What is the horsepower rating of the ford 5.0 liter ho enigine in 1989?

Answer 1

From wikipedia.org - In 1987, the Mustang received its first significant redesign since being introduced in 1979; incorporating both interior and exterior changes. The exterior design was reminiscent of the earlier SVO and gave the car more of an "Aero" look, in keeping with Ford's overall styling direction. With the end of the SVO in 1986, the models were now pared down to LX and GT. Tailight's on the LX were slightly revised, while the GT now wore a specific louvered treatment. Rear quarter glass windows on LX and GT's lost their louvered treatment and now sported a single piece of glass reading "Mustang" at the bottom. GT's retained foglights and new turbine style 15-inch (380 mm) wheels were introduced. LXs came without foglights and the GT specific alloys from 1985-1986 could now be had on LX 5.0 models. This particular Mustang represents the longest run on any platform and the popularity of the Mustang remained high due to its low cost and high performance. The 302 cu in (4.9 L) or "5.0" Mustangs, became popular with the aftermarket performance industry.[3] The V6 option was discontinued while the 2.3 L four-cylinder gained fuel injection, leaving only the 2.3 L four cylinder and the 302 cu in (4.9 L) V8. For 1987, the Mustang received E7 heads and a more capable intake manifold. Power ratings jumped to 225 hp (168 kW) and 300 ft·lbf (410 N·m) of torque. No major changes were seen in 1988. In 1989, the Mustang's speed density air system was replaced with a mass air system (1988 Mustangs sold in California also had the MAF system). This change slightly reduced factory horsepower, but it made Mustangs much easier to modify. With the mass air system, changes made to the intake, engine, and exhaust system would be recognized and compensated for by the ECU, resulting in a correct air/fuel ratio and optimum power. Ford's only gesture at a 25th Anniversary Mustang was small, a passenger-side dashboard emblem with galloping-horse logo affixed to all models built between March 27, 1989, and the end of model-year 1990.[6]. By 1990, Ford resources began to focus on the next Mustang, due to debut in 1994. There would be few changes in the model line through it's retirement in 1993. Most changes would be visual. For 1990, a limited run of about 5,000 emerald green exterior, and white leather interior 5.0 LX convertibles. Similarly, in 1992 and 1993, two special addition 5.0 LX convertibles were released in the spring. These models sported with Vibrant Red exteriors with Oxford White leather interiors in 1992, and Canary Yellow exteriors with Black leather interiors for 1993. With the end of the run near in 1993, Ford switched to cast hypereutectic pistons for all 302 cu in (4.9 L) engines and also re-rated the 5.0 GT at 205 hp (153 kW) and 275 ft·lbf (373 N·m) of torque. This estimate was more accurate because the previous power ratings were made before the addition of the mass air flow system, a minor revision in the cam, and other various changes. Under the newly established Ford SVT division, the Ford Mustang SVT Cobra was offered with the 302 in³ V8 that produced 235 hp (175 kW) and 280 ft·lbf (380 N·m) of torque. Featuring more subdued styling than the GT, the Cobra used Ford's new GT-40 high performance engine equipment, which could send a Mustang through the 1/4 mile in 14.5 seconds at just under 100 mph (160 km/h). A Cobra R model was also produced in 1993 that used the same engine as the regular Cobra. It featured larger brakes, Koni shocks and struts, an engine oil cooler, a Power Steering cooler, and a factory rear seat delete. Since the Cobra R was more race oriented, creature comforts such as air conditioning and a stereo system were not included.
