About 215. Ford revised thier Dyno methods in 1994, and it is the same 5.0 as the 1988 (California Mass Air) with a slightly different intake. All the 5.0's were downgraded to 215hp stock....I believe this is due to the fact that the 1996 4.6 ONLY made 215 too, so they lowered the ratings on the 5.0 to show the 4.6 can make the same power. My .02 anyway.
