Do you have the original? I thought that stock items, that are original to the car, were better for the value of the car? I suppose it depends upon your market: maybe the black top is more visually appealing and will sell to those that are looking for that "look". Or, maybe the purists would consider the after-market quality of the black top to not have the "classic" quality that they seek in a 20 year old Mustang.
In my Mustang, I definitely received more approval from the collectors when I told them that everything was original. The engine was slow, though, and when the racer-types heard that I didn't drop in a faster engine they would guffaw. I never won a race!

86 5.0's had the strange heads and no valve releifs interior the pistons. On the two motor vehicle, 3.fifty 5 gears could make a extensive distinction. The eighty 5 is far less annoying to mod because of the fact there is not any computer to rigidity approximately. The eighty 5 will additionally could desire to be as much as date to 86-ninety 3 exhaust to get authentic duals. The eighty 5 additionally has a smaller rearend 7.5 vs 8.8 for the 86-ninety 3. you may open up the exhaust and intake as pronounced above and placed 3.fifty 5 gears interior the 87 with out switching to MAF. Mine ran superb this way. as quickly as you start up establishing up the heads and installation a much bigger camshaft, then you will desire MAF because of the fact the cost density gadget won't make amends for the extra airflow and run lean.

I don't know about more value but I know it sure is easier to keep clean. My 1989 ford mustang gt has a black top on it and it never gets dirty.

Keep it as original as possible. There are codes that will tell it had a white top, so putting a black one on it will decrease its value.

Changing from original lessens values it does not improve values.
