Who has installed a Mustang 5.0 liter in their Marauder?

[Lowndex]

I am interested who has installed 5.0 liter Stand engines and the issues they faced.

a SOHC mustang 5.0 is like 2 steps down, not up

[ImpalaSlayer]

arnt 5.0s push rod motors?

He's talking about the good old 5.0 pushrod engine.

To answer your question, I don't know of anyone who has done that swap into a Marauder.

It would take an intake, aluminum heads, cam and exhaust to get a 5.0 to breath and put down the HP that the DOHC engine does.
If you were going to put a 5.0 pushrod in a Marauder...why not go straight to a 351W stroked out to 408 cid and really get the torque that you need?
Should be do-able...It is a smaller engine dimensionally than the monster headed DOHC modular.

351 based 427 stroker for the win baby!!!

Pushrod power rules. Only 2 problems. #1 GOOD LUCK passing emissions/inspections. #2 It'll be expensive yet go backwards with tuning technology (but then again, I like that I can tune my fox with an allen wrench, dizzy wrench, and duct tape)

However I've learned it takes about 1/2 the $$$$ to make a pushrod fast vs a modular. Thats why I'll keep my "Gofast car" a pushrod. :)

I hear ya brutha!

If I roach my forged modular engine, I will be hard pressed not to drop a built 351W stroker into my Marauder instead of wasting a TON of money to build another modular engine.
351Ws are simple as dirt, proven beyond belief, and bulletproof!
There are only about 25 styles of great aluminum heads available for them now.

OK....I'll bump my 408W up to a 427W...then I can hang the 'old school' 427 badges on my Marauder's front fenders.

BTW: They make a 460cid SBF for those crazies out there.

I was thinking about the Boss 302 iron modular block, bore and stroking it out to 5.3? Since ia am in Cali no option for SC. I seen this combo on Lidio's site but he's said he hasnt done one that wasnt blown so he didnt know what that combo would do. 400/450 is what he would guess.

Hey Lowndex do you work in Pleasanton? I seen your silver with that license plate a few weeks back on sunol blvd.

This is a picture of my second Mercury just before I bought her for $500. I was planning to put a 460 in that Cougar. I bet she would've flew! Both the Cougar and 460 is long gone. I guess I like silver Mercs.

If I had a manual valve body for my transmission and an adapter plate for the bellhousing.... I could but a 500hp carb'd 408 in my MM tomorrow!
