Hey Steve, on another note, been reading a lot about this infamous 5.0 engine ticking noise... do you have it or have any thoughts on it?

Yeah, it is cheaper. Between $7-8 per quart depending on how you buy it (per quart or per jug).

I do have a little bit of an engine tick. But guess what? My 370Z ticked. My 2006 Civic ticked. My 2003 4.6L Mustang GT ticked. My 2002 Mustang V6 ticked.

Hell, my sister's Escape has a bit of a tick. So does our Chrysler Pacifica. Girlfriends Mercedes CLK500? Yep, that has a tick too.

Don't worry about it. The people on those forums complain like mad. Whatever it is it obviously isn't a problem.

If you have ticks, you may want to see a doctor

The only thing that really bugs me with the 5.0 in terms of looks is that antenna... It kind of sticks out.

Are there any types of antenna deletes?

Red__Zed · 09-29-2011, 01:46 PM

There are a ton of replacement options.

The option most popular with older mustang drivers is the "snap it off and listen to tapes" mod, gracefully accented with duct tape and a bent hanger for whenever the game's on the radio.

BS. The only people that snapped off old mustang antenna's were jealous 300ZX owners.

I think I read somewhere that 300zx's were better balanced than Mustang GT's back then.
