of these guys with my 86 LX 5.0 notch that I special ordered in 85.
