83-84 CFI 5.0 automatics are way over factored. Too high for that tiny CFI throttle body.


1985 4 bbl Mustang 5.0 combo had the hydraulic roller cam and the heads were better than the 83-84 4 bbl Mustang.
Mark Walton ran the 2.3 stick combo in both a T-Bird and an 83 Mustang and set a few records.

The 83-85 heads, intakes and carbs are all the same except for casting numbers.

As for the author of this thread, everyone is here to help.

What trans and clutch are you going to run? Sorry if I derailed your post.
