What's the best 5.0 Forum?

Post by baco99 »

Hi again. Since the Capri obviously shares the same major components with the 5.0 Mustang of the same era, what's the best 5.0 forum online? I did a search and there's maybe 50 different ones. Any recommendations? Stangnet? themustangsource? moddedmustangs? vintage-mustang?

Thanks all!

The only site that I use for 5.0 questions is foureyedpride.com.. Its the only site besides this one that really cares about Capris and the early fox mustangs.

foureyedpride.com is geared very much to preservation of Capris and Mustangs, 79-86, but there are some very knowledgeable guys there that know their Fords inside and out and have extensive experience modifying/racing these cars.

JACook over there is some kind of minor deity when it comes to Ford engines and transmissions.

FEP is great because they try to keep the drama at a minimum and everything civil. A lot of the experienced guys switched to FEP years ago because many of the 5.0 sites appear to have 12 year olds running rough shod on the site and nothing appears to be moderated.

FEP for me as well :)

For those not keeping score on FEP, a few other locals took a look at the car this weekend and suggested the shock towers and frame rails might be rotting out, or already rotted. I'll take another look. If that's the case, I may not take the car without a significant price redux. Will see...
