380K on 5.0 V8

I have a '93 T-Bird LX (was there any other trim level?) with a 5.0 V-8. This engine is unbelievable. The car now has over 380K miles on the original engine. Have only done oil, filters, plugs, wires and the engine is as strong as ever. Doesn't like anything less than 91 Octane.. unfortunately. I have replaced brake pads probably every 30K and rotors every 60K. Rear brakes have faired better. Replaced the transmission (at 120k) and rear main seal (at 250K). Has always had electrical system gremlins. The interior is falling apart and the body is showing signs of 10 NE winters. This engine is incredible.

I bought this car in 1998 with 80,000 miles and I now have 125,000 on its 3.8 liter engine. I have had no major problems but have dealt with minor things: rear brakes ($230 labor included),fog-light switch, wiper motor ($100), mass air-flow sensor($130), inner tie rods ($40, both sides), tie- rod end ($30?), and a broken fuel line ($200 w/ labor). This is my first car that I bought when I was 16 and of the few problems, I have been able to fix them all myself (except the fuel line & brakes). I still have good power even after 125,000 miles. It does burn about 3/4 quart of oil in-between changes however.
great car

ok i am a auto techician and i like the car it has been good to me i did have to put head gaskets in it but that is par for course it will happen sooner than later so be prepared but all that aside the car runs great it even pulls my boat really good so itcan't be all bad and the tail lights on the trunk lid that has the t-bird symbol the bulbs are not replaceable so if you have one burn out go to a junk yard and get one that works or spend 220 dollars at the dealership for one
Reliable, if a little slow

The paint on the bumper is peeling, and there are parts coming off of the dash, but for the price, it's still comfortable (even without the leather interior) and acceptably fast. It may not have much acceleration, even after I had the injectors cleaned, and put new oil (with a hi-po oil filter) in it. This car really is reliable, after 122k miles it's still running strong, and smoothly, although the tranny doesn't seem to cater to those with a need for acceleration. The car is big too, but doesn't feel all that big. I have carried three (full)computers, and three people in the car before, with room to spare.
good car!
