Hi all, Jeff here. From Northern Iowa with a 1984 Mustang GT. I am currently swapping out the tired carburated 5.0 with an '87 EFI 5.0. It has a T-5 and 3.08's
So far my best was 18mpg with the carbed motor. I am hoping for low 20's right out of the box with EFI. I have added a late 80's ranger front air dam in hopes to help with MPG.
Right now it has solid rims on it with 14" tires. It wont be running those forever but they work for now.
Thats all I can think of for now more to come..
