I'll post pictures of my last 2 5.0's but I no longer own them unfortunately. Still a Foxbody guy for life though!
I'll have another one someday, probably once the Boss is paid for.
89'-- Bought it with 29k original miles. Did a 5 Speed swap, 3.73's, AFR 165's, Edlebrock Performer intake, full long tube exhaust ect. Never had it on the dyno but a slightly different setup on my buddies 95 make 300/330. Spinning through 3rd It ran a 13.1 at 108... Guy I sold it to let his tent garage get overloaded with snow and it collapsed crushing the roof in
... Regret selling this one the most.
88'-- Another mint fox with low miles, 48k. Bought from a middle aged lady who purchased it new. Already was a 5 speed car, I did 4.10's, full shorty exhaust, ported E7's, TMoss stock upper/lower, Cobra Rockers, and Mickeys. Otherwise all stock, it put 256hp 300tq on the Dyno at Dez Racing and ran a 12.9 @ 105.
No pics of my 90 unfortunately and if I started posting pictures of all my dads/uncles/grandpas/grandmas 5 liters I'd be here all day lol.

Skunk21 I love your car! A guy in my town has a white fox similar to yours and I fell in love with it years ago. I'm not sure what year it is, it has cobra badging and a Saleen license plate cover lol.
Just for the heck of it. I bought from my uncle when I was 15 and had it painted sonic blue w/ white stripes. Now it's sitting in the garage waiting for me to finish school so I can drop in a 5.0.

Seeing all these Foxbodies as well as going through some of my old pictures has me itching to get another one!
Nice Stangs guys!
@Skunk21-- I love that you decided to go the stock appearance route, makes it look so **** clean like it came out of a time capsule lol. I see that you have a build going on at Dez! No better guy to have working on your
Fox, that's for sure.

dylan.85gt thanks a lot!
Blue Notch I agree with Gary a very nice looking notch, well done
onebadvert thanks. Yeah the goal was to do it with Factory NOS parts if possible. Costly but the fit was so much better and keeping it close to how it came from Ford was the target.
MustangBillJr also thanks for the comments. Yeah Mike and guys are really good to us mustang guys. I have been talking with them about my build. I'm also thinking has an option looking for a set of stock ponys or even a set of Pony Rs to give it the total stock look from '91 and making it a total sleeper.This was the main reason for staying away from aftermarket cowl hoods, etc. I wanted to make it look like a brand new fresh '91. I got a really great deal on my Ford racing cobra r wheels I have now, brand new in the box so I went for it ( Ford has discontinued them) so either way I'm happy.
