Mustang Lawsuit in the early '80s--Yes or No?

I know the ho came out in 82 but it was two barrel.  Just wondering what it was on the 84.

The '82 used a 350 CFM 2BBL, marine cam and heads that were comparable to E7s(as did all but the '86)... Compression was approx 8.3:1 due to dished pistons... Had cast iron exhaust manifolds and single exaust...

The '83 & '84 HO was similar to the '82 but used a Holley 4bbl carb...
AFIK there were no automatics in '82 or '83 but the '84 were CFI 2 BBL...

BTW the '83 Stang caused quite a stir in the motor head circles as it was the first 4bbl performance engine to come down the pike in a few years... At least in anything that didn't weigh 4000+ lbs...

The '85 5 speed HO used true tube headers and the roller camshaft, exaust system was two into one catalytic conv back to dual stainless... The '85 autos were basically same as '84, and did not use the headers or roller cam...
