Give me an 89 Mustang GT that came with factory forged pistons(89-92) and I would run down any GN that has 2K in mods if I spent 2K or less. Those 2 are from the same era. I'm not a foxbody fan, but the mods are cheap and I can think of about 20+ sets of heads readily available for them not to mention poweradders.

While I agree the old 5.0s are cheap to mod, I don't think they can hang with a GN with the same $$ in mods. There might be a lot of different heads out there for them but that's half the mod money right there. I had a friend with a heads/cam/intake, etc, over $2000 in mods and it couldn't hang or even come close to my 84 GN with about the same in mods. Just a blower alone will put it past the $2000 point. Nitrous is it's only hope and of course you can run nitrous on the GN too. Still, I miss the old 5.0s, never see them anymore.
