Hi,
my name is Izzy and I'm new here, a shout out to all you mustang fiends. A quick question for those of you who know the mustangs LX or Gt from the years 1990-93 really well, What is the biggest engine I can fit in one of these beasts? In terms of cubic inches...I'm in the market for a 5.0 with a tired motor and I would like to rebuild the 5.0 or possibly replace it with a bigger motor. Please, inbox me.
Thanks,
Izzy
Denair,Calif

you can fit a big block ford in it. They'll easily make 600+ cubic inches. It's not the easiest way to make big power though.

What's your power goal?

351W would be MUCH easier... k-member, motor mounts, hood fitment, header fitment, accessories, it's all easier with a small block.

Like this 408 crate motor from Coast High Performance. 525hp for $10k, from a very reliable builder!
