Nope, the 3.8 was a option as was the mandatory automatic, for '86 & prior the carbed 2.3 & 4-speed was the std power train(had one)... The 3.8 is fairly uncommon in the earlier Stangs & was dropped in '87, not avail again till '94...BTW Welcome aboard... Quote Selected

Reply #16 – May 26, 2010, 12:19:27 PM Quote from: sct2003;323185This is Fox #6 for me and my last Mustang was an 03' Cobra that made 466/479 to the wheels.My daily drivers are a 2005 Focus and 2004 Sport Trac...I guess I'm a Ford man at heart? But since I've owned everything from big block Pontiac's to Turbocharged Mitsubishi's...I guess you can call me a car guy first and formost.Later...DaveWow you went from an 03 cobra to a v6 fox :D I love terminators though, but the foxbodys will always have a place in my heart since my first car was an 87 gt Quote Selected

My other car is a 05' Focus.Cars are cars...I've owned about 25 over the years and usually get bored once I'm done with them. The Cobra was a hell of a car but approaching the 500 HP mark was kinda the limit for me. Felt like I was done with her and didn't want to take that platform to another level. Wanted a change and something I could work on instead of just sitting there in the garage.Not sure what the ultimate goal of my 86' Fox is but I haven't ruled out throwing some serious power into it and making it a drag car?My first new car was a 88 LX 5.0 hatch with 3.08's and a 5 spd...it ran a best of 14.4 if I remember correctly? All it had was a K&N. Great cars...gave me the car bug for sure!!!:burnout:Later...Dave Quote Selected
