The 87 5.0 in a LTD wagon is NOT the same motor that is in the stang GT. And yes you are correct with the 88 motors having the mass air meters.
: I was browsing the junkyard today getting a rear window for my mav, and I saw an '87 LTD wagon with a 5.0 motor in it!!!! It isn't quite like a 5.0 mustang motor. The intake manifold looks like its turned backwards (inlet on drivers side). Also if I remember right, don't the '87 motors have Speed Density control for the EFI, where '88 and later had Mass Air meters? The guy told me I could have it and all the wiring for $200. But it definitely looks like an all-day job, sorting through the wiring and making sure I have it all. The motor only has 66000 miles on it, does anyone know if This LTD motor is as powerful as the 5.0 mustang motor(i think they were rated at like 215hp) ?
