    I'm going with a 89-93 Fox Engine. Not sure if it is the best, but they sure are affordable. I just picked up a complete block and assembly for $200.

    I'm going to rebuild it and put AFR heads on it.

    yeah, the 87-93 fox body 5.0's are about the best that you can find as far as a stock engine goes. just remember, you'll need all the accessories and oil pan from your old engine and the 5.0 HO motors have the 351w firing order :)

    a 93 cobra or a ford explorer. they use gt40 heads, have really good efi intakes on them and are roller motors. the cobra motor even has roller rockers.

    Even early 90's Ford vans, have roller blocks and E7TE heads.

    94-97 van or pickup truck. great street roller cam and same internals as the 94-95 Stang. Port the heads, add roller rockers and you're set.
