Hello to all. I have built many mustangs with 5.0s, 5.8s and even a few 429 and 460s. I bought a 86 gt without a drivetrain. So today I go take a look at what was supposed to be a 5.0 out of a explorer. I get there and pull the cover off a 5.4 out of a 2001 expedition. So it got me thinking. I bought it for $160. It's very low milage with all accessories. The fabrication is no problem. Will hood clearance be a problem? Is this a decent platform to start with motor wise? I want the car mostly for street strip use. In the future some kind of power adder for sure after internal mods to the engine. Is there a good stand alone that works with this motor? Thanks in advance.
