Engine

351 ci Windsor

The first and most important step in modifying a Mustang or any other car is the engine.  A stock Mustang GT comes with a 289 ci engine in the older(60's and 70's) and a 302 ci in the 80's and early 90's models.  Most modified Mustangs consist of the stock GT engines with aftermarket high performance engine parts such as: carbeurators, headers, cams, and intake manifolds. 

If you chose to put in a whole different engine for extra horsepower, any aftermarker Ford Motorsports engines will suffice.  Here are some recommended engines.

  • 351 ci Windsor

  • 390 ci

  • 428 ci Cobra Jet
