I have a 93 5.0 8# KB,
lots of people want to buy it for $2k to $4k,
but I cant afford $30k+ for a new,
so I keep the old,
it is darn fast,
found a bolt missing on bell housing and several others loose,
tighten all, made a big difference

I also thought about upgrading/redoing my Cobra, but decided it's just
easier to get a new GT.

Yup, when I brought in my 84 Capri to the local Ford dealer for
an oil leak, they replaced pan and valve cover gaskets and a few other
things. There were several folks in the service department that wanted
to purchase the car, but I declined. It has only 67K miles on it and
it is stored in the winter. Right now, there's a gas leak and the carb
is wet, probably the same thing that happened 20 years ago when I had
to tighten the screws on the carb top plate. I'll check it out one of
these days, but I was looking in my tool box and I can't find my
roundtoit. I still love that car!
