Part of the shop cleaning yesterday was to get rid of the 88 t-bird motor I recently got, to make room for the new one I picked up yesterday..... I got ahold of a low mileage 5.0 HO out of a 90 GT(approx 35,000 miles)..... It has such low mileage because it was pulled out of the car when it was only a couple years old, and has been stored for the last 15 years or so..... About the only thing missing was the balancer which was robbed off it somewhere along the way..... All the EFI harnesses except for the O2 harness were still attached to it, and all the accessories except the alt were also there..... This thing still has the OEM plug wires, and the plug wire looms aren't even broken.....
I took it down to the shortblock this morning, and it is spotless inside.....
I am going to put this thing back together and put it in the car, and put the boost to it..... the only things I am going to add is a new timing chain set because it's a little loose, some head studs and good gaskets.....
Some pic's of after I picked it up and through the tear down.....
