No, you are mistaken. My engine is 281 CID.

you may be thinking of the old 60s mustangs. those had 289s. current model mustangs are 281.

And, dude, great setup, but add a rear- aux in to the AIWA - very easy to do, and makes it look so much better.

older 5.0 engines and the late 60s models were 289CID you are correct the current 4.6L motors are 281

actually 5.0's are 302 cid

From what I understand, the 5.0 302 is just short of 5.0.
(Or was it the 289 with headers they called the 5.0 when really a 4.9)

It's more 4.9 but 5.0 sounds better.

That's Ford's big secret and now they have to kill you since you know...

You are correct, it is a 4.9 liter...I have a 1987 GT convertible into which I am installing all this stuff. I can't wait to get it installed! I finished the motor last year. It's a 306 with TFS Stage 2 ported aluminum heads, E-303 cam, 1.6 FMS rockers, GT-40 intake, 70mm throttle body, and a Paxton supercharger with the 8 lb. impeller upgrade. It's lots-o-fun! I have to paint it and install the brake upgrade, but it's mostly complete.
Glad to see I'm not the only Mustang owner here!

Just wondering...and this has been discussed before.....but would like to in your mustang's case......

Is the Sub's magnet affecting the computer at all with them being mounted that close to each other?

The magnet has not affected the computer at all.
