There were a few years of the four eye'd fox 3.8L. They are a carb'd single port set up that made roughly 120 hp at the flywheel.
I had been looking for one for a long time when I ended up with my '90 5.0L. They are pretty tough motors. Not mucu to look at, but a good starting point. I'd love to find a little coupe like that to turn into a V6 drag car. Much easier than the wiring mess I got myself into with tossing out the 302 in favor of the V6.

it's either a 2.8L v6 or a 200 I-6

79's came with both as well as the 2.3 and 302 and i thing the 255 v8 or the 255 came out in 80 and was gone in 82
