5.0 roller motor

i picked up a roller motor for a project im working on. its suppose to be a stock 5.0. can a stock 5.0 put a 2900 pound 1986 mustang plus 200 pound driver so 3100 total into the 12's? it ran 12.95 @ 103. he said it is  all stock with a victor intake, 750 holley, 1 5/8 long tubes, 4.11 gears and 26x10 slicks. thanks jim . i was just wondering.

It could if everything is set-up correctly

Absolutely. I had a 1992 5.0L coupe that went into the 13.90's on street tires in absolute factory trim. Had only ditched the dopey airbox silencer. Gears were FAR from optimum. The car you describe should do it fairly easily.

Suspension is key..... I had a 89 gt back in the day stock bottom end with stock cam only work was a set of thumper performance race ported e7 heads and zero deck block with a vic and 750 carb that went 12.58 it can very well be done

Would adding 1.7 roller rockers help or don't bother (I've got a set)thanks

What heads?

stock E7's

The 1.7 will help also cut the egr bumps out of the exhaust side.... if you find your self looking to upgrade to gt40 or gt40p heads remember the stock springs on those will not even support the lift of the stock H.O. cam and a spring upgrade is needed

thanks for the comments. my ranger with me in it should be about 400lbs lighter. hoping for mid 12's.

My Maverick is right at 2900# stock Explorer short block, regular E7 heads (not Explorer) 3.00 gears. Will run 14.0's, high 8's in the 1/8. More cam of course, and possibly more gear would help, but I like driving it to any track, even out of state to race. Hooks on regular street tires too.

we have that that a 100 times, its pretty much a standard around here, in my opinion it can be done by mistake..lol..not much to get into the 12s with a stock 302
