Ok the ones w/ 5.0's say pushrod. Then we say mod motor. Teg, I would get a 96-98 gt if I were u. The heads can breathe after 4500rpms. Phatstang is right. Gotta get the DOHC if you wanna go fast. Or atleast 99+ GT's are a huge improvement from later years.

As far as w/ the lack of torque comment on the mod motors. Can to take a ride in my car w/ me? I'll show u torque.

Teg- get either a 99+GT or a DOHC. That's your best bet. My car is has a stock longblock w/ just bolt-ons and full interior. -Mark
