Title: 88 Mercury Cougar 5.0
Post by: albertoruol on June 22, 2018, 12:59:17 PM
Hello how are you?
I hope you can help me and clarify my doubts,
the following happens, I have a cougar 88 that originally had a carbureted v6 engine,
the engine was overheated and although it was repaired it never looked good,
so they offered me a 91 cougar engine 5.0 HO and it changed and everything went well.

Now they are offering me a cougar 88 blue max edition with 5.0 EFI engine,
my question is this, what engine is better?
Which one can be better exploited?
At first look the only differences I see are that the 5.0 HO brings a mass air and an Ignition Coil on the surface.

I do not know much about the engines, I hope you can help me.

thank you very much!
regards!
