ORIGINAL: spoke2go1 and there has always been a 6 in the mustang, they never got rid of it
Correct me if Im wrong but from 79 to 93 didnt they just have 2.3s or 5.0s??? I dont remember them having a 6er back them, but I could be wrong.
Matt
you planted that little seed of doubt in the back of my head so i had to go check and yes from what im seein on american muscle's mustang history section there has always been a 6
there has not always been a 6. you are wrong check your facts again.
autobadges - that is a very true and very funny point!
just did, and there has my source is a book that i got a few years back called "100 years of ford, a centenial celebration of the ford motor company" it goes through every year showing the lineup of cars ford was offering and each year they had a 6 cyl
lets start with 1964 had an inline six as an entry level mustang 1965-larger base six and three optional 289 v8s 1972- price of a six cylinder mustang -$2729 1974- mustang II had the 170 inch v6 1980- 3.3 v6 engine was in the mustang 1983- 3.8 v8 replaced the 3.3 been a 3.8 in the mustang since 2004 then it got replaced as you all know by the 4.0
see, befor i make statements like there has always been a six in the mustang i try to do as much research as i can and it pays off when im right
*edit*3.9 in the 04 my bad

You're like the bully that picks on the little guy, and the little guy actually holds his own pretty well.
i'm not picking on anyone, he is wrong about a 6 in every year, i don't post bs on this forum like a lot people. if someone is wrong i will call them, and if someone posts in tech about how he laughs his ass off about racing a civic in his 16 second V6 mustang I will call him on it.
notice this was moved from tech to discussion.

i am sorry my friend, i am not trying to be a dick, but american muscle is wrong. the 3.8l motor was not reintroduced into the mustang until the 1994 redesign.

"The standard engine on LX models remained the 2.3 liter, four-cylinder. With fuel injection replacing the one-barrel carburetor on the four-cylinder for `87, power increased insignificantly to 90hp. The 3.8 liter V-6 was dropped from the engine lineup in 1987. The only option was the 5.0 liter V-8 HO which, thanks to a larger throttle body and better flowing cylinder heads, was capable of 225 horses. Suspension was also improved with the use of SVO technology, notably plastic ball joints, better rear stabilizer bar and modified McPherson struts."

ok you aren't listening, from 1987-1993 they did not produce a 6 cylinder mustang. From 1979-1986 there was a 3.8L V6 engine option. So there are fox body v6 mustangs, in fact there are some on this site, however there was a span (1987-1993) where no V6 motor was an option. In 1994 for the redesigned mustang the V6 was reintroduced and the 2.3 L 4 cylinder motor was dropped.
In 1987, the Mustang received its first redesign in eight years; incorporating both interior and exterior changes. The exterior design was reminiscent of the earlier SVO and gave the car more of an "Aero" look, in keeping with Ford's overall styling direction. This particular Mustang represents the longest run on any platform and the popularity of the Mustang remained high due to its low cost and high performance. The 302 in³ or "5.0" Mustangs, became popular with the aftermarket performance industry. The V6 option was discontinued while the 2.3 L four-cylinder gained fuel injection, leaving only the 2.3 L four cylinder and the 302 in³ V8. Under the newly established Ford SVT division, the Ford Mustang SVT Cobra was offered with the 302 in³ V8 that produced 235 hp (175 kW) and 280 ft·lbf (380 N•m) of torque.
I obviously came into this thread a tad late, but what was this argument about? Was it that NO fox had a 6? Or just 87-93? I was under the impression that somebody said NO fox had a 6...

Sorry had to do it, lol. I woulda been the same way had I read it somewhere and someone wanted to argue it... heck if it were me I'd still be arguing it until I called up some Ford historian and talked to them about it... haha.
