My new LSC!! Reply #15 – September 28, 2010, 09:14:27 PM Quote from: 20thanniver-ls;337094Well, my vin code is M but my injectors are orange and I have the tubular headers on a stock exhaust. When I was browsing through the autozone website, (I know, not very credible, but helps my argument LOL) they had "M" for HO and "E" for SO I am confused now LOLWell if you have orange injectors its an HO so that is a good thing . 87 is a weird year for those cars , it quite possibly is stock . Mine was an 88 and I LOVED it Actually after a little more research it seems M is 200 HP HO E is 225 hp HO so either way you have an HO I mis-spoke earlier apparently its the 225 HO that is rare in 87 Quote Selected
My new LSC!! Reply #16 – September 28, 2010, 09:19:15 PM According to my info all 85 and newer LSC's had a version of the HO, with M as the VIN digit. In '85 it was 180 horses (base Marks had a 140-horse CFI non-HO), 86-87 it was 200 (non-LSC models shared our wonderful non-HO 5.0 @ 150 horses), and 88-92 it was 225 (all 88-92 Marks had the HO).

Thats what I just figured out , I should read things more thoroughly before I post :hick: Quote Selected
My new LSC!! Reply #19 – September 28, 2010, 09:26:45 PM The M code 200hp 5.0 is a HO with e6se heads on it, the same as Thunderbird and 1986 Mustangs. When Ford put the better flowing e7te heads on the HO it went up to 225hp and became the E code. Quote Selected
My new LSC!! Reply #20 – September 28, 2010, 09:27:59 PM Maybe the 225 hp was with the E-7 heads?? **EDIT** I posted this at the same time as 5.0 bird above......LOL Quote Selected

The Mark VII LSC was the only car in 1987 to use the M code. :hick: Quote Selected

My new LSC!! Reply #26 – September 30, 2010, 09:51:50 PM Thanks dude, I really don't like the ass-end much either, but, nonetheless it's a fox, and I couldn't find a V8 cat around here. Plus, it's already HO (although with the E6's) which saves me some time and cash LOL. QuoteCool you c00ched up a Mk7. Those are pretty rare around where I'm atWhen I lived in Tampa, it was a very rare occasion for me to see one. Mine has been local it's whole life. Quote Selected
