1979 Mustang Crate Engines and Cylinder Blocks
The 1979 Mustang's stock engine was disappointing to many. If you want to add serious horsepower, then swapping out your stock engine for an aftermarket crate engine or cylinder block is a smart move.
While the highest horsepower available from the stock options checks in at around 140, you can easily send that number soaring to 575 with an aftermarket engine swap. Combined with the lightweight factory build, your '79 Fox would be set to cruise the streets and burn rubber at the track.
With options from trusted names like Ford Performance and Edelbrock, you'll have an engine you can trust.
Crate engines offer a drop-in solution. Though You'll need more equipment to make your engine swap complete, the engine itself is built. If you prefer to build out your engine to meet your needs exactly, then a cylinder block might be a better fit. Coupled with the right cylinder heads and camshafts, you'll have a custom-built engine that will suit your driving style.
