Can you buy just an EFI 5.0 ford

[Brian_B]

Hello all,

I hope I am in the right forum.

Is there a way to buy just the 1/25 scale EFI 5.0 V8 ford engine without buying whole kits to get them?

They were used in the trucks, crown victoria, grand marquee, mustang, and just about everything else.

I have not been able to find just engines in my google searches.

I found two current kits that have them a 1/24 scale models that have that engine..but no 1/25.

Both the Monogram 1/24 '55 Ford F-100 Street Rod plastic model kit and the 1/24 Lowrider '92 mustang GT convertible have them.

If all else fails...would the 1/24 scale mustang kit, be an ok donor even with the scale difference?

Picture borrowed off the internet of what I am talking about.

Thank you in advance,

Brian

The MPC (later reissued as an AMT) '87-88 Mustang GT kits had this engine in 1:25th.

Thank you Robert.

That one is out of production and none of the usual suppliers have it in stock anymore. I Just E-mailed a couple of places that carry older kits to see if they have one.

The speedwagon has a 1/25th efi engine. I think the 5 window 32 Ford does too?

The recent issue Revell "32 Ford 5 window coupe" does have one.

The speedwagon does. I cant find any pics online of the 5 window to confirm. I will keep looking guys. Thanks.

Edit: the new 5 window says modern mustang v8. Does not say how modern..so you are probably right. LOL

It does indeed. Two engines..and the 5.0 can be either carbed or injected.

Found the instructions.

You could buy/acquire the whole kit and just remove the motor and offer it up here as trade material.

I just saw where some were swapping models on the forum. Im new around here. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you so much. As of this morning, I have a model ordered. Problem solved.

As anyone building a traditional rod from one of the Revel '32 kits will replace the modern engine there should be a surplus of these engines.

I'd sign up to a forum where they specialise in Traditional Rods and Kustoms and ask if anyone has any to spare.

Where would one find such a forum?

Well you could start by checking your messages.
