if you own a 5.0 you dont worry about gas lol, atleast not me. Its not that they break down alot its that theres so many little things to do to them. My car has 147K with a stock AOD and is running great only have a quart of oil every 3k miles. only reason why im spending money on it is because I want to, not because I have to. Its a mustang owner thing.

Anyways, really? Everyone (including my bro who'se had 6 stangs) has been telling me they're shitty for DDs? If buying a nice 5.0 would prove that wrong, I indeed wouldn't worry about gas much. If all else fails, I could just buy carbed, retard the timing, and pump regular into it

not yet to use spray still bringing it up to par before I start really modding it, you know the usual
subframes
AOD to a T-5 swap
not most do this one but GT to a LX
lol the 3 most major things to a AOD GT and 2 of those are knocked out and Ive only spent 278.88 (springs and subframes)
I would not consider a foxbody expensive.
