That depends on what your goals are. Do you want to build a wicked sounding V8 to use as a toy on weekends or do you want a performance daily driver that gets awesome gas mileage? Do you need a floor shift and 4-wheel disc brakes or is a column shift okay? There are lots of options available and both cars can be done up really cool, you just need to decide what features are most important to you. P.S. I love them both myself, good luck!

yeah i love the 5.0 but i do have to drive it everyday to the cities for school i want a fast car that wont break my bank 5 speed manual on the floor deffinetly. im leaning towards the 2.3 if i wanted to get a 5.0 i would go straight to my dream car 88 foxbody gt.

If you plan to use it for a DD, then you can't beat the TC. Plus, they have all the options you could want. The problem is finding a decent one around here. They're not terribly expensive, it's just getting tougher to find a good one. They're old enough that they do qualify for Collectors Plates. :)
