Powertrain Options and Availability
Mustangs came with only two engines in 1990: an 88-horsepower, 2.3-liter 4-cylinder for the LX; and a husky 225-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8 for the GT and LX 5.0. The V8 whipped out 300 pound-feet of torque, enhancing the Mustang's muscle-car reputation. Either a 5-speed manual gearbox or 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission might be installed. Four-cylinder engines jumped to 105 horsepower for 1992, helped by two spark plugs per cylinder. Ford revised its method of engine measurement in 1993, saying new figures more accurately reflected engine output in on-road conditions. So, the 5.0-liter V8 then rated 205 horsepower (instead of 225) and 275 pound-feet ("down" from 300). Cobras of 1993 carried a 245-horse modification of the regular engine.
