Default 5.3 info

may still do a ls motor swap into the stang, now looking at the 5.3 motors, i like the 6.0 motors but they cost a lot more around here if i can even find one, but i can get the 5.3 complete with harness and computer for under 500.00, using stock heads , what kind of power are the 5.3 making with a cam swap and a carb or even injection ? or is it just better to find a 6.0 and spend the extra $$ im not wanting to be the fastest car around nor do i have anything to prove but i do want it to run 12.00 not break the bank and be driven anywhere if i fell the need to

If funds are tight i would def go with the 5.3. great engine and with cam and bolt ons will make alot of power. should be close to your goal. especially in a light mustang.
