It was a 3.9 with 250 HP. How stupid. And yes, I think that engine was developed for the bird. Shoulda just stuck in the 4.6 300hp engine. They would have saved a fortune in development, and people would have liked it and bought it. Kinda makes u wonder why the top brass from Ford failed common sense 101 ???
A nice sporty car like that needed a little torque to make it fun and complete the package.
