Canuck121 Administrator Staff member Feb 25, 2017 #281 Cool. Looked it up and 250 were produced with a 5.8 (which I did know if I had thought about it)
Canuck121 Administrator Staff member Feb 25, 2017 #282 In 1993 Ford offered this option for the first time in the Mustang. What was the option?
Canuck121 Administrator Staff member Feb 25, 2017 #284 Wasn't air bags. Good guess though. Was a $619 upgrade
Canuck121 Administrator Staff member Feb 26, 2017 #286 Nope not ABS. Another clue is that some car manufacturers will be dropping this option soon....or have already.

Canuck121 Administrator Staff member Feb 26, 2017 #288 Correct! I think your can have as many guesses as you care to give. Hard to believe it was that much back in 1993. Next question is yours ??

92LX302 Moderator Staff member Feb 28, 2017 #292 The GT got the aluminum block 3V in 05, but the 96 Cobra had an aluminum block

Well I guess the Cobra was a limited production vehicle, with a hand-built engine... Ok - So what was the other option explored by Ford to refresh their V8 line instead of the Modulars (4.6/5.4) in the late 80s?

Mineral Grey Well-known member Feb 28, 2017 #296 I'd say the 4 cyl turbos? Like used in the Taurus and t bird ?
Ohtobbad Administrator Staff member Mar 1, 2017 #297 In early 80's there was 4,2 V-8 I didn't think they made 4.6 and 5.4 until mid 90's?
92LX302 Moderator Staff member Mar 1, 2017 #298 Ok I'll word this better. In the late 80s, when the time came to start designing a replacement to the Windsors (302/351), Ford considered another alternative than the Modulars (4.36/5.4/6.8). It was proposed by Roush Industried. What was it?

Ohtobbad Administrator Staff member Mar 1, 2017 #299 So it was an idea? Or was it produced for Mustang?
92LX302 Moderator Staff member Mar 1, 2017 #300 3 were produced in 2 different displacement. 1 of those engine supposedly still exist in a hot rod. I'll give hint til Friday and give the answer if no one finds out.
