Mustang 1979-1983

For 1979, an all new Mustang hit the dealerships. Larger and based on the Fox platform, the new Mustang deviated from the smaller compact Mustangs of the past. The interior was completely redone and could now comfortably seat four, even with the smaller back seat. The new Mustang also enjoyed a great deal of trunk space and a bigger engine bay for better serviceability. The 2.3 L four-cylinder from the earlier car was continued, but refined, in addition to a new turbocharged version rated at 132 hp (98 kW). However, the latter was dropped after one year, due to reliability issues. The Mustang II's 2.8 L Cologne V6, made by Ford of Europe, was continued only for a year. The low-reving 302 also returned, rated at 140 hp (104 kW) at 3200 rpm. Mustang was again chosen as pace car for duties in the Indianapolis 500. Ford commemorated the honor with an "Indy 500" pace car edition.

Ford's 3.3 L inline-six replaced the 2.8 L V6 for mid-1979, as supplies of the 2.8 were inadequate. The new 4.2 L V8 was the only V8 offered from 1980 to 1981. Basically a de-bored 302, the 4.2 L V8 had restrictive heads and managed to produce 120 hp (88 kW), the lowest power ever for a Mustang V8. In 1982, the Mustang was revived with the reintroduction of the Mustang GT; bringing more V8 power from the 302 in³ engine via new valves, a more aggressive cam, a larger 2-barrel carburetor, and a better breathing intake and exhaust system, rated at 157 hp (117 kW). With the 302, it was one of the quickest domestic cars in America.
