I lost to a 5.0 :)

[Lankhoss]

5.0 * 61.02 = 305 they are both 305 ci.... the crank makes the diff...........

Often times companies will put a "name" on a size of a motor, but it isn't always the most accurate. This is one example.

GM used the 5.7L V8 for decades. It was always a 350ci motor. But when the LS1 came out, the displacement actually went down to 346ci.....however, it was still called a 5.7L.

My motor is peculiar in that it's the exact opposite. Mine is a 7.0L, which comes out to 428ci. However, since GM was known for its 427 motor, they just CALL the LS7 a 427 (even in the car's literature), even though it actually IS a 428.

i always thought a 302 and 305 were 4.9L,while a 307 was a 5.0

ford 5.0= 302...........
chevy 5.0 is a 305 right?........ just a little difference in the stats there not that it really matters. man i miss my accord

5.0 mustangs are 301.59 if you want to be technical. appearantly 302 was a more attractive badge than 301.59.

4" bore, 3" stroke = 302
4.030", 3.25" = 331
4.030", 3.50" = 347

Hey u owned one too........................

But yea I do own one... But its the 4.6... I haven't raced my wifes 96 GT yet but it feels a lot faster then the accord and its just an auto, I just thought the foxbodys were faster then the 94-98's......

They are slow stock, but you are hard pressed to find to many stock foxs. And you want to talk about a slow car, lets talk about any NA (5.0 & 4.6 not motor swaps) SN95 but I'm bias so what do I know.

sn95 is the slowest generation of mustangs... excluding the "king cobra" days ofcourse. Most ford people do not claim those to be mustangs.

I dont really understand the logic behind saying SN95s are slow without boost... had you of attached that to the 4.6s i could maybe see where you are coming from. Sn95 is basically the same platform as a fox... actually... the mustang platform has pretty much been the exact same for most of its production. The only reason Sn95s are slower stock.. is because theyre more equipt cars... bigger... 4 wheel disc brakes, heavier than foxbodies and the 4.6 engine has less of an aftermarket than a 5.0 and its also a more intimidating engine to build. I see what you were getting at.... but it was a little off.

I was saying that to the guy that thought his wifes auto was faster than your average dd fox. I know that the SN95 being slow is not news to anyone else and your right a new edge doesn't have any balls without atlest a 4.10 maybe even a 4.30.

I didn't say my wifes was faster, by no means
