My guess about the 3.8 is that it was kinda like the naturally aspirated 2.3...it was an outdated engine design that was used as a grocery-getter engine for a LONG time and never received many upgrades, because there was no reason for it, Ford figured if somebody wanted performance from a Thunderbird or Mustang they would opt for one of the "better" engine options.


Out dated??? The 2.3 possibly, as it was introduced in '74(but it's Hell for stout)... The 3.8 didn't see light of day till the '82 models(course till the '99 models its still a POS)...
