Default 5.0 foxbody Vs. 5.7 TPI 3rd gen.

I wanted to get a little fun car, but couldn't really decide between the two. I like both car. My goal is to get to the mid to low 13's without spending a lot of money. Is that possible or are they slow that they need a lot of money to get to the 13's?

5.7 TPI is crapola. It's good that fox's are everywhere. Makes it alot cheaper for parts and works for your advantage.

i'm a die hard chevy fan but they are right the 5.0 would be cheaper unless u are planing on doing a heads/cam swap then i would go with the 5.7.
it realy comes down to how much do u have to spend on the car plus mods
i got a 327 and trans that would make u go 11s for a steal but is not that street friendly
